(Don't tell them, but "lateral insights" is MOSTLY game design tools applied to the business world.)

Want to work together? I do.

I'm delighted to announce that I'm launching my own independent creative studio. Can't wait to collab with you!

A regret: I should have stopped him in the airport to ask where he got that hard yellow suitcase. It was the perfect shade and shape. Now I’ll never know.

I’m excited for both! Making myself finish my other games (Far Cry Primal, Hogwarts Legacy) before starting a new one.

I'm in the beta for Apple's new Glass UI, and gang... I'm not reactionary, I tend to be very open-minded about design choices... but this is so hard to use that I'm literally considering a switch to a Google phone.

Trying to decide between Blue Prince and Control as my next game … clearly in pursuit of liminal spaces.

My greatest sin as a game designer? I cannot stand Ticket to Ride. I would rather play Monopoly, 100 out of 100 times. This is my secret shame.

I mean not so secret, I guess, since I posted it here.

But still, my shame.

Ended my #GDC adventure with a great talk by the inimitable Jesse Schell. Now getting lunch at Mel’s Drive-In, then back to the hotel for a hard half-day’s work.

My first day of GDC, I felt a little lost. Today, I had great conversations with old friends and colleagues. People really do make all the difference.

Day 2 of GDC, day 2 of Sightglass. Good coffee is good coffee.

If you’re looking for a good meal at GDC, I absolutely recommend Burma Love.

I’m short on plans for the rest of the day. If anyone at GDC needs a friendly face to practice their pitch with or wants me to gas them up, give me a shout, I’m around! #GDC

Whoa, where is that!

I’m in the Cyberpunk MaxTac talk at GDC. I’m not a developer, so it’s all Greek to me, but just being in the room, hearing @cdpr.bsky.social folks talk about my favorite game is all my nerdy little heart needs.

Amazing, I’m in. Also in no order:

Thousand Year-Old Vampire
D&D 5E, babyyyy
Dread
Lasers & Feelings
Never Tell Me the Odds*

*This one’s mine but it’s still one of my favorites.

GDC Wisdom

First session. Stoked for this. #GDC

Killer coffee at Sightglass before diving into my first day of #GDC.

I’m here! It’s real! Let’s goooo #GDC

Also I know nobody here but I’m very happy and excited to have arrived.

My brain is broken. I get to San Francisco for #GDC and all my subconscious can serve me is this old clip from Flight of the Navigator.

Same, boarding right now!

Hey, Roll20 is awesome!
