I loved going through Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective with my friends/family. Really depends on if you’re in the mood for cooperatively playing through a choose your own adventure book

Your video on Control convinced me to play it, and I loved it so much I went and dove back through the rest of Remedy’s catalogue, but I haven’t finished Alan Wake 2 yet. Now I really need to prioritize it!

+1 for chrysanthemum. It has such a unique earthy flavor

The things we do and do not say Notes on the impossibility of talking online and rise of disinterpretation.

Definitely. I found this essay on this subject revelatory when it came out. While it’s essentially a longer version of what you’ve written concisely, the term β€œdisinterpretation” is such a useful word for this online behavior

I’m incredibly grateful to the employees at Kickstarter for creating and maintaining a platform that has allowed so many great games (including Overgrown!) to exist.

It’s always disappointing to hear when a company starts taking its employees for granted.

Table the Game just posted a wonderful preview of Overgrown! It's awesome to hear that someone's favorite aspects of your game are exactly the things you're most proud of πŸ’š

There was half a decade of my life where I rewatched this show every year. I absolutely love Mandy Patinkin in it

Thanks for all the playtesting feedback over this long journey! Also thanks for the reminder that I should have included the Kickstarter link in my original post πŸ˜‚

🌿Overgrown🌿 is LIVE and already funded! Not only that, but we've hit our first stretch goal! I couldn't be happier with the response we've seen so far and I can't wait to get Overgrown into people's hands πŸŽ‰

I managed to get our group together for a session of 7th Citadel. At this rate we'll finish in 2035, which is a shame because I end every session freshly impressed with how good of a storytelling game it is, and how well it incorporates the exploration and survival mechanics into the narrative 😲

Apple seems to have largely moved away from lashing out at their competitors in their advertising. So seeing this UI artifact of a windows machine being represented by a blue-screening breadbox was almost nostalgic πŸ˜‚

Extremely disappointed in CGE for this. Galaxy Trucker is one of the games that got me into modern board games.

Also, these brand-centered editions of party games are always terrible and you should not buy them even when they aren’t funneling money directly to a one woman anti-trans Super PAC.

Went on a trip to Yellowstone and couldn’t resist taking a few pics of 🌿Overgrown🌿 next to some of the landmarks. Now it’s time to hunker down and get ready for launch!

Got the preview copies of 🌿Overgrown🌿 from @pandagm.com! I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out and can’t wait to start sending them to folks to preview.

Be sure the follow us on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/goo...

Things are good! (notwithstanding America’s fascination with touching the 3rd rail)

We just received preview copies from our manufacturer that we’ll be sending out soon. I’ve been meaning to post some unboxing pics; I’m stoked about how it turned out.

Hope you’re doing well too.

I suppose top teeth is what I’m used to.

I’m not a huge lettuce wrap fan, but that’s mostly because I’ve never had one that wasn’t a huge mess

I didn’t know I had an opinion on this until now, but imagining my bottom teeth coming into contact with the lettuce before the patty just feels wrong πŸ˜‚

You ever launch a board game on Kickstarter to loosely justify finally learning Blender? ... That would be crazy πŸ˜…

Anyway, follow the Kickstarter for 🌿Overgrown🌿!

Hey, tabletop folk. I know lots of you struggle with self-promotion, so let me help!

Are you working on something cool?
Do you provide services?
Created a good video/podcast/article?
Taken an ace photo?
Run an event?

Post below, and let's get a self-promotion mega thread going!

We're launching our first game on Kickstarter later this year! It's a competitive spatial puzzle game with a verdant apocalypse setting.

I am very slowly learning to self-promote more πŸ˜…

Our first video for 🌿Overgrown🌿 is complete! We figured we’d start with a short and sweet overview before getting to the longer videos.

I’m happy with the way it turned out, but definitely want to keep improving as we work our way towards the Kickstarter campaign video!
