50 issues in less than a year!
Grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it. This one’s a small celebration & a humble thank-you to everyone who’s been part of the journey.
Marked it with a small give-back in the 50th issue itself.❤️

The past couple of days have been spectacular!
After sharing my take on PnP build size, I went digging to see where the community actually landed.
Curious? I break it all down in my 49th issue. 👀

How big is too big to build a print-and-play game?
I’ve played heavy builds, light builds, and everything in between; and I’m sharing my take in Issue #48 of the newsletter.

It’s not always about winning!
Sometimes it’s about slowing down & letting your mind breathe.
I walked through a game I found quite therapeutic, get to know more about it in my 47th newsletter issue.

Different themes, different moods, wildly different ideas, but all worth keeping an eye on!
Three very different games are lining up to kick off the year.

Time to reveal yet another bias of mine!
After Lantern and Black Sonata, I’ve developed a soft spot for an 18-card game that needs no playing surface except your hands. Any guess?

I sometimes brag to my newsletter buddies about the open rate and CTR (60% and 20% respectively), not for the numbers themselves, but because they reflect the kind of community that’s grown around it.

As a blogger and game designer, I’ve always wanted to be closer to my readers.
But it's something I feel articles don’t quite deliver on their own. That’s why, on Feb '25, I launched my newsletter on @beehiiv.com.

Chasing someone 400 years ago, in Shakespearean London!
Some games turn pursuit into poetry, suspense & deduction so beautifully it feels effortless.
Featuring one such game in my 42nd newsletter issue: pnptime.beehiiv.com/p/in-search-...

Switching from escaping mazes to building one!
I’m looking back at a free, underrated, puzzly PNP I played earlier this year, with a super catchy name: Ambagibus.
Read my 39th newsletter issue to know all about it:

#newsletter #printandplay #indiegames #pnptime
I used to think print and play escape rooms were one and done.
Then I tried something different, and the experience completely changed.
I wrote about that shift in the 38th issue of my newsletter:

Merry Christmas everyone!
Shared a little note, along with a couple of free PNP games in my 37th issue of newsletter:

This game felt personal!
A game about sick days & paid leave, which feels oddly perfect for the end of the year. I usually take a week to sum up my thoughts, but this PNP just went 100% free, so here are my thoughts after 12 hours.
Issue no. 36👇
