One of the best part of making a #WheelofTime game is that it led to the generation of a ton of great art that the whole WoT fandom. War of the Dragon is live on Kickstarter NOW! 😍

We're heading to UKGE this year! Just a few days until we visit Birmingham for the first time. youtu.be/eeYkeExY6jU

I'm pitching my very first game! I was wondering if folks have templates or suggestions for sell-sheets for prototypes, and what information is key to highlight.

After UK Games Expo last year, I wrote a very upbeat piece about games I played & people I played with & neurodivergence. I'm looking forward to heading back this year. You can read my thoughts from last year, which still feel right to me: www.timclarepoet.co.uk/uk-games-exp...

Ilya & Tylor (@kovray.bsky.social) have a great video with a quick teach and playthrough of FRENZY FALLS. The video shows how well it plays at 2-player, but they also do a great job of explaining how the chaos increases as the player count does. @theop.games @fanfactories.bsky.social

We have a policy, where we do not cover games with any sort of Generative AI. We’re in a time where a lot of the time we can see certain elements that would make us wonder or even assume that the art present is AI generated, however, I do fear offending artists and publishers with this question.

Our March Recap: youtu.be/Qb8YXTnKTTs Great games, a local convention, a persisting sickness, and UNNATURAL game mechanics!

OFFICIALLY BOOKED FOR UKGE! Who else is going? Let's play some games =)

How many Pines and Apples? Wait are they Pineapples now? youtu.be/7gxO0EZMUZA Check out our playthrough of 2 PineApples!

Brass: Pittsburgh launches TOMORROW! Preview the game with @kovray.bsky.social! Watch Now ⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuQ4on6Gcbw See you at launch!

You know what irks me? Creators who have AI Thumbnails or Profile Pictures. Like... Why? Also I feel like Generative AI has began to slowly paranoy my brain, as I feel like I am beginning to question EVERYTHING around me.

🔥NEW VIDEO So I've been consulting a university research team on parasocial relationships between board game content creators and their audience. Here’s a quick video about it: youtu.be/cJI9TF0FxX4

A fun playthrough for a fun Saturday? Let's play Roll'n Bump Duel! youtu.be/p1QC_iEH9y4

Ilya and Tylor of the @kovray.bsky.social YouTube channel have done an amazing job on their how to play video for Roll’n Bump Duel! Their only mistake was in how to pronounce my last name 😅 For the curious, it’s closest to “doze-wah” Great job, fellas!! youtu.be/lml6lD1285o?...

We're BACK: youtu.be/SpOAU7hQeXY I've been sick for the last three weeks, which means we haven't been able to film or really play any games. However, my energy is mostly back so we had to share some of the games we've played in February and why we loved them! AND... We're Doing March Madness (1/2)

If my voice could please come back, along with my energy, I would be very grateful. Being sick for nearly three weeks IS TOO LONG! Thank you.

Check out this project: www.kickstarter.com/projects/haz... It's quite unique and certainly won Tylor and I over.

I’ve got a terrible cough and feeling like poop, but at least I’ve never made an AI caricature of myself

Coming to Kickstarter in April: Unearth 10th Anniversary Edition! New graphic design, new content, and updated gameplay. More information coming soon! Stay tuned ⛰️

Today I want to share that Ryan Dancey and AEG have parted ways. This is not an easy post to write. Ryan has been a significant part of AEG’s story, and I am personally grateful for the years of work, passion, and intensity he brought to the company. We have built a lot together.

I make games because I love every step of the process—the initial idea, the scrappy first prototype, the first playtest filled with glee and failure and hope. Here’s my scrappy first prototype of Tiny Towns. [1/6]

Aaannd we're live! Forage + Honeypot are on Kickstarter now - we would really appreciate your early support for these new small box games! Check out the page for all of the details - we're SO excited about these ones!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fla...

Wow, this guy really hates people. I'd feel pretty crummy if I were one of the talented designers he was dumping on.

No one should be creating partnerships with HP at this point given the ways JK Rowling is spending her money to actively harm our trans friends. Hopefully Avalon Hill, a game studio within Hasbro, will steer free of this nonsense. I'll reach out to them and put in my 2 cents.

Purchasing views or subscribers is simply deceitful. We will never do this. Promoting your work is normal. Presenting paid or manufactured engagement as organic credibility is not. (1/2)

Today I emailed publishers about a concerning practice a board game media creator engaged in. This will likely become public, so I'm providing the details here to give the full context of what I shared. 1) Document: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/o8ovt... 2) Video: youtu.be/fHXGWflPj4c 1/2

Here is ours: socialblade.com/youtube/chan... We've never bought subscribers or views, and will never be doing that in the future. This tool is helpful in general to see if any suspicious activity does occur with the creators who's content you consume. Information is power.

A reminder that you can always look up a you tube channel on Social blade. If you are a publisher I recommend getting used to it. Look for weird subscriber spikes, how many views each video gets. You can learn a lot about a channel this way. socialblade.com/youtube/hand...

Okay... What are our thoughts on ending the game halfway through if the table is not having a good experience? Have you done this? How do you approach this delicate situation?

Top 5 Games of January: youtu.be/riFmwc3vYsE

I want to see designers avoid designing against "alpha-gaming." It limits creativity and innovation in what games could be. At it's heart, alpha-gaming is a PERSON problem, not a game problem. The best comparison I've heard is cheating. Not many games are designed to prevent cheating?

“Unbiased” board game reviews are the last ones to be trusted. Everyone has biases. Far more trustworthy are reviews that acknowledge their influence and bias. It indicates a level of awareness, honesty, and ability to contextualize that hints at more thoughtful and meaningful analysis and review.

Thanks to the folks out there in board games trying to lead the horses to water. Grant grace. Believe people when they show you who they are. Hold accountable. These three things are not mutually exclusive nor should they be.
