Promotional graphic with a purple and blue fantasy-themed background and crystal-like formations. The image features two logos: the Wizards of the Coast logo in rainbow gradient colors on the left, and the Trans Lifeline logo in white on the right. Large bold text in the center reads: “Support Trans Lifeline.” Below, smaller text says “Tune in Oct 4” next to the Twitch logo.

Wizards of the Coast is hosting a Twitch stream to support Trans Lifeline, a hotline and non-profit organization offering direct support to trans people in crisis – for the trans community, by the trans community.

Tune in to twitch.tv/magic on Oct 4th at 10am PT to play games with us and support!

As I mention in thread, small cheap games like this aren't expected to do big numbers but exist to be the second item in the cart. Which makes me delighted that this one is doing surprisingly well! Definitely more interest here than in last year's word game!

Happy Bi Visibility Day!

Be kind to everyone. Life is a gift.

I come and go from BlueSky in fits and spurts related to available time, to catch up on game industry people and news, support people, interest in sharing, etc.
Today, I share I will be radio silent for a little while. For my mental health, I must mitigate negative influences.
DM me if you wish.

Jerry from Ben & Jerry's has resigned after 47 years after Unilever silenced their politcal activism.

I was in the industry of educational assessment for years. To me, what you are seeing with this is:
1. The test results having too much bearing - probably on funding of either the school, dept, or teacher
2. Teacher teaching to the test

The emphasis is thus on test scores, not actual learning.

The original design on the left circa 2009 and called Borderlines. An iterated version in the middle, now called Enemy Lines, on actual wood circa 2016. Latest physical prototype on the right after major redesigns and playtesting, circa 2022.

Where Enemy Lines began, how it evolved, to where it is now - excited to see it develop into the final published version. Long 🎲✂️ road!

Very underrated movie and amazing cast.

So excited to have signed my first board game deal!
Long time coming for Enemy Lines. Its 🎲✂️ journey began around 2006. Lots of playtesting and iterating over the years to finally get to this point. Not my first design, but the first that felt complete.
Watch for news and updates on the game!

That somehow does not surprise me. 🙂

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Playing a board game with my wife
2. Cats
3. A great slice of pizza
4. Making a family member smile
5. Listening to music I like

I will be there. Will you?

😡😢
I just don’t have the words.

Trans people are people. What they do with their very own bodies ain't nobody's business but their own. Trans rights are human rights.

Full stop.

The news is just… I cannot… Sigh. After exiting a harsh bit of depression and anxiety the past two weeks, I may need to ignore most news for a bit. It is overwhelming - the amount of hate, persecution, vitriol, and fear.

On the positive side, I should be sharing some exciting 🎲✂️ news very soon.

Gosh, I have not played in many years. I did bring it to a con earlier this year but did not get it on the table.

YouTube video by Hollandspiele SKITTLE: the board game series that destroyed its publisher

The Aurora Plastics Corporation, later Aurora Products, was known for their slot cars and licensed model kits. But the publication of a board game would change everything.

This.

So fucking glad I live in New England. But I really wish it was 90%+ everywhere. I am not naive to think 100% will ever be possible anywhere. We cannot control we who like, love, are. Acceptance is huge — so so important.

I was raised in one town. I rejected it in my 20s. When anyone asks about my hometown, I pause. That town that would be by definition my hometown is not it. Another town I spent 21 years in - longest I’ve been anywhere - is not either. We just moved back to a place I lived for 12 years. It is home.

But next time we are both at the same game con, I will bring some for you.

I know where amazing ones are near Concord NH, but that does not help you right now.
