Got my copy of my latest game with @japanimegames.bsky.social today! Excited to show it off @breakoutcon.bsky.social in a few weeks! Designed with @senfoonglim.bsky.social

What this does to those of us with even the thickest of skins is pretty traumatic at the best of times. It wears you down and out.

currently trying to play as many unplayed and lesser played board games of mine and broke out the legend of korra pro bending arena by @senfoonglim.bsky.social and @lavendergames.bsky.social incredible dueling game, forgot how good this is. fast, intense, cinematic.

Last push on this one :) A few more hours! Thanks to everyone whose backed and supported, and to everyone who shares (or has shared) links about this one. Proud of both all the asymmetry we put into it, and the work I've done specifically on making that asymmetry shine through in the solo mode.

Presenting the BRAND-NEW season - @dimension20.bsky.social On a Bus! 🚌 DM'd by Katie Marovitch, and as players: Aabria Iyengar, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Jasmine Bhullar, and Mark Mercer!

Did a Q&A today and talked about how Grendel came to be. I've really missed doing promotional stuff for my games 💖 gotta remember that I enjoy podcasts and talking design and development!

Something worth smiling about 💖

It's live!! Really excited for this one. It's been a labour love for a few years and it's finally coming to life -- give it a look if you're into Grendel, asymmetry, and/or very aggressive board games 🔥 www.kickstarter.com/projects/min...

Grendel, being demo'd at Origins 💖 I'm SO excited to see what y'all think of this one

Things I helped make, in the wild!!

This goes for game designers too ✨

Transition is life 💖

@ithayla.bsky.social The propeganda finally worked !! (My amazing girlfriend got it for me for my birthday 🎂) Can't wait to dive in!

It's announced! And soon to be alive!!!! ⚡

Something's happening! 👀 ☺️ (A thing I made is being announced soon!)

I wrote about trans community suicide prevention, including a 4-step guide to peer interventions with links to further resources, for Xtra: xtramagazine.com/health/we-mu...

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Hey y'all, remember when @deuxdel.bsky.social, @airy.bsky.social and I created a fun, powerful trans superhero in GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR? And it was the first time a trans character from the Big Two was a title character? And she had a awesome girlfriend? That was cool.

After almost 5yrs away from academia, the urge to deep dive resurfaces:

🎲✂️ @lavendergames.bsky.social and I have a new game release from @japanimegames.bsky.social and it’s pretty cool that it’s being sold on Crunchyroll! store.crunchyroll.com/products/lup...

Ursula K. LeGuin: "American science fiction has assumed a permanent hierarchy of superiors and inferiors, with rich, ambitious, aggressive males at the top, then a great gap, and then at the bottom the poor, the uneducated, the faceless masses, and all the women."

Please read this by @morganmpage.bsky.social on trans death "Reframing our very real proximity to death as a fit of manipulative hysteria is one way to inure the public to our pain and ultimately make our destruction seem not only possible but necessary."

Currently working on a Bluesky starter pack re: trans & queer (and adjacent) activism and activists in Canada! Let me know if there’s anyone — folks, groups, politicians and journalists — who I should add to this list! go.bsky.app/5AN8t5U

tired of watching cis people discuss trans issues like trans people aren't even in the room

Whenever we make ourselves smaller for them, they just shrink our box again.

Gamers! DriveThruRPG.com put together a package of amazing TTRPG PDFs to raise money for James, the young son of my friend Amber Cook (who passed away last month). It includes a copy of my Brave New World supers RPG, plus many other great games.
