@campaignspotlight.bsky.social chatted with us at Dragonflight a few weeks ago! Check out their podcast version of the merchant hall at the con: share.transistor.fm/s/750eca69#t...

Another great Game Market West! www.gamemarketwest.com/fall-2025-re... As always, the game community is the best part of these indie markets. Thanks to everyone that brings enthusiasm, energy, and joy to the space.

When life is busy, it’s nice to recognize some small incremental progress. Earlier this week I finally got Counterpoint up onto BGG and I’d say it looks pretty good there. 😍🎻 Lots more testing needed, so if you love trick takers and playtesting online, DM me! ✂️🎲 boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/45...

Game Market West is this Sunday, September 21 at Guildhouse in San Jose! It's a tabletop game market where indie designers show off and sell their newest board/card games. RSVP: luma.com/6khylmfu #boardgames

I highly recommend this! It was great for us last year to get to show off our games to so many lovely folks at PAX Unplugged.

@distantworlds.bsky.social is closing this Sunday—I got a “The Last Unicorn” in their honor. If you are in Seattle give them a final hurrah! I demo’d PNW here when the first Kickstarter was running. A good place.

Find yourself someone who is as excited about you as @fanfactories.bsky.social is about the PNW Tabletop Game Market at PAX West this weekend

GMW Fall 2025 Countdown - PNW: Card Games Inspired by the Pacific Northwest by Thomas Cardwell It's a fully illustrated book of six new card games featuring modern mechanics such as deck building, drafting, and worker placement. #boardgames @tomcardgames.bsky.social

There will be hot dogs 👏 There will be ghosts 👏 There will be indie storytelling games 👏 check it out!

PNW book and cards as in this SU&SD preview! They talk about Trail, the drafting game of the bunch, and briefly opine lupine (they talk about our seawolf card—awoo).

oh my god hi i'm finally here?? hi. what is bluesky. i am an SFF writer in the PNW whose work has showcased distinctive character voice, post-cyberpunk and space opera influence, and slightly unhinged women who are annoying 😌😘 highlights include:

While I’m game-posting look at this beauty that showed up this morning from @tomcardgames.bsky.social (PSA if you are a designer/creator and you wear a Mariners hat in your promotional material I will support you)

At present time of posting this, I am helping push #BlacklistCGE to share resources and information, disrupt spaces, and engage in serious conversations about boycotting game publishers that make anti-trans decisions. Want to learn more about it? I’ve made an informational zine you can access here:

Classic Texas:

When you want to play but only understood half of the rules. #boardgames

Hearing my wife randomly spout six digits from the other room and wondering what horror movie I stumbled into before realizing it’s a two-factor authentication code.

I really wanted to personally make something to include in the Kickstarter campaign, and I continue to be pleased with our game pieces (featuring @thecreepingmoon.bsky.social ’s illustrations)!

So excited to be in the Bay Area showcasing these games! 🃏 Shoutout to the incredible illustrator for PNW, @thecreepingmoon.bsky.social Photos above are by the amazing Megan Shinner.

Come say hi if you’re in the Bay Mar 23rd! (And check out all these these games!)

I’ll be there! Join me for a west-coast indie game market in the Bay.

I met Jennifer (the author of this article) at OrcaCon and she gave me a delightful history lesson about bridge and other card games in the black community. Happy Black History Month!

I’m grateful for time at the gaming table with you, Arwen!

USAians - just a reminder that Resistbot is still around (I used them all the time during the first administration) and is a really easy way to contact your reps. Write a letter via text to your elected officials and it’ll send as an email, fax or letter.

Sneak peek - I’m bringing back enamel mugs! I’ll have these available in a couple months 🥹

One of my OrcaCon highlights was @bethsobel.bsky.social stopping by our booth, gifting us some lovely pins and cards, and picking up one of our books! Kelly and I were both a little starstruck, but thanks for finding us in the merchant hall—we love the River and Stone deck!

Token time: my personal manufacturing for the Kickstarter begins.

Two hours left on our Kickstarter featuring illustrations by @thecreepingmoon.bsky.social ! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

“Great British Bake Off meets Our Flag Means Death” I had a great time demoing Pirates of the High Teas by @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social today! Excited for this one! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pin...

We’ll be running our first booth at OrcaCon this weekend (for the last three days of our Kickstarter 🎉)! Hope to see y’all there!

Found on my walk: AI-generated Pixar lamp irl.

More pics of the cards because Megan did a great job on them!

I’m honored you like them, Randy! I didn’t expect to sign up for bluesky and get a shoutout from you as the first thing I saw—thank you! ❤️

Just launched on Kickstarter! Earlier this year I was commissioned to draw a Pacific Northwest themed playing card deck by Thomas Cardwell of Games Well, and you can back it now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...
