The solo-only castle siege game I've been working on feels like it would benefit from some streamlining and reduction of rules overhead.

Without knowing any details of the game, what should I cut?

This Song's Just Six Words Long

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

"too many machine guns and functionally useless" is a selling point in my book! Who could say no to that?

A board game with loads of tokens, including poo tokens, on various parts of the board.

Just had a nice evening playing @jontexmo.bsky.social's game about renaissance poo, Night Soil. Lots of fun, but I did sooo, sooo badly. I got the hang of things by the end, but it was way too late. Looking forward to another try tough.

If it were me I would probably try a dark wash or maybe dry brush with dark brown?

For context though, it's been decades since I was painting

Looks nice to me :) and I painted Nurgle for years

I was going to joke and say "a time machine to before tournaments and tie-ins" but honestly:

A box of 1000 used random cards and a good friend willing to try things and learn alongside me

I just got Space Gits and this would be PERFECT for that too...

It's #CraftWednesday! Do you have a game-related crafting project in progress? It could be a prototype, print and play, upgrading the components of a favourite game, making an accessory or even something larger like a table or games room. Share a picture and join in! Please RP!

Burned will be in backers' hands in a month! Very excited to get it out into the wild

Awesome.

I hate it

Come hang with me this afternoon at @gamekastlecp.bsky.social in College Park MD -- they have Sanibel and I'm happy to sign starting at 2. I'll stick around and playtest (other people's games) with Break My Game til probably about 5 pm.

Well, that’s a surprise!
I expected “Night Soil” to be a lighthearted funny #boardgame about shovelling poop in Tudor London
But, instead, it’s a complex and quite innovative worker placement game with a seemingly good historical insights into… shovelling poop in Tudor London!

Faith in Crisis/Transition/Expansion It’s hard, maybe impossible, to not put yourself into Keep the Faith, the latest board game by Greg Loring-Albright. Going in, I always tell myself the same thing. This time, I say, the relig…

Keep the Faith is a hybrid tabletop/roleplaying game by @gregisonthego.bsky.social that explores a religion in transition. As if there were any other kind! My review: spacebiff.com/2026/01/13/k...

HELLO

Game Crafter!

I have exponentially less time to playtest with other humans than I do to endlessly beautify prototypes ;)

A card game on a black tabletop. An overlapped array of cards show the many stories of Norse lore. Beside it, a map made of cards shows the Nine Realms. Cubes and disks represent mortals and Fate

Found the mental space to do some design work last week! Blood & Mead is pretty close, I think, just some balancing mostly around setup I hope

Maybe they're just SO talented that they CAN judge a game's balance based only on the box blurb...

Dawn of the final day!

We'll be here until MITS is done!

Folks it’s the last day of #magfest 2026 and I am HERE in the tabletop hall (riverview ballroom, outside the main building through the atrium) and I want to talk to YOU about Tiny Mall Wizards and Hostile Architecture.

#MAGfest2026 If you like retro pixel art and ttrpgs come visit us in the MITS for books (and prints, if you're just into pixel art!) before 2pm! #MAGfest

Le dessus de la boite du jeu Night Soil

Aperçu du plateau d'une partie en cours du jeu Night Soil

Aprem à l'asso : Night Soil où l'on joue une compagnie chargée de l'évacuation des déchets dans la ville de Londres sous les Tudor.
Passé un temps d'adaptation pour bien voir le plateau, on se retrouve avec un jeu de pose d'ouvriers et de pickup & delivery bien brise neurones. On en redemande!
