I've done my part on Night Witches! It's an art issue now!

Thank you so much! For a book, try Women in Intelligence by Helen Fry.

Queen of Spies by SaltandPepper - Gamefound Queen of Spies is a solo, story-driven board game of espionage and daring missions set in occupied Belgium during the First World War.

I am not 100% sure how Salt & Pepper does international distribution but I know they localize games in Portuguese and care about the games market in South America so there is def hope.

Thanks to @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social for publishing it, and to Meeple Foundry for making it pretty. It feels pretty damn good to have it on the table. :)

There's always money in the banana... carts? (Also: CONGRATS you rock!)

A touching love note from the HRE on Virgin Queen Night. 😂

Good piece, and I'm with you. But let's never reach that point, because if we do, it means I will no longer be making board games.

I know my Coke is legit because it comes with a warning label.

I went to two very different conventions in November, and had an amazing time at both. Here's the lowdown! youtu.be/8bPze0Wxn3A

Queen of Spies by SaltandPepper - Gamefound Queen of Spies is a solo, story-driven board game of espionage and daring missions set in occupied Belgium during the First World War.

Don’t forget that while tomorrow is Black Friday, you should save a little money to back Queen of Spies when it goes live on Dec. 4–next week! ;) It’s the first design from @djackthompson.bsky.social and me to hit crowdfunding and we are really proud of it. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

a cartoon of woodstock standing next to a turkey with the words happy thanksgiving below it Alt: Snoopy, in a chef hat, reveals a Thanksgiving turkey to Woodstock. Woodstock jumps up and down happily. The caption at the bottom says "Happy Thanksgiving."

Happy Thanksgiving, all of you! I am thankful for the fact that I get to spend my weekend doing some combo of:
- Playing solo board games
- Doing Murdle puzzles
- Napping
- Watching Hallmark movies
- Not cooking because my bf and I ordered a 10-person feast from a local restaurant. For just us.

I once again spent all my money at Indie Press Revolution. 😆I picked up a copy of Eleventh Beast, btw.

Nothing wrong with a good cry, especially over something happy.

I can’t wait for the day when you decide to test out a dexterity game during a flight and post about whatever happens next. 😂
