What a boost the Origins Award Finalist announcement gave to to the Bonsai Diary! @ipr.bsky.social is now sold out. But good news: a new shipment arrives in the warehouse today. More good news for retailers: I've upgraded the back cover to help you better sell in store (see next post)
That's such a cool thing to do to help folks!

They are (were) my go-to for prototypes.
That's more dice than I remember!
That's more dice than Chicken Fried!
Most of my YouTube Digest, if not games, is Food and Drum related content. Drumeo, Drumble and Yoni Madar on top of all the Drum Corps stuff I obsess with are some of my favorites.
Despite being back at work, Kickstarter is retaliating against our teammates for our legally-protected strike action from last year. Tell Kickstarter’s CEO this is both ILLEGAL and UNACCEPTABLE
Logic & Lore is one of the best two player games, especially if you're a fan of logic puzzles. And the expansions will add even more twists. The original edition was already VERY replayable so this sounds like infinite possibilities! 2 days left to back!

Today I worked with her to replace its Inside-Out color scheme with a more personal palette related to a big part of her tween life: Primary. com clothing. It's one step closer to a more authentic biography game.
I hope you'll come play it with me at Unpub next month!

A bit blown away by the glowing response to Walkable City's announcement yesterday. Appreciate the incredibly kind words from everyone 💖 Thank you all so much!
You deserve it!

Today I want to share that Ryan Dancey and AEG have parted ways.
This is not an easy post to write. Ryan has been a significant part of AEG’s story, and I am personally grateful for the years of work, passion, and intensity he brought to the company. We have built a lot together.
Damn straight.
If you use AI to design a board game, or do the artwork for your board game, I will never buy it, never play it, never review it, and I will side-eye your company for all future projects.
If you brag about doing it, you're a weapons grade douche bag, that doesn't deserve a place in our industry.
Wow, this guy really hates people. I'd feel pretty crummy if I were one of the talented designers he was dumping on.
Take em to a blender, and grind them into a crumb.
Next time you make Mac N Cheese, or anything baked, add this crumb on top!
New comic! Be honest… are you the one who rotates just the box lid or also makes sure the rulebook is rotated correctly? 👀

Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.
I recently chatted with Emily and Jason on the Building the Game Podcast about the lack of good advice for hobbyist designers and the benefits of going on a lil hiatus.
Tldr; Y'all. Take a break. I'm making the coolest stuff I've ever done right now.

Liz is not only super smart, hard working, and passionate about games... she's also very mindful and caring about the community. Gender alone isn't some magical marker. But having women with perspective on the challenges minorities face as producers and players of games is meaningful and important.
Awesome!!! I'll keep you updated on my plans! I'll more than likely be there after lunch! :)
Show me around! I'm a strategiccon noob!! <3
Headed down to LA for the weekend! Stopping by StrategicCon, I may spend some time with my brother which is so awesome to be connected again, and doing some Chicken Fried Dice stuff with @panda8ngel.bsky.social and others at Geeky Teas!
I'm so excited!!
Who's all going to be at StrategicCon?
I just backed Logic & Lore 2nd Edition & Expansion on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/wei...
Tantrum Con gets better every year and continues to punch well above its weight class in bringing in publishers and industry notables. Had an amazingly fun and inspiring time!
