Ooooh this looks like fun!

so if you were planning on buying my book but were like idk I'll wait until it shows up in front of me somewhere" know that buying it now will not only help ensure I get to make another book, but it will also help me stick it to the faceless jerks who pre-decided my book was gonna fail

The designer of Wyrmspan and the head of Stonemaier Games discuss the board games that they’ve learned the most from

#Crownfell: Last Stand, a solo expansion for my 18-card chess-like abstract strategy game, is coming along. For each enemy card, you flip an action card and place it on its arrow side, next to the deck. They take the topmost action they can take from their current position...

In today's video I go over my approach in designing print and play games for Postmark games, the lessons we've learnt and what we aim to do for all our future releases. Also useful ideas if you want to design your own roll and write games! youtu.be/JFcqzisgDao 🎲✂️

It's Don't Argue Inside Your Head With Other People Friday. Today, if you find yourself arguing inside your head w/someone who's not present, or whom it's not safe or not fair for you to argue with, gently move your mind away. Do this as many times as you need.

Happy to announce that my poem "Perish and Live Forever," which first appeared in MEXICANS ON THE MOON, has just won the @sfpoetry.bsky.social 's Dwarf Star Award for poetry. This award is for best micro poem of 10 lines or less. Many thanks to members who voted. It is a big honor. Much love!

I decided to make an official grid for #Crownfell notation. Satisfyingly, it is also the order in which you select enemy cards for turn order in the solo mode (A1 to A5, then B1 to B5, etc). 🎲✂️

This is so great! And applies to board games too… Wanna see if your game can maybe work? Try putting everything you want on a card, on a card. 😅 🎲✂️

The #Crownfell solo mode is coming along *very* nicely...! Defend against an onslaught of warriors with just a handful of heroes. I had my doubts about being able to pull off a solo mode for a chess-like game, but I'm pleased with how this is coming together. 🎲✂️

I absolutely reject a world where the dead remain among us in the form of AI clones that could multiply across all connected media. Not only do I find it indecent, but what about mourning? It's so important to be able to grieve. We've all been there. This is pure sci-fi dystopia. 👎

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

jay sent me this before publication but I was too sick to read it (and I am still sick, dammit) but I have read it now and it is very much worth your time if you care at all about games, especially games that ask you to attempt to resolve irresolvable tensions by breaking or questioning rules
