It's fantastic to see your dice roguelike finally go public! I really enjoyed playtesting it. The core dice and spatial puzzle is super engaging, and the tone and setting are very charming. I've never been more excited to fight a skeleton pianist or organize an upsurd number of socks.

The Growing Bay Area Industry that tariffs may kill

I spoke to several board game creators and retailers here in the Bay Area of California about the impact of tariffs. It's grim news for hobby games. www.solisgamestudio.com/blog/the-gro...

Game Market West is San Jose, CA today was a big success! 25+ independent designers selling around 40 unique creative games. Approx. 380 attendees.

I had a lot of fun helping a bit behind the scenes and on site with some great volunteers.

I had a fantastic time at Dice Tower West!

I worked at the Randy O Games booth selling Gun It and Roll in One, got to say hello to my far away friends and clients, and enjoyed a bit of playtesting and gaming too. The Dice Tower live show of Top 10 Board Game Wishes was hilarious.

Awesome! I remember you showing me an early version of the chess roguelike and talking about Duskers sequel way back, it's amazing to see the progress they've made.

Last weekend was DunDraCon 48's Protospiel in Santa Clara, CA. I had a blast co-running the room with my amazing team of volunteers through Golden Gate Gamemakers. We had a peak attendance of 58 in the room at once and gave out about 50 prizes to playtesters over 4 awesome days.

ANNOUNCEMENT: 2025 games are now available! I'm so proud of the designers and their hard work to make these games come to life.
