The marmot! This is my favorite of the animals included in Cascadia: Alpine Lakes. Their whistles are amazing, and I once had a lovely whistling conversation with one in the mountains out here. Photo: @kovray.bsky.social Publisher: @flatoutgames.bsky.social Art: @bethsobel.bsky.social

We've just announced our latest Postmark Games release: 52 Duels! I'm really happy how this came together; an extremely tense and fun duelling game, only needing a sheet and deck of standard playing cards for each player. Follow on Kickstarter so you know when the project goes live in December!

📣 It’s announcement time! 📣 The pre-launch page for Counterpoint is up on Kickstarter! All the cool kids are saving it! You should too! 🎻🎶 www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

Netanyahu broke the ceasefire & killed 104 Palestinians, including 46 children. Israeli soldiers executed a 9 year old boy in the West Bank as he watched a football game—he's the 1001st person they've killed since 10/7. And corporate media has largely ignored it. www.qasimrashid.com/p/israel-exe...

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

Mamdani, Sanders, AOC, and others are bringing the voters and excitement. The Democratic party is either sitting idly by or actively fighting against them. Why? To maintain their second-hand status & power? The NYC mayoral election is the most important one this year in the fight against fascism.

Flatout Games is at SPIEL, demoing Cascadia: Alpine Lakes Stop by BOOTH 5A700 to see it in action! @flatoutgames.bsky.social

Carcosonne is always a lovely play. Does anyone else ever think how differently they played it when first having a go? Love games like that! #boardgames

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

I have a whole thing about small indie designers/publishers making great games from the heart. I had the chance to play Club Spooky a few weeks ago and was utterly charmed by it. There's tension in the simple auction system that lures club goers to your hall, solid scoring and tableau building...

This year at Indie Games Night Market, along with my new card game Heavenly Bodies, I’m reprinting cloth boards with @printinkling.bsky.social for last year’s game High Tide! Many have asked me to bring this back now that the game has been republished by Underdog Games! 50 copies will be available

I was on the literal radio. I think this is the first time since college, when I was a music DJ for a few years. Fun little show! The host and guest were great. @flatoutgames.bsky.social #CascadiaAlpineLakes

Thank you for the support! Excited I got to back Cascadia: Alpine Lakes on the same day too! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...

Kickstarter Lagniappe -- sneak peeks at crowdfunding projects for CASCADIA ALPINE LAKES and SNOWDONIA GRAND TOUR + SPECIAL EDITION

Some very cool games on crowdfunding launching today! First up is @connor.alwaysawake.games's Club Spooky & That's the Spirit. Connor has a pleasant indie style that I absolutely love. Out of Sorts wowed a lot of people and I expect these to be great as well! www.kickstarter.com/projects/alw...

Cristian Roldan, baby! Glad to see him finally getting another run with the USMNT. He may be the most underrated player in the MLS. The Sounders know his value completely though. #WorldCupSoccer #USMNT #SeattleSounders

Amanda's stream of Cascadia: Alpine Lakes is starting in a about one minute!

Cascadia: Alpine Lakes is a standalone game—some similarities to the base game but the biggest difference is that you can stack up the terrain, and elevation can make a big difference in scoring! geekdad.com/2025/10/kick...

Connor's spooky themed games launched today on KS as well. It's a great pair. I'm partial to Club Spooky myself, but the streamlined social deduction of That's the Spirit is also great.

The Cascadia: Alpine Lakes campaign is live! If you are interested in what the next iteration of Cascadia is like, check out the campaign page. It's a true sequel which ups the stakes. The team has done some fantastic work that I'm excited for everyone to see. @flatoutgames.bsky.social

Here it is in all its glory. 50 copies of Flip Stack Burger Shack ready for the Indie Games Night Market at PAX Unplugged! Let's see if they all fit in the suitcase...

Ashwin & Rob have created a great frenetic game with dice chucking and grabbing! This one is definitely worth checking out.

Hmm, someone should make a board game featuring this landscape.

Today's video was a hard one for me to make - I wanted to talk about my experiences going through burnout in the last year or so as a game designer, and aspects of the wider tabletop industry that contribute to that. youtu.be/D2rC_8F10R8 🎲✂️

I've just contributed to Blacksky. Consider supporting them too — every little helps! opencollective.com/blacksky

I saw a couple of things in the past few days that, in the context of all the bsky mod issues, have been making me think a lot about what I actually want from social media. First, some graphics from that FT articles about peak social media, and then some comments about the sustainability of modding.

A new preview for Cascadia: Alpine Lakes! Check out Dwayne & Alicia's short rundown. Dwayne breaks down the scoring perfectly. Alicia beautifully summarizes the game's complexity compared to Cascadia. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8dY... @blackboardgaming.bsky.social @flatoutgames.bsky.social

This is REALLY worth a read! It avoids getting stuck on some quick surface level problems with AI art and gets to the heart of things. theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

There's a new The Oatmeal about AI art, which gets at the thing that ends up bothering me the most about AI art, which is that art that isn't the product of human creativity has no meaning or import. theoatmeal.com/comics/ai_art

This is the cover for my IGNM release - Fold & Fly! 🌈🛫 Syd Weiler did the illustrations for the game, and they totally nailed the vibe I was aiming for! Plus I am always excited to have vibrant colors accompanying my games. Let me know what you think!
