My final video for 2025 compiles the lessons I learnt about games design this year, from rethinking how I work, what I want to design, and the people who I couldn't have done without. Thank you everyone who has supported the channel this year, and have a wonderful 2026! youtu.be/62zLZONQc4Q 🎲✂️

Christmas is over.

Another holiday, another brutal loss of Spots at the hands of my wife. @perryjon.bsky.social @cmyk.games

Vacation begins 🤓 @sorcerytcg.bsky.social

I love art 🐓

Caught the last day of the show at PICA. This one is by Cameron Clayborn

Today’s workout song youtu.be/N7V6DGOPrKQ?...

Today I wish all influencers a very happy broken jaw

YOB IS LOVE A perfect show to end the year.

I was going to post about my favorite sludge and doom metal albums from 2025 but I got distracted by these idiots

Sorting cards is a special kind of hell. But I guess @sorcerytcg.bsky.social is worth it

Obsessed with this @sorcerytcg.bsky.social art by Juan Machuca

Lies! Harbinger is number 1 just because of the look on your opponent’s face when you roll their starting site — Ranking all avatars in @sorcerytcg.bsky.social’s new gothic set www.tcgplayer.com/content/arti...

Great peek at how one of the most interesting publishers out there right now looks at games

12 hours left, hackers. Turn your deck of playing cards into a cyberdeck. Use it it to navigate The NUWESTPAC Seaboard and other cyberpunk networks as you upgrade your cards, dodge ICE, and free communities from corporate tyranny. CARD DRIVES: www.kickstarter.com/projects/not...

Played a 46 year old Spider-man game tonight with @wordblanket.com. The box had never been opened and everything was immaculate inside

We are in full blown Sorcery mode at our house this week. @sorcerytcg.bsky.social

I wanna know more about this neighbor

Some book designer in the 1990s did Octavia Butler dirty

Some of the most distinct and beautiful art to ever exist in a video game 👌

First time playing at a @sorcerytcg.bsky.social event at the Portland Game Store!

I’m stuck watching tracking info for my @sorcerytcg.bsky.social Gothic boxes, so I’m at least spoiling the new avatars for myself. Look at this art! 💀

Weird coffin incoming

Teaching everyone I know @sorcerytcg.bsky.social to prepare for release of the new set this weekend

We spent last holiday weekend in Palm Springs doing nothing but eating, drinking, and lounging by the pool. It was our first real vacation, just the two of us, since my bad back injury two years ago. And it was sooo needed

The art in this game 👌

At my weekly game design meetup, I basically yelled at everyone for an hour that Hot Streak is the best game of 2025 by a huge margin, and it's not even close, and I won't accept any counterarguments, it's just a fact of life 😆 @perryjon.bsky.social and @cmyk.games did wonders with that game

This looks incredible! Obsessed with the games Matthew and @rorymuldoon.bsky.social make together

One of my favorite people is becoming a pot dealer

Started working on a tiny version of my Gate Crushers series, starting with the flag bearer. Those epic scale minis are sooooo tiny, a real challenge to paint. Even had to use a magnifier to do my tiniest edge highlights and smallest glazes ever. Anyway, hope you like that start, more to come ^^

This is basically me in every meeting arguing why design is important

From rainy Portland to rainy Palm Springs. First time being here while it’s properly raining

Fitting to read this @chucktingle.bsky.social book while in a Palm Springs hot tub. Thanks for the most perfect desert gift @twocookiesandacoke.bsky.social. And thanks to the gay militias for keeping Palm Springs safe 🌈

If I made a shortlist of fave designers, @kevinwilson42.bsky.social would be on it. From the Kinfire games, adventure games, dungeon crawlers, and Mad Mage is the best D&D board game ever made dammit. So many good ones! Stoked to see what's next

I'm hopelessly addicted to this game and the art in it

My friend @merrykish.bsky.social basically did performance art to raise money for St Jude’s. Dressed as a PEAK character, listening to YOB, making pasta. This is insanely hilarious. My mind is blown. @aggrocrabgames.bsky.social

A trick taker where you make HOT DOGS!

Introducing the S.L.O.P. (Super Large Oversized Portion) from Fatty Patty’s. A brunch spot in my hometown of Battle Ground, WA. It used to be served on a giant pizza tray. This pile was legendary in town. youtu.be/ax-O7cXq2cU?...

Art by • Daniel Hassell

Just starting Storyfold. Has a great “no rulebook required” onboarding experience

Hot take from @lukeplunkett.com: “…board games fucking rule.” Letting board games take over my life after burning out from multiple jobs and leaving my art career has been one of the greatest joys of my life. And my game group just booked a weekend away together ❤️

Background music for today’s board games gileadmedia.bandcamp.com/album/alluvion

New profile cuz why not

Oh that must be one of those ugly video games that only the youths play

One of the best "Magic The Gathering but in one box" games is on sale. Also the new solo mode in the Indigo Sisterhood expansion is incredible

I made a bunch of games and game-like objects that fit in vending machine 1" capsules

El Grande is a 30 year old game and it blew my mind tonight. It still feels surprisingly modern and I just feel dumb for waiting this long to play it boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/93

The first “wargame” where I felt genuinely terrible for losing a little soldier (I’m sorry ocelots!).
