Many thanks to everyone for chatting with us! @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social Jim Crocker jimlikesgames.itch.io @brianflaherty.bsky.social @moreblueberries.bsky.social @vidityavoleti.bsky.social @sccreatives.bsky.social @stickydoodler.bsky.social @lumpley.bsky.social @theothertracy.bsky.social

I really think everyone in the scene should participate in one page game jam. Get an idea out that you’d never otherwise make, don’t get consumed by scope creep, riff on some untested theory shit, and let your guard down for a minute.

Origins was a smashing success! We sold a bunch of games and got to play even more. It's interesting to note the difference between Origins and cons like PAX U and Gen Con that have a greater creator presence. "Networking" didn't mean bouncing between events, it meant playing games with buds.

I look forward to this jam every year! Thank you so much to @unknowndungeon.itch.io for hosting it! MAKE WEIRD GAMES! itch.io/jam/one-page...

and OBVIOUSLY we played in the It Never Sleeps setting from @moreblueberries.bsky.social and @brianflaherty.bsky.social because why wouldn't we play in 1920s NYC. There was a lot of gambling, brawling, and an over abundance of queer yearning happening at a Tammany Society funeral. games!!!

New Wildsea content is ALWAYS worth checking out! Exploring the homeland of the Tzelicrae (skin sacks filled with spiders!) sounds AWESOME! Plus you can learn more about their bee-themed cousins.

Most people in the industry still don't understand the scale at which the shop operates now. My suppliers get it (they get the orders each week). I'm always debating how much I should talk about it.

I think the way I'll approach this is just to share on what's working and what's not working. The number one tip I have is to learn how to present your games to different audiences, especially people who have never heard of a "TTRPG" or even a "roleplaying game." There's lots of them.

Go back HOW'S MY DRIVING? on Kickstarter!

Soon on Kickstarter! SOURDOWN, a new expansion for the Wildsea 👉 https://f.mtr.cool/rbvmgichqq *A new reach, Sourdown, with new factions and hazards *New background options, with a new bloodline *An adventure of adjustable difficulty *Thematic new ship options

If you’re going to Gen Con be sure to check out this panel!

When I bought my first Dragon, #70, in 1983 it was $3. I can't believe 40+ years later, John is selling the back issues of Wyrd Science for $3.35 at DriveThruRPG. Pick them up before he comes to his senses, because they're awesome.
