So proud of my baby!

Is more always better, or do you prefer less? OFPG FAM! We're tackling 2 things we see people have with certain #boardgames-- sometimes, people love expansions to games and what it may add, and other times people think games are better off without! WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tzB...

So proud of my baby!

Now that I've got the Ghost Party Bundle games, figured it was time for a new family photo! And now that all the KS orders have shipped, I've put the games up for preorder (shipping in April) on my spruced up store front (www.alwaysawake.games) Check it out!

We're looking forward to seeing this historic bill signed into law!

The world is upside down and I need to know how far in advance you wanna hear about games I’m making (not running kickstarters this year! 😳) tell me tell me when you want to know the details? Do you like a surprise? Do I tease it out? (Is this teasing right now??) I don’t know!!

Plant-based tank? Or tank-based plant?

🐉 TONIGHT! A new episode of Very Important People launches on Dropout at 7PM ET / 4PM PT. Join Vic Michaelis and Lil Huffy (Frankie Quiñones) for an important convo on being viral.

It has begun, the #WALeg House has begun debate on the Millionaires Tax! This is the final vote in the House, and once it passes here (and the Senate concurs in any changes), then it's on to @governorferguson.bsky.social's desk to become law!

The WA Millionaires Tax is hitting the House floor! tvw.org/video/house-...

FINAL CALL: Lawmakers could vote on the Millionaires Tax any day now. Let's do one last round of calls into their offices to show them that Washington wants to fund the programs we rely on. Take action here ⬇️ https://investwanow.org/call-lawmakers-pass-millionaires-tax

Welp, Print & Play is closing... I’ll post more about it soon, but for now, holler if you have any hot, new job gossip! (I’ve worked full-time in the tabletop industry for 6 years and sure do hope to keep it that way 💁‍♂️.)

THRILLED to announce I just started a new job as a Senior Game Designer working on the Trading Card Game team for Fanatics Collectibles! 🤩 Not much to report yet, and most of the work going forward will be under NDA, but I'll be sure to share more details when I can.

When ICE agents are working, we have a right to film them in public. Period.

Updated jersey feels good.

Minx is so good. Just started watching and I can’t stop.

Tomorrow the House Finance Committee will vote on the Millionaires Tax. I’m excited to take this step forward. For the next hour I’ll be monitoring this channel and happy to answer questions. #AskWaleg

Last year, the dangerous pattern of neglect and abuse at ICE detention facilities resulted in a record number of deaths. This can't go on. Our members of Congress must act now.

It does feel a little too committed to using musical terminology for game terms, that muddies the water a little, like how every cyber-punk card game needs to re-invent the term 'deck'. I'm yet to see anything that truly synthesizes the themes and mechanics beyond lip service.

The pro-AI, anti-game-designer nonsense Suz is quoting below is on LinkedIn, in the comments on a post by the SAME PERSON about how AI told him to *walk* to the car wash. (The cognitive dissonance is killing me!) Here's what I replied over there:

Reposting with ALT because this kind of phenomenal disdain and disrespect from within the industry literally against two of their own titles and the designer who made them is important to recognize.

How cute is this?! ❤️❤️

The Trump administration is trying to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide. Send a message to the Trump administration and tell them: Hands off our health care.

We're in court this week challenging a New Hampshire law that forces people to provide documents like a birth certificate or passport in order to register to vote. This unnecessary restriction makes it harder for thousands of citizens to exercise our right to vote.

In case you somehow missed it. Best. Halftime. Show. Ever! And Prince set the bar pretty damn high in 2007.

FUCK. YEAH.

The late Shirley Raines poured herself into bringing compassion to unhoused communities in California and Nevada, giving hygiene products and food to as many people as possible day after day. She showed millions the difference one can make by providing a neighbor with a meal, a makeover, and care.
