A small poster sign that says "Wee! Woo! Win!" With a picture of the three Sirens capitals in one corner and coach Fargo in the other. There's a hand drawn siren and hockey stick and puck as well.

"Theory of mind" describes the realization that other people have different minds than yours. I feel like it's a lifetime's work to truly internalize.

Perhaps tabletop games appeal to me because within their magical circle, the hardest part of that work evaporates.

Yes, a lot of games...

A white pit bull mix with a few light brown spots stands in the entrance of a hallway. The sun is shining in from behind and down the hall, giving the dog a nice glow.

Hey I just want to remind everyone that even if vaccines did cause autism (they don’t), they also cause ALIVE CHILDREN, and if you don’t think an alive autistic child is something to celebrate, please fuck off into the sun forever

BREAKING: I'm starting up a new line of games that I'll be putting out on @thegamecrafter.bsky.social. Some will be reprints of older Formal Ferret Games, some of these will be expansions to existing games, and some are going to be brand new.

Of course, I'm calling it Informal Ferret Games.
