All set up to test version 2 of Drag Debutante, where players get drag daughters, zhuzh up their wardrobe and accessories, and send them to compete in Ballroom events.

Just played this neat abstract. It's surprising how easy it is to inadvertently set yourself up to be squished or make a paradox.

Great playtest session yesterday of my simplified drag dancing game. A number of things to fix, but overall the streamlined gameplay was successful. I probably could've discovered a couple of these pain points by solo testing, so I'll be sure to do that after I implement (before I test with others).

Yours looks different with the placement of the Hydra logo, and I don't see Bucky's arm on your model

Making sure you have the right publisher for your theme is important. I am designing games about drag queens, so I understand that need.

All BlueSky needs is communities (public and private) and I'd have no more use for Meta

(1) Once upon a time, there was a village and a tower
(2) It was such a pretty tower, some one decided to make it taller and taller
(3) One day, there was a great storm and the tower people grew very worried. "Everyone help or the tower will topple!"
(4) The people of the village didn't want to help. "You shouldn't have made the tower so big!"
(5) But there was a problem. "The tower is so big, if it falls, it will destroy the village."
(6) So the people gathered parts of their houses and reinforced the tower.
(7) And when the wind died down, they made it twice as tall. 
(8) And they lived happily ever after.
The book is titled Finance Fairy Tales.

One of the things I like about Meta's platform is building private communities, and I don't see that on BlueSky. It's a different form of engagement that keeps me on that platform, despite my deep-seated dislike for the way they promote their suggested pages over the content I've told them I like.

One of the main considerations I would have when making selection would be the ease of setup/breakdown, and replaceability of components. Ideally, there will be an obvious place for everything when you're packing it up, easy to check that you have everything, and not hard to source replacement parts

I think the QR codes are a good idea, assuming decent wifi coverage.

I have printable acetate sheets and a Cricut for making card frames. Now I just have to figure out how to make everything interchangeable without exclusion of the myriad of body types.

I want to make a board game with transparent cards about fashion and design in the world of drag, but still representing body types and being inclusive of trans, enby, Intersex, and the amazing community of Drag kings and nongendered drag monarchs.

I have a worker placement mechanism in Drag Dynasty, where there are spots to take the action, and spots to take the action and trigger a mini game where players compete for ballroom trophies (after which the action spaces are cleared).

You're absolutely right that it looks great. I'm excited to see if their character creation and progression in the course of a campaign. Hope it is more than just cookie cutter advancement.

At a time when certain groups' civil rights are being eroded, we need more games that celebrate themes like this.
