Unrelated to Thanksgiving I was forced to take stock of a variety of tabletop endeavors and how they fit into my life and damn if life isn’t an embarrassment of riches. Really grateful of how much vibrant, inspiring art we have access to in RPGs and board games right now.

100% game completion in 75 hours 38 minutes for Silksong

It is finished. Silksong is a really great game, but by act 3, the difficulty was taxing, with most bosses taking 20-30 attempts at minimum. That said, most of the game felt fair, and you can really feel yourself getting better, which is a nice change from some of my other hobbies 😄.

That is a prodigious amount of
... beef?

My article all about Designing Secrets of Power came out today! (Earlier than I expected, but it makes sense given the holiday.) This one was significantly more personal to me #FFGStaff starwarsunlimited.com/articles/beh...

It's been a hot minute since I've been to Reading Terminal Market. My memory was that the hogie shop was ~amazing~

I remember playtesting early versions of this game, and it's great to see how far it's come!

As a tiny future feature request I know it's difficult with your current system, but being able to mix token types on a sheet (e.g like 15 1" circles and 15 1.19" hexes) would be lovely!

blank laser cut tokens, in and out of sprues, in all shapes and sizes!

Laser-cut tokens in every flippin' shape imaginable? Yeah, we can do that 😉

Nothing for Unplugged (can't make it, sadly), but I'm planning to have something together for Unpub!

I need to get it to the table! I have enjoyed the other games in the Great Statesperson series, but it's tricky to find a group and the time for

The Midnight Market has vanished for now . . .

We'll see you next time, when the night calls for the market to open once again. 🌖

A little under 3 hours until the Midnight Market opens. It's a waning gibbous moon tonight, which means the games offered will be especially spectacular.

Ill also be showing it at Metatopia in NJ this weekend in Morristown. feel free to look for me in open gaming.
