I'm a huge fan of the ALIEN Fate of the Nostromo boardgame by @scottrogers.bsky.social and released by @ravensburgertcg.bsky.social. it's full of tension and can get really exciting - we've only beaten it once. The minis are really cool, too. I'd love to see Ash and Kane minis to complete the crew.

Taylor’s Fold and Fly is a charming game about folding and flying paper airplanes! You can buy it NOW at PAXU’s indie night games market!

New episode! 🎙️ @scottrogers.bsky.social joins me to talk about prototyping as a tool for creativity, clarity, and pitching across board games, video games, and more. Listen: bit.ly/4oHJ6p0 #GamePrototyping #BoardGameDesign #ScottRogers #TheCornerOfStoryAndGamePodcast #BuildPlayIterate

@astragoblin.bsky.social Hey Ken! I hope all is well. Are you working somewhere these days? I have a lead on a gig I think you’d be a great fit for.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social You’ve said your favorite DC character who hasn’t made it to live-action is Bat-Mite (a great character!) who is your second choice? Mine is Killer Moth.

A great boardgame, designed by @scottrogers.bsky.social released by @ravensburgertcg.bsky.social. ALIEN Fate of the Nostromo is tense, quick, a lot of fun and the miniatures are fantastic. I had to get this of course, and it's a great part of my collection. I'd love to see one like this for ALIENS.

Someone else has a birthday today?

@blankcheck.bsky.social great episode on RotLA but one thing has always annoyed me about Last Crusade, is that Marcus Brody IS Indy but older and settled down. In his day, he would have been right there in the mix. @brianmichaelbendis.bsky.social

Some Pac-Man trivia for today: In an interview with yours truly, Pac-Man World designer Scott Rogers explained how Orson came to be, bringing up some pretty neat (or horrifying, depending on how you look at it) lore bits that are never addressed in the game.

Level Up! The Guide to Great Video Game Design by Scott Rogers One of my favorite game dev books. I end up rereading like every year and also find things more relevant to whatever I'm working on. amzn.to/4gekY8I

For your collection of definitions of games. Scott Rogers in this episode says -a set of rules -game play -a victory condition Fun to hear that voice again as I started listening during Gill/Emma/Scott ludology.

I’m very proud that people love this game.

Scott Rogers did a great GDC talk about this from a level design perspective… 15 years ago… goddamn I’m old… gdcvault.com/play/1305/Ev...
