My life now I guess

Oh hey, I was on a board game podcast talking about my one of my games about community resilience and collective action. Incredibly exciting to talk about two of my favorite things!

My good Judy @kince.bsky.social spoke with QueertyGamers yesterday about building queer gaming communities. @seattlegaymers.bsky.social has become a family for me here in Seattle. These groups are so important! 💛 www.twitch.tv/videos/27958...

Just did a photoshoot swap for Out of Sorts 2e and I think I got some good ones. Shoutout to @tedmannschaller.bsky.social and Becky Young for being great models (and Becky for organising)!

Yes, it was an incredible honor to be featured on the @boardgamegeek.com Podcast, but it was even more fun just to chat with my friend @panda8ngel.bsky.social about some of my favorite food-themed games and color vision accessibility! Check it out here: boardgamegeek.com/blog/12153/b...

In case you missed it, check out our review of Counterpoint! You don’t want to let this one pass you by~ Now on Kickstarter! youtu.be/KPYIZg6QlOQ?...

Do you love classical music?! Me too! 🎻 Do you love card games?! Me too! ♣️ Do you love cute animals?! Me too! 🐷 Wow! Look at everything we have in common! 💖 Counterpoint is live on Kickstarter right now. Go back it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

A game after our own hearts. Check it out! Absolutely!

Easy snap buy. Not only do I love Mondrian AND art in gaming, but @roscoschock.bsky.social is pretty cool too! Excited for this one! 🎨

You can now pre-order FlipDraw: Mondrian for only $15 as part of the Concrete Canvas Backerkit! concrete-canvas.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Big thanks to Jason and @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social for having me on Building the Game Podcast this week to talk about Art as theme in tabletop games. I'm super passionate about this topic, and excited for folks to check it out: www.buildingthegamepodcast.com/episode-731-...

The application to be a vendor at the Indie Games Night Market at PAX Unplugged in December is now live! www.newmillindustries.com/ignm-app

In my humble opinion, the indie market scene is the most exciting thing happening in the board game space right now. Come join the movement to make small batch games that can be as weird and special as you can imagine!

Episode 3 of BATS is here! Join @tricktaking.bsky.social & I as we fall down the rabbit hole of design deconstruction, dominoes, theme in games, and the importance of just having fun~ Available wherever you get your Podcasts, today~ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

If you love tricktaking games, don’t miss out on Counterpoint! Check out our review here: youtu.be/KPYIZg6QlOQ?...

So close to same day funding! Check out Counterpoint on Kickstarter and back, back, back! (Sorry, I’ve been reading a bunch of #DCC recently!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

Thanks for your support both in playtesting AND in backing!! 💛🎻🎶

See this lil beauty? They need a name! And I want you to help me come up with the perfect name. 😍 Back Counterpoint on Kickstarter today to help me come up with the perfect name for this perfect lil pianist! 🎹 www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

Counterpoint is a cooperative trick-taking game from @tedmannschaller.bsky.social about playing chamber music—clever and challenging! geekdad.com/2026/05/kick...

A musical trick taker? Yes please!

This looks really neat, super easy back for me!

Shoutout and thanks to @jonathanhliu.bsky.social for the awesome write up on GeekDad. I really love how you were able to relate back to your childhood playing music. This is exactly the type of feeling I wanted to bring to folks! 💛🎻🎶 geekdad.com/2026/05/kick...

We had a chance to check this out at TCTC (though sadly not enough time to play it) and it's clear so much love has gone into the details and clever touches of thematic implementation

This has literally (Go ask @peppermintfox.bsky.social if you don't believe me) been in my go bag for game nights ever since I got it. I like cooperative trick taking, and I absolutely love this.

AHHH, Phil! I'm totally blushing! 🙈 I'm definitely looking forward to LOTRTROTKTTTG cause @bbornmueller.bsky.social always brings it! In this world we deserve BOTH adorable classical music animals and adventuring little hobbits in our trick-taking! 💛

Lovely words from the wonderful Kovray! youtu.be/9AsHoBGmVWg?...

Ted's KS is live now! This is a wonderful cooperative trick taker. I've played a couple times, and it's very well executed and the thematic ties are very apt.

The kickstarter is now live! Go back it!

Counterpoint is live on Kickstarter! 2 years ago I had a silly idea to mix two of my favorite things (classical music and games) and here we are after countless hours of prototyping, testing, simplifying, and reworking. Excited to hear your music! 💛🎻🎶 www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

Check out our review of @tedmannschaller.bsky.social’s Counterpoint! #cardgames #tricktaking #counterpoint youtu.be/KPYIZg6QlOQ?...

got to play it this evening and would absolutely recommend it 🥰 support my friend and his excellent game!

We're heading to UKGE this year! Just a few days until we visit Birmingham for the first time. youtu.be/eeYkeExY6jU

Big thanks to @tricktaking.bsky.social for his kind words about Counterpoint today. Check it out: youtu.be/e7Jb2yC-bqk?... Launching on kickstarter this coming Tuesday! www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

My friend Ace made this Instagram video and offered lovely sentiment: "What I love about the game is not just the amazing illustrations and artwork, but the clever integration of classical aspects in a way that has you communicating with your fellow players."
