Look at what just arrived from the printer!!! I need to check them, but looking good to ship in early September… which isn’t too far away. 🐙

#Boardgames are a human endeavour. That’s why it’s so important designers make their #games a human experience, not a manufactured one. My upcoming game Halls of Asgard bleeds humanity. Hand-painted art. Social strategy. Semi-cooperative. Robots need not apply. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jos...

My strategy for winning at board games: Play in a way that makes people want to play more games with you 💯 #boardgames #tabletop #ttrpg #strategygames #cardgames #gamedev #indiedev #games

I’ll be playing The White Castle from @devirgames.bsky.social tonight with some friends who haven’t played it yet. Probably my favorite #boardgame of the season. Any other awesome #tabletop games discovered this summer?

HALLS OF ASGARD- ON KICKSTARTER MAY 2026 Take on the role of a NORSE GOD and strive against HELA in this semi-cooperative social strategy game for 3-6 players! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jos...

[1/2] As a board game designer, I hold to the wisdom that the most important component of any game is not dice, cards, art, etc. - it is the players themselves. If they are not a central part of your design, you’ve overlooked a infinitely valuable resource. #tabletop #boardgames #gamedev #indiedev

September looms… and as much as I hate to admit it, I think I’m more contented overall within the revolving rhythm of a schedule. Could be my brain, could be the cadence my creative process, but I’m looking forward to writing pirates and launching a new board game all the same!

Absolutely thrilled to relive the honour of chatting with Chris, Emily, and Kaitlin for this epic chat about Vikings, world building, and - of course - #RansDaughters ⚔️ @outlandent.bsky.social

This week on the Writing Worlds Podcast we'll be chatting with @kaitlinfelix.bsky.social and @joshuagillingham.bsky.social about world building inspired by Vikings and Norse settings. Patreon backers can listen now (here www.patreon.com/AltStories) the episode will be on general release tomorrow

Less than two months before A SWORD OF GOLD AND RUIN is published. The sequel to the 'astonishing' 'Tolkienesque' 'masterpiece' A SWORD OF BRONZE AND ASHES from Flame Tree Press. #books #booksky #fantasy #fantasybooks #mythology #folklore #folkhorror 📖🔥

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

I don’t always go on Twitter, but when I do….

5 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Podcaster&Author @cjadrien.bsky.social writes: "...Offers a fresh and intriguing take on the Viking world through the eyes of a woman determined to make her mark...a bold and thoughtful addition to the Viking historical fiction genre..."

Review from Alex - @blogspells.bsky.social ⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Felix absolutely nails the setting...this is an author with a lot of respect and reverence for the material who has evidently done tons of research in order to make this book feel real. Enthusiasts for the time period will be especially impressed..."

Here's my review of The Fire in the Frost by Lyra Wolf. A thoroughly enjoyable finale to her Norse fantasy series, The Nine Worlds Rising. pagechewing.com/the-fire-in-... #sff #bookreview #norsefantasy #readindie @lyrawolfauthor.bsky.social

My painting TIDAL WETLANDS

Sad to see the series end, but what an epic finale it was! Tune in to the final episode featuring a bear-cavalry charge, miniature black holes, and my character finally managing to climb into and control a large beast—a world worm. “To Folkvangr!”

When you invite the mice to your egg-dyeing party….
