My wife makes a cake for the last day of school each year. This time our 12yo had special decorating ideas…

My kids finished kindergarten and 6th grade today. My other baby went live on Kickstarter Much love to everyone who supported this nasty child along the way

My mom forbid me from watching Dumb & Dumber because of this scene Now it is the central mechanism of The Monolith Coincidence?

Bombastic is like candy in all the best ways. @robhovak.bsky.social is really flexing his range here.

I’m just a boy Who loves trick taking games Reminding you Again Counterpoint is superb www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

Come say hi at the @dvcgames.bsky.social booth! 1812

I am so happy with the art for this game. Every card tells a story.

Top five trick taker right here, can’t wait to own it again. I got to see the final art, it’s glorious

Bustin out an old classic before helping at the @dvcgames.bsky.social booth at Origins

Really enjoyed Dead Channels by @dnlnwmn.bsky.social We decided the physically uncomfortable splaying mechanism reinforces the feeling of horror

Omg hype

I’m still disappointed the local karaoke bar doesn’t have any Pavement

Kickin it old school today After hundreds of in-person plays And thousands online Still slaps

I’m doing an AMA in an hour. If you like acronyms over your lunch break, check it out

Turxx was the first piece of Monolith art I saw. This still slaps so hard. Some musings: John Blanche’s 40K art was a touchstone for me in thinking about this design. His absurd and nasty depiction of power (especially the ‘good guys’) was key to 40k working as satire.

Can’t wait to get my grubby hands on em Gonna paint a whole set in celebration

My parents found this old record and had it digitized. I can recognize my grandfather’s baritone and his Connecticut cadence. I can hear his stoic belief in the power of hard work.

Almost time to talk about the game I’m gonna publish

I weeded a dandelion

My buddy Tom made castanets for us for our Queens Dilemma characters bc we pretend to be scorpions with claws when the evil Sun Kingdom is mentioned

Working on a new story game. There are three roles: lawyer, waitstaff, or president. It’s called Barrister Barista Barack

Can confirm Another DVC banger

I’m really happy @dvcgames.bsky.social and I put out Medusa’s Garden at IGNM. Great experience. Can’t wait to see the oddities people bring this year.

After every iteration… “Maybe this will be the one…”

Say hello to my little brand

If anyone is looking to move, we test twice weekly in Syracuse.

Listen: Counterpoint is superb. I am looking forward to this even more than LOTRTROTKTTTG Please support Ted and his musical baby!

My favorite game for many years was Battlestar Galactica. My 11yo daughter’s favorite game is now Cozy Stickerville. We finished tonight. It was a truly impactful bonding experience for us. Thank you, @psycorey.bsky.social

Hey friends Please meet my big nasty baby 🥰 I’m honored to work with PHG on this. Happy Friday!

In the last week I started an LLC and tonight I signed my first game somebody pinch me

Wilmot’s Warehouse, Hot Streak & Cozy Stickerville all got love from Spiel Three essential victorless hybrid story boardgames Yum

@jmstar.bsky.social Desperation is great, brilliant design, heavy as promised

If you’re a writer, write “I waited” without saying it. The trains arrived and left, arrived and left. If she was on board, she never got off.

Playing Tower Up immediately after Ingenious, it’s fascinating how their game maths rhyme

Lub dub

Looking through my collection

I am a pro gamer

@tonytran.bsky.social made a sweet lil flower game, y’all. Backed. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

First time playing Soothsayers by @jeffgrisenthwaite.bsky.social Very cool game. Great combos and follow system

The secret trick is that Yellow Ledbetter’s lyrics are as equally haunted and dreamlike as the performance.

Don’t mind if I do

@drawnonward.bsky.social you asked for more prototype pics and handsome capybaras right?

The thing I miss most about writing novels is emotional depth and nuance. Writing and game design 🎲✂️ are both emotionally demanding art forms. But game design is all about systems and doesn’t often allow for exploration of more than one or two emotions at a time. 1/2

My wife lets our 11yo use her phone occasionally. Recently she found this query in her google history: “Is Phil Gross a famous board game designer?” 😂

This Gollum is a prick @bbornmueller.bsky.social

If you haven’t read Delvers yet, you are in for a treat.

Supporting my FLGS and my GDB (game design buddy) @roscoschock.bsky.social

Inkwell is so pretty
