Oh hey I can finally talk about this! Wheel of Time board game coming SOON 🥹

Honestly yes.

ALERT: Mattel has been pushing game designers to submit pitches using their My Mattel Ideas portal, even if designers are in discussions with Mattel people directly. The portal forces you to commit to a royalty cap of 1.5% plus a 10% deduction to net sales - effectively 1.35%.

I’m always a little disappointed when the clerk checks my receipt on my way out of Costco. All I really want is for them to check every item and then praise me for being a good honest boy when they see I haven’t tried to steal anything. Is that too much to ask? 🥺

Re;MATCH is a forthcoming marble-matching fighting game by @brotherminggames.bsky.social, elevated by sharp fighter design and some really great match-making. My preview: spacebiff.com/2026/03/02/r...

The single most clear economic indicator of a recession is when the Money Tree is on sale for more than 50% off. (But seriously though y’all hold on to your butts).

Anyone want a copy of Dune?

New episode of #WheelofTime comes on at 3am eastern US time. Who's with me? #WoTonPrime

I caught the early live streaming of #TheWheelofTime S3E1 and loved it. The editing and storytelling feel like they've leveled up, and the performances and visuals are as stunning as always. Can't wait to see more on Thursday! #WotSkies

These boycotts are coming along at a good time because I sure don’t need to be buyin anything 👀

I’ve talked to a lot of people this week that really need to hear this game-making advice: If you don’t understand how a certain game has sold so well, it means that game (or product) has a lesson to teach you. You won’t be able to learn that lesson unless you’re willing to reinvent what you know.

Biblically accurate Chess. Black to move, mate in 2.

A big part of why I want to see more diversity in game design—and really in any creative field—is because different people create differently. The more new ideas exist in a space, the more I can absorb and evolve my own craft. Games were worse when almost all the people making them looked like me.

A Place For All My Books was definitely the smoothest project I've ever worked on. It went from concept to contract in 5 months, then from contract to launch in less than a year. If you're curious about what that journey was like, check it out in this new designer diary!

Hey, come join Alex Cutler and I as we talk to Curt Covert at Smirk & Dagger Games to talk about our new game, A Place For All My Books! www.twitch.tv/smirkanddagger

Friedemann Friese's new(ish) trick-taker is a weird case study that's making me rethink some of my long-standing predispositions in design. When I play Fishing, I have no idea how I'm doing, and I don't know whether I should be winning or losing tricks... but it's still COMPELLING #gamedesign

This should work, right?

Hey y’all, my new codesign with @alexcutler.bsky.social launched on Kickstarter today and it’s a love letter to introverts everywhere. This is a fun game from a fantastic team and I think it’s going to worm its way onto a lot of shelves ❤️

This one popped up in my feed again, and I’m always happy to share it because it makes me look a lot cooler than I actually am 👀

Someone took a picture of me throwing one half of a peace sign, and now you get to see that picture. Cheers! #trantrumcon

I keep trying to get myself to use Bluesky. It turns out, all it takes is… (gestures to everything)

Hey can we get some white noise in the theater when this screen shows during previews? I’m trying to loudly eat my snacks, and I refuse to play your game of red-light-green-light.

Hello! Excuse me, I'm new here. Can someone please point me towards the Star Trek shitposts?
