Canadian friends, I have a not-for-profit client in search of a graphic designer who is familiar with board games for a small project. Please reach out to me if you know someone who may be interested! Bonus points for anyone in the Edmonton area:)

Hey YEG! Check out this event at Hexagon next Thursday, June 19. You can meet the delightful @elizhargrave.bsky.social, get excited about this film, maybe even play a few games😊😊

Went to the museum with @robertataylor.bsky.social and OH BOY I am loving the game we're cooking up for the Maple Jam!

Watch this beautiful visualization of bird migration! Birds are such welcome signs of spring!

Last month we attended #TokenCon here in OKC and Will was on a panel with @robertataylor.bsky.social discussing colonization and inclusivity in games. The video for that is finally up thanks to our friends @drayerink.bsky.social and we wanted to share. youtu.be/wX4YSdxkcJU?...

Delighted to discover a local crossword puzzle creator. Loving the YEG specific easter eggs in these! www.yegwords.com

My partner was laid off from her job of 17 years because it was primarily USAID funded. So, starting today, I am offering all of my solo titles, a $185 value for $39.95 The bundle sale will continue until she or I find something to replace her salary. #ttrpg #dnd www.dmsguild.com/product/5122...

Celebrating Exploring Wahkohtowin's award with the team! This game about Treaty 6 history is really special ❤️

Yay!! Vineyard: A Winemaking Game has funded!! I am so very excited for folks to play this unique game- I think it's very special.

It's live! Please take a look at Vineyard, it might be your next favourite game! www.kickstarter.com/projects/eba...

I am so excited for this very cozy game! If you love books and board games, check out A Place for all My Books on KS :)

Here's the little game I helped make last weekend at the Global Game Jam. I made many of the sfx, in case you're curious, and the amazing Catherine Bevan did the programming.

Delighted to learn that Edmonton has so many board game cafes and shops! Now, to visit them all :D #yeg

This was a really fun designer diary to write, although remembering back 4 years to the beginning of the project was a bit of a test! 🎲✂️

Some very kinds words from Thinker Themer about Vineyard: A Winemaking Game! I'm so excited for folks to play this game- watch for the KS soon!

Just signed up for my first game jam😊 I'm curious to see what will happen when an analogue designer joins a predominantly digital game jam. I'm excited to learn some new skills, that's for sure! 🎲✂️

This lovely review of Hello Kitty Day at the Park flew under my radar until today! So thrilled to have the Dice Tower Seal of Approval on this fun project:)

This quick review of Cafe Baras is adorable and so very kind!

So very proud to see my game included in ThinkerThemer's list alongside some other amazing titles:)

Lovely article about Exploring wâhkôhtowin in Taproot Edmonton this morning :)

A winter comic for fellow board gamers out there. ❄️ #Boardgaming Have added to my #Uplift feed at: bsky.app/profile/debb...

'Barry and I are at PaxU and he found some new friends already! Come see us at the KTBG booth this weekend!

'Barry and I are excited to get on the road! We're headed for PaxU bright and early tomorrow morning 😊 If you're going, be sure to stop by the KTBG booth and say hi!

Exploring Wâhkôhtowin, a board game that I worked on about the history of treaty in AB, has been awarded the Intercultural Innovation Hub Award, chosen from over 1,800 global applicants. This award is an initiative by the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), BMW Group, and Accenture.

Question for my RPG folks- what part of roleplaying games do you observe new players struggling with the most often?

Using blank dice for a prototype. Any suggestions for markers that won't wear off as quickly as my off-brand permanent pens? 🎲✂️

Friends, I'm so excited about this game. Pencil First is such an amazing company to be working with; the care and attention to detail on this project have been immense. Sign up to be notified on launch if you're curious :)

Hey Edmonton Gamers! Join us for World Builders #YEG this Saturday at 10:30am at @pemetawe.bsky.social! Play games and bid on silent auction items in support of Nekem! Seats are $5 and this is a masked event (we'll have KN/N95 masks on hand for you). dorklordcanada.ca/world-builde...

After a long wait, my BGG designer diary for 'Hello Kitty: Day at the Park' is finally live! Curious? Check it out here:

Capy Halloween, from Barry and me!

If you'd like to hear Mary Flanagan (Tiltfactor) and I talk about board games, folk art and moral messaging, we're doing a talk with the @FolkArtMuseum next Wednesday! Discover the weird mysteries of the SAILOR'S BIBLE! And much more. Free and online with RSVP: www.eventbrite.com/e/the-world-...

First solo playtest of a new design. Of course it's horribly broken, but I'm excited about the ideas the play generated.

Heading to MittenCon next weekend- who will I see there? Also, what MUST I see in Chicago on my day passing through (Art Institute is closed that day)?

I am excited to announce an initiative that I have been working on for months with @elizhargrave.bsky.social and @senfoonglim.bsky.social : The Tabletop Game Designers Association. 🧵 www.ttgda.org

As much as I love the feeling of a new idea waiting to be developed, I am impatient to see the finished concept. I'm trying to learn to embrace the creative muddle of starts and stops and let the process take as long as it needs.

Check out this adorable new avatar created for me by my talented sister-in-law. Find her work on instagram at: www.instagram.com/otis_andm/

Excited to do a livestream with Beneeta Kaur later today, to celebrate the final day of the Hello Kitty Day at the Park Kickstarter campaign.

Neat video from Art of the Game looking at maps in wargames, including a look at the map and graphic design of The Red Burnoose. I love maps, so I enjoyed this a lot <3

Playtests at the local boardgame cafe with another designer last evening- amazing how a different perspective can shake ideas loose.

Fresh snow on the ground here, so I feel like I should work on something cozy. Are any board game mechanics that feel intrinsically cozy to you, or is it all down to theme?
