Punch Bowl: An Award-Winning Game of Giant Fruits 🍊🍇🍋🍓 A stunning and strategic game of competitive punch-making with mouthwatering fruit gems, from the makers of Fire Tower

Great creators behind this one. And it already won "Best in Show" at @bostonfig.bsky.social! That's why I just backed Punch Bowl: An Award-Winning Game of Giant Fruits 🍊🍇🍋🍓 on @kickstarter.com. Please check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/run...

A publisher...an excited publisher is what it needs! 😜

Had a fun chat with the great folks at The WRPG recently at Unpub Festival, discussing Let Sleeping Giants Lie and Rover Roll Over!

Derwent, it's coming along very well and I think it's in a really good spot! Maybe we should exchange some playtests at the next @protospielo.bsky.social! 😀
What's your favorite project right now?

Haha, thanks! 😜

So much fun sharing Rover Roll Over and Let Sleeping Giants Lie at @unpub.bsky.social Festival this weekend. Thanks for all the help and so happy to see and meet so many people. Can’t wait for next time!

Excited to make the drive down to @unpub.bsky.social Festival tomorrow! Two returning games, Let Sleeping Giants Lie and Rover Roll Over. Both have improved and would love more help from playtesters, designers, and publishers. See you all soon!

Duat - The Underworld Awaits Duat is an abstract puzzle strategy game for 2 players made entirely of marble. With only 3 moves a turn, you'll constantly wrestle with how to best defend your own pieces while threatening your oppon...

Great local creators behind this project! That's why I'm excited to be the 61st backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Duat - The Underworld Awaits! Check it out!!!

Widget's Workshop | "Drop-style" game | 2-5 players, 30 minutes Widget’s Workshop takes the imprecision of a spatial game, and turns that imprecision into the very mechanism that makes the game possible!

Great creators behind this one, both publisher and designer! That's why I'm proud to be the 154th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Widget's Workshop | "Drop-style" game | 2-5 players, 30 minutes! Check it out!

I didn’t really post any pictures from PAX Unplugged nor the awesome BostonFIG, but this picture pretty sums up why I make games. So glad for the opportunities to share and bring some family fun!
@bostonfig.bsky.social

Me too, although I haven’t been checking recently!

The rules say Yes. Should be able to file claim for reimbursement from the HSA

More Unpub playtesting! Pirates of the High Teas by @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social, Rover Roll Over by @jeffjohnstonpojg.bsky.social, Purrfect Day by @vickilanger.bsky.social, and @douglevandowski.bsky.social’s party game On a Scale!

So many fun moments at @unpub.bsky.social Unpub Prime this weekend. Here’s a fun photo dump of many games. But, I’d say the sweetest moments were helping other designers with their projects. Good luck all!

Fun sharing Let Sleeping Giant Lie today at @TheUnpub Prime in Towson MD. Come find me 12-4 Sat and 10- 2 Sun!

A fun first day at Granite Game Summit playing Let Sleeping Giants Lie, Rover Roll Over and other fun prototypes. Come play with me tomorrow! :)

A great day at Total Confusion Game Convention (TotalCon) playing with old and new fans! Fun with Let Sleeping Giants Lie, Campfire Smokeout, Rover Roll Over, Bearly Asleep and Scaredy Crows…whew!!!

Heard a very interesting and curious bird call while walking in the park. Whipped out the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Merlin app to identify the species. Apparently this is the “kids on squeaky swings” migration season! :)

Here I am. I put the ‘eff in “ ‘eff’ing Jeff“! :)

3hr blocks—I’m leaning towards more opportunities as well

How cool are these components?!

Agreed!

Actually, I’ve decided the package will include a heartfelt handwritten note with feedback that will break the game into a new level of fun!
Must always keep the glass half full! :)

Well, this is a just minor faux pas. I’m happy they spent time with it

That awkward timeframe between getting a FedEx notice that the publisher is returning your prototype and getting the e-mail saying they’re passing….
At least I have fair warning! :)

At PAX Unplugged next weekend? Please come checkout some of my projects! I'm sharing Campfire Smokeout at the KnightMoves Indie Cafe (Sat/Sun) and Rover Roll Over and other prototypes in the @unpub.bsky.social room (Fri/Sun). Would love to see you! 🙂

Great picks @palanion.bsky.social. GMG in the house!

Thank you. It was my privilege to have served

I love Kids Con New England and the Kids Con NE Maine 2023 each Nov!
And I love sharing Campfire Smokeout, too! Here’s the fun crew from today. Can’t wait for the next one!
And thanks to @DPHGames and @emilydrouin for making it real!

A tale of two Veterans!
My father served during Vietnam. Not too many pictures of his military days.
I followed in his footsteps and proudly served in the same Air Force.
And we both had support of women who served along side, keeping our homefronts strong. Grateful to each!
