This was a deeply moving episode. Chad Jensen, your memory is a blessing. Thank you, Kai, for your courage and generosity of spirit in sharing about his loss.

Oh, are we back to work?

Excited to announce *Animal Rescue Team* co-designed with friend and real-life animal rescuer, Lisa Towell, coming next year from Play to Z. This will also be the first game in the SU&SD Presents line. Fun to work with Zev again; we first teamed up on a game called Pandemic back in 2007.

It was wait on line for this, or the LotR trick taking game. I chose wisely

Fabio Lopiano playtested one of my games at PAXU yesterday, in the @unpub.bsky.social room!!

ASCEND, ASCEND TO THE TERRACE!

We have about 30 copies of Tír na nÓg available at the Grand Gamers Guild booth at PAXU. Please use this information responsibly.

Stuffing will waffle

As we make our way through this gluttonous weekend of deals, remember that no matter how low the price of a game is in dollars, you must also pay its cost in time.

My kids are starting a DnD campaign this afternoon, leaving me free to take a nap. Living my best life.

Great week for Five Games for Doomsday! A classic #5G4D show with @kwanchai.bsky.social and a slightly inebriated episode of Battle Report playing Unmatched-Suns [email protected] . These are both fantastic! https://buff.ly/3ZbNvpL https://buff.ly/3UZ691F

In this free Battle Report, Ben and Steve tackle Unmatched:Suns Origin from @restorationgames.bsky.social https://buff.ly/3UZ691F

Are immersion and flow state in tension with one another? I love games that get me into flow state, but that's usually when I forget about the art, setting, components, story, all the stuff that makes me feel immersion. ✂️🎲

Hey. Where are all the ads?

If you're on the fence about backing Tír na nÓg please listen to The Secret Cabal's glowing review - it's in the first 10min of the show. Then come back us at www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra... thesecretcabal.com/episodes/epi...

Game recognizes game! @elizhargrave.bsky.social

Here's Tír na nÓg by @isaacshalev.bsky.social and Jason Slingerland, from Grand Gamers Guild. I had the pleasure of serving as the game's cultural consultant / researcher. Worth it just for the stunning art of @brigetteidesign.bsky.social but also a fast, challenging worker placement drafting game.

I will RS every picture of Tír na nÓg, so keep them coming. No lewds ppl, this isn't that other place

What's the point of social media if I had to wait until 2024 to discover how good Gentes is? I blame this oversight on everyone but myself.

Just finished reading Games: Agency as Art by C. Thi Nguyen, which I read in 15min snippets ever morning for the last few months. Check out podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c... for a terrific intro into the book's ideas about games and play

This episode of 5 Games for Doomsday was so good I listened to it twice @5g4d.bsky.social pca.st/episode/2449...

Corey Davis looks pretty smart right now

My wife bought me a gift to celebrate my leaving Twitter.

Game design fam, the Building Blocks book is currently selling at an all-time low of $55, so if you've been waiting for a price drop, please check it out! www.amazon.com/Building-Blo...

Please spread the word about this free online "Women Innovators of Play" event Sept 12, for women interested in pitching boardgames to Hasbro. 🎲✂️ I'm the first speaker, despite my lack of Hasbro experience! 🙂

I finally got here. And I brought a cheese board!
