I need a visual reminder of my drafts or I'll simply forget they exist

Yeah, I think right now there's not a lot of good reason not to just shoot on sight if you're pretty good at PvP.

Thanks! I bumped into a couple of my professors and they were really excited to hear about some of the stuff I've been working on (which also felt pretty cool).

Got asked to come back to my alma mater and speak to current English majors and other kids interested in game design about my work, so that's pretty cool

The cover of Bonds Between by Jon Boyle, Bri di Dannan, Emily Entner, and Lucas Zeller. A square book with a pink background. The title is in a cute cursive font. The image is a book cracked open with multicolored flowers blooming out of the pages. A rust-colored leafy dragon tail pokes out of the book

An example from the interior of Bonds Between. On the lefthand page, information about Ending the Season (rules for finishing a magical cycle along with an example of play). The righthand page is titled Prepare a Spell and includes subheadings Explore Your Hoard and Select a Gift for Your Bonded. An illustration of a patio with green vines on a trellis spans both pages

A charming duet for 2 renewal-minded dragons. What drives you? Community, creativity, collaboration. Collaged, altered playing cards mend your surroundings so dive into your junk drawer (er, hoard) and find your art supplies

One Zine Month project I did manage to check out is Axolotl with a Gun (the first edition available in the No ICE bundle). You might be cute but that doesn't stop you from taking affirmative and violent action! I discuss it on this week's @omnigamers.bsky.social but the campaign will be nearly over.
