Okay, here's a funny request!
I'm writing a piece on roll-and-move for Senet Magazine. I have some great responses about the potential of the system, but I want a designer to tell me why roll-and-move sucks and they would never consider using it in their own game. Let's talk.

A piece of paper showing a 4x4 grid mostly filled with drawings of buildings. Next to the grid are building names next to polyomino shapes with squares of different colors.
I make games because I love every step of the processβthe initial idea, the scrappy first prototype, the first playtest filled with glee and failure and hope.
Hereβs my scrappy first prototype of Tiny Towns. [1/6]

Hivemind: I have a task that WOULD actually be useful to automate: A tool that tells me if it's possible to fit a set of irregular die cuts within a given sheet. Then, if so, offer options for how they might be arranged. We've done this by hand for years. Is there a script for this kind of thing?

Graphic celebrating our strike ending. It reads:
November 12, 2025
The Strike is Over!
with a raised fist and the Kickstarter United logo in each corner
After 7 months of bargaining, and 42 days of striking Kickstarter United has voted to end the strike
Graphic with multiple picket signs that reads "[up arrow] Minimum Salary", "4 day Work Week", and a big cancel sign over "AI Replacing Jobs" and so much more. Go to kickstarterunited.org to see it all!
WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity
Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

Pax Unplugged Publisher List 2025
Hey board game designers I made a list of Pax Unplugged publishers: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
"Would need to ask", means website and maybe contact, but their site doesn't mention submissions.
Leave a comment if I need to fix something up.

JKR is funding life-destroying legislation. When you license HP and put it on your product, the money you pay to do that is literally ruining lives. This isn't ambiguous, it is direct, measurable harm. I will never give a penny to a company who chooses money over the lives of my friends.
