Had s good game design 🎲✂️ chat with @enzyshade.bsky.social about how pro-social emotions play into our games and that we try to accentuate them. Here are the notes:

Thank you so much to @danthurot.bsky.social for taking the time to play Keep the Faith! Read the review here: spacebiff.com/2026/01/13/k... #spacebiff #keepthefaithgame #gamereview #newtabletopgames #tabletopgames #cmichpress

Keep the Faith is a hybrid tabletop/roleplaying game by @gregisonthego.bsky.social that explores a religion in transition. As if there were any other kind! My review: spacebiff.com/2026/01/13/k...

Can we take a moment to appreciate the little giraffes in the TTR 10th anniversary red player trains? #boardgames

Again, this was one of my top games of 2025 and an unexpected delight.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

My friend Habeeb made a blogpost a few days ago titled "the default dungeon is colonial", which prompted me to finally finish this blogpost. "Anti-colonial Dungeon" I guess I should finish my Anti-colonial OSR Tabletop RPG adventure/setting/game. afraidofencounters.bearblog.dev/anticolonial...

Hi, I hate doing self promo so I'll just say that this indie board game coverage channel that could is about to hit a milestone of sorts. There is no skeet that can summarize who we are or what we do, but we do cool work and you should check us out. www.youtube.com/@NoPunIncluded

I'm the perfect level of crossfaded where I truly believe all my schemes will work out and my career will continue for at least another 6 months, fingers crossed.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

A real highlight of @qgcon.bsky.social has been @murderveggie.bsky.social talking about proactive community management during (and before!) a crisis, which was a fantastic lesson in social media literacy.

Amabel Holland has designed board games that tackle the struggle to end slavery, women’s suffrage, and the highly personal topic of gender transition, referring to them as “political art.” What can board games say that other art forms can’t?

I’m doing victory laps in my kitchen right now!!!! 💃🏼 CGE just announced they are going to be giving away 100% of the profit from their Harry Potter game to pro-trans charities!! www.instagram.com/p/DNG48n-IVP...

The abbot knew it was a mistake leaving this particular group of reprobates unattended by a senior brother during their chore duty. Still, the two initiates he had assigned to help out assured him they were more than happy to pick up the slack as long as the impromptu jug band got to keep playing

Newest #watercolor #paleoart. Agressive Leptoceratops charges a T.rex with a threat display. This isn’t purely display, however, since a well placed chomp from that beak could do real damage to the much larger carnivore. Small hornless ceratopsians are overlooked too much. 🦖

Heya! I've made a lotta artwork for ROOT the board game projects over the last few years. I think it's about time I share some of it to a social media platform 😆 Here's a special shirt design for an upcoming tournament I'm attending 🙃 #rootgame #rootboardgame #cuteart #boardgameart

Market Reflection: As I pursue making a living out of games, I'm caught in the conundrum of creating a successful booth. Overall I do okay, but compared to others I seem to fall short. Let's chat about 3 things that are hindering me: -Expectation -Direction -Communication 🧵 🎲✂️

What else can you say about Brass Birmingham? We had a great time returning to ‘The Best Board Game In the World’. It remains fantastic and we all scored well over 100, which doesn’t always happen! #boardgamesuk #brassbirmingham #thebest #boardgames #imhavingmyone #imhavingmyonepodcast

Setting up for Geek Meet Indy 2025 tomorrow. No idea how it’s going to go, but Bethany and I will be there promoting our games! 🎲✂️

Today in game design: Every game designer you know, whether they are new, a veteran of the industry, or someone who comes back every so often, has a super cringey setting full of their favorite OCs. ESPECIALLY MEEEE And this is a good thing! On what is known as the Fantasy Heartbreaker: a thread

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.
