Today is the fifth day of Best Week! Did you know that 2025 contained an unusually high number of games about human relationships? An unusually high number of *good* games about human relationships? Now you do! Read about them here: spacebiff.com/2025/12/29/b...

(1/5) #RedUmbrellaDay, or the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, is one of the most important days in the sex working calendar.

HORSES!! I loved this extremely dark and controversial game, and I made a whole dang video on why: youtu.be/0uu4v7vI638

7p Persuasion is so chaotic. In a good way!

Howdy all you new peeps! If you're curious about Conviction, you can find it here: www.lunarpunk.games/conviction You should also follow @lunarpunk.games , since that's my latest vessel for talking shop on games, breaking down their hierarchies, and publishing weird indie stuff.

This was a really fascinating explanation of a line I was playfully indignant about. Only Dan can get away with calling my work cis and yet still make me feel understood.

been talking to my friends about these games a lot, really love this article highlighting their perspectives. i hope ttrpg people are paying attention to what @xoe.gay is doing, because it's about to steal our lunch money and leave us in the dirt

Happy Birthday! Now all the games I was gushing about last week on our Dialogue at Dusk are on sale!

If your socks are empty this morning, don’t worry, I got you (and lots of Woodfired cups) www.crwnstudios.com/products/10-...

We spoke with @junkfoodgames.bsky.social about melding elements of board games and TTRPGs, creating play without an exact destination, and how to use victorless conditions to break boundaries within game design. You can watch the full video here! 🎲✂️

💚🖤🤍 Aro Pride Dragon~

This is tonight! Hope to see you there. 🌙

I'm excited to chat with Xoe and Matt on Wednesday night! Join us over on discord!

i'm soooo~ aroace *blushes*

Finally sharing my sizzle reel! If you're in need of video production work (or pretty much anything creative), hit me up, esp. at #PAXU! I don't ask for this much, but if you're in the #boardgames industry and like what I do, consider sharing this! I'm looking to book up 2026! linktr.ee/jcw.gay

It's another relationship game so you can find out how toxic your Persuasion marriage ended up being. 😆

Community isn’t something you show up to consume. It requires you to contribute, collaborate, and commit-create. If you want community, you have to be community. #craftivism

Got bit by a spider is this normal?

I have been pretty open with everyone I've chatted with at PAXU that 2025 has been a crap year for creativity. (To those of you who received this: I'm sorry) So I was even more frugal than usual this year. Nonetheless, I found my spark of joy at the Indie Games Night Market, where my magpie 1/▶️

Hell yeah can't wait to see y'all there!

What an amazing sneak peek at the Indie Game Night Market games! There's also a preview of Conviction if you're curious!

It's finally here!! Also this is a great thread for reading about Hollandspiel's latest releases!

Goofy pic, but man this has been fun~ #tomorrownight~ @vawcer.bsky.social @aveknots.bsky.social @marcelineleiman.bsky.social @macaroobanzai.bsky.social @xoe.gay @ericdittmore.bsky.social @cardboardedison.com @tedmannschaller.bsky.social @chrisinhm.bsky.social & so many more I don’t have room~

Persuasion is a really special game to me. It's the design I've been thinking about the longest, before I got married, divorced, and several names ago. I've been wanting to see a game that captured even just a fraction of the drama I see in Jane Austen's work.

ARE YA READY FOR PERSUASION ERRYBODY!?!?? Also grab Westphalia, the last remaining single digit copies are for sale like whoa

I know some people were waiting to make sure others were able to get their games before ordering theirs, and now is your time.

Hand drawing all these beans was a blast. Honestly surprised people have been enjoying my artwork. Never really considered myself capable of doing such a thing before, but Joe posed the idea to me and I thought it could be my wheelhouse to draw a bunch of stinky cartoony beans. 😆

24 Hours remain! Don't miss your chance to catch these unique experiences! Games of harsh votes and reluctant concessions. Divisions and misdirection. Flashy duels of action, resource, & goal management. Introspective hunts for evils among friends. Silly competitions of pushing your luck and toots.

2 days left to shop indie games in Lunarpunk’s pop-up online market! The 2025 lineup: 🫘 Tootin’ & Hollerin’ 🎆 Pyrotechnics 🦆 Duck, Duck, Choose + What Does My Rival Desire? 💌 What if I’m the Devil? Only 50 copies available for each, and they’re going fast! 🎲✂️

Duck Duck Choose is special to me because it concisely captures the push/pull, give/take, conflict/collaborate dichotomy of multivictor games. It can be really abrasive among some groups, yet it challenges those same abrasive people to see the world beyond a dog-eat-dog lens to even engage with it.

The Midnight Market by @lunarpunk.games is now open and you can buy some awesome indie games! Check the comments for an outline of each game available. #boardgames #indie

We got such an awesome collection of games. Three of which are unranked! Now's your chance to give em a whirl!

A little under 3 hours until the Midnight Market opens. It's a waning gibbous moon tonight, which means the games offered will be especially spectacular.

Hey, everybody! Twelve hours from now marks the launch of @lunarpunk.games's Midnight Market where you can pick up a limited run of five (six?) #boardgames by indie creators! I mention it because Pyrotechnics will be available, alongside some other GREAT games! Check it out! 11:59 p.m EST!

It's almost time lil guy

HELL YEAH THIS GANE IS AWESOME!!!!!!

October Vlog - I share lessons learned from assembling a small print runs for upcoming indie markets. - The Midnight Market games become available *this weekend*! www.lunarpunk.games/midnightmarket - Unranked Highlight: Thieves Dilemma by Zach Sockol. youtu.be/72RlygLm11g

What If I'm the Devil? by Jamie Sabriel is a tense, unsettling social deduction game where you and your community must plumb the depths of darkness to eliminate the Devil while it corrupts and forces your community to do its bidding. It's our 4th Midnight Market game, available this weekend.

Happy KPop Demon Hunters day

Pyrotechnics, designed by Michael Sprague and published by @thinkdeepplaylight.bsky.social, will be available at the Midnight Market! It's a two-player card duel that fits right in your pocket and plays in ten-minute bursts. 🎆🎆🎆 Snag it November 7th at www.lunarpunk.games/midnight-mar...

I’m thrilled to share we have a special video going through *every* game at the 2025 Indie Games Night Market (at PaxU)! We’re working with @dnlnwmn.bsky.social, some awesome designers, playing some games, all to give you a thorough set of previews & reviews to see the games you won’t want to miss~

It's been oddly satisfying assembling these! I've got a little personal assembly line for them in my room.

We had a great chat with Ben Hammer, creator of We All Take From the River, on how to model coexistence and nature in games, as well as using multivictor framework to help capture those themes. You can watch it here! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCw_...
