I played a silly game called Guessocracy that surprised me in its tension and made you feel panicked in a good way. A little one note but doesn't overstay its welcome.

CHERRY RUSH, the UFO 50 charity marathon (cherry-ty marathon?), now has a schedule - check out the games, runners, and more! Happening August 29-31. #UFO50

My true weekend challenge: An expensive refillable tumbler.

My greatest achievement of the con: I spent $40 on this tumbler from our hotel. It included free (non alcoholic) refills all weekend. I have just started refill #20, bringing me down to $2/drink.

What a Gen Con! Molly House + John Company are sold out in the US right now, so this year was wild and wonderful. We saw lots of folks and old friends, ran a 50 person John Company journaling TTRPG megagame, and i even played a synthesizer for an Oath puppet show. 10/10 @leder.games

Over #gencon2025 we've been playing a very special Oath chronicle. I've been taking notes throughout and, at the end of each game, have been playing the role of the court chronicler. Tonight (6pm, room 135), at the Chancellor's behest, we will present our true and accurate historie to all assembled.

@marcelineleiman.bsky.social If you have a flyer today, can you save one for me please 🙏🥺?

Time for my favorite gen con event, the Orc Stomp! #gencon2025

Keep me company!

I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGE’s decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.

Oath currently rules my days, but I'm spending my nights on several personal projects that I'm really excited about.

Indeed!

Heyyyyy Mythic Bastionland. Did you pick it up pre or post QQ. I'm a couple sessions deep. It's good!

So much of game design boils down to (i) developing a super clear idea of the game you want to make (ii) having the determination & means to just keep looping through the iteration cycle.

The best games of 2025 so far, picked by NPR's staff From indies like Blue Prince to big console exclusives like Donkey Kong Bananza, NPR staff and contributors round up their favorite games of the year so far.

We're on NPR's best games of 2025! Love seeing Molly House and some great indie projects alongside Death Stranding and Donkey Kong. @miasmacorp.bsky.social @colewehrle.bsky.social

very excited for round two of this. last year truly surpassed my expectations. this year we'll be seeing the scope of what the system can handle. if you'll be at #gencon this year come see how it all comes together.

Dang, this game rips so hard. With about 30 minutes of prep, this game yielded the best roleplaying session I've run in a long time. Kudos to @bastionland.bsky.social for the game and @itsquinns.bsky.social for the lovely review that led me here.

We're at it again! @colewehrle.bsky.social @nbsp1618.bsky.social and I are running the absolutely wild John Company RPG during Gen Con. This time, we'll play The Company Archives as a 25+ player mega game with an 8 ft board and model ships?! It'll be something ➡️ www.gencon.com/events/277585

Oof....

Lol it was like he cut a heel wrestling promo.

Great game!

This was maybe my favorite moment from the con.

Learning, playing, and processing with Arwen made for a truly cathartic and meaningful experience.

Thank you @miasmacorp.bsky.social for making this very special game! ✨

Played Iwari yesterday. Game slaps.
