This is one of the worst posts I will ever have to share May 6th of this year, my dad was diagnosed with ALS Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.. The devices he’ll need to function day to day and his appointments are expensive. www.gofundme.com/f/help-jimmy...

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Awaken Realms forgot to hide their AI again. They boast how many artists they have on staff then just force them to pump out generative nonsense in the name of efficiency above all else. Yet won't even own up to it when pressed. There's no art in it, just content. Another publisher on my blacklist.

Guess we gotta keep up the sentiment that GenAI sucks so that more companies start to feel it.

Decided to retheme my multivictor game to be about feeding friendly faeries fuji apples and frankfurters.

If you could have one wearable accessory double as a board game, that is playable while worn. Which accessory would you choose? ( necklaces, rings, watches, etc) I'll say for arguments sake rings can go up to 4, and earings can go up to whatever the average is ( I don't know how many is average)

🎲✂️ I created 3 sell sheet templates in Google Slides for anyone to copy and make their own. This is based on providing very similar feedback repeatedly when helping fellow designers improve their sell sheets: bigger images + fewer words + focus on hooks. docs.google.com/presentation...

Hey folks! Did you know I released a new solo game earlier this week?? I'm very proud of it and you should check it out.

Moon Rings is out now! This is a solo journaling game made for the Below a Bad Moon Jam. Venture into the underground labyrinth, find the hidden Moon Rings, and cast a ritual to change the cursed blood moon! Sharing is greatly appreciated! junkfoodgames.itch.io/moon-rings

We have these guides we've written up! For a reader friendly version you can find a PDF here. drive.google.com/file/d/15gyV... This multivictor guide goes into much more detail if you're interested! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I did a small printrun of Vibes, a game about helping art students find a group they vibe with, and I'm looking to see who I ought to send review copies too. I've never sought out reviewers before and I don't want to go on Facebook which is where everyone tells me to go. youtu.be/hbL-UC327rQ 🎲✂️

I've been working on a publishing venture with @coo.games and Maia, specifically for unranked games called Lunarpunk Games! Follow along for game updates, as well as tips, tricks, and insights for making your own unranked games! What are unranked games? Check out this thread.

Pssst! Want to learn all my pitching secrets? 🎲✂️

I wanna see weirder tabletop games that cost more money with "worse" art and fewer compromises for marketability that defy and challenge conventional game design wisdom. It feels like the industry has been trying to min/max making games for commercial success and it's exhausting!

LGBTQA+ friends, the gender you identify as is valid. Your choice in partner(s) is valid. YOU are vaild.

Does anyone have recommendations of folks who can design stl files and 3-d print said designed thing. I need custom rings made for Ring Fighterz ( this is, of course, a paid project).

I'm hosting this year's final @breakmygame.com playtest in the ♦️🎲 DMV: Sat, Dec 21 12-3pm C. Burr Artz Public Library Frederick, MD A library is a great place to get your game played by just regular folx! Sign up or, to play, just show up: www.eventbrite.com/e/break-my-g...

A fantastic starter pack if you're looking for designers to follow in the Bay Area .

We are excited to announce that next year we will be publishing PERSUASION, Xoe Allred's game of courtship, catfishing, and matrimony.

Updated physical prototype for Ring Fighterz. I've changed abilities on the rings and decided I should make the symbols match their effects. I'm also working on a solo mode now and potentially a 4 player mode 👀

Everyone, go make the @ipr.bsky.social booth sell out of Necromancer Heretic (and all the other games there) at PAXU for my birthday

Next digital prototype for Ring Fighterz is ready. There are now 3 games to play in Ring Fighterz. From the first to last image, they get more difficult. The third mode has variable setup and players place their rings secretly as both have been heavily requested. I haven't tested the 3rd one yet.

Oh hello. I've created LISTS, packed with #boardgame humans. Find some new folks to follow! Publishers: bsky.app/profile/more... Designers & Developers: bsky.app/profile/more... Artists: bsky.app/profile/more... Other Industry Roles: bsky.app/profile/more... Press: bsky.app/profile/more...

Puzzle by Number by Joe Kell and @stickydoodler.bsky.social is a fantastic time. I got the dog and the zero, but failed to get the backround( I was super close).

Kublacon was amazing. Met some awesome folks, played a ton of cool games, and received amazing feedback on Ring Fighterz.

Rings for my wearable game Ring Fighterz. These are the only components required to play.

If you're designing a wearable game, I highly recommend avoiding silicon if you plan on gluing anything to it. While affordable and comfortable, it is very hard to glue/bond anything to it and requires special bonding agents.

Treat, Please! Is a fantastic game and you should pick it up

Finally finished making a Wearable Games guide. What are they? Why should you make one? How do you make one? It's all covered below: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Friends, I'm working on some guides and reference materials for folks who want to make wearable board games. I have some stuff planned out. But is there anything you want included or want to know?

breakmygame.com/guidebook Hey all, today we're presenting our first ever tabletop game design journey guidebook! This is intended to help tabletop game designers understand what the full journey of making a game might look like, as well as provide resources and strategies.

Day 7 of covid, I think I'm finally starting to feel better. I'm extremely frustrated as I feel like it wasted an entire week of my life. I had so much planned this week, and I'm behind at work now, too. The lack of socialization is the hardest part.
