Apparently it was great working with B-Dog & BruBru on River of Gold. Good Ole AI...

Some games from last night - Finspan, Overparked, & Tower Up!

Really unique and personal idea from Tony - great to see crowd funding projects like this

A great albeit rare example of mainstream media doing a Xmas game guide that's informed & recommends actually good games. Hooray. Nice work @wbur.org! www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

Apparently this is comfortable

Feld: Score 1 point per milliliter in your cup. Then score your mugs, bottles, cans, and jugs. Then add in points from flasks, canteens, steins, goblets, and chalices. Finally add in your tankards, schooners, and carafe. And then your flagon.

My annual Gen Con wrapup column, with the ten best new games I saw and a rundown of everything else I saw, demoed, or played at this year's convention - running over 10K words - is now up at @pastemagazine.bsky.social: klaw.me/3WWtd2w #boardgames

Some pre-fireworks gaming from last night - River of Gold, Cosmic Frog, and Drop It

We are ecstatic to announce we are starting a new series of short stories featuring the River of Gold from Legend of the Five Rings. Stories by @ohnospooky.bsky.social and narrated for your listening pleasure by Heather Jinmaku. Read more here: www.legendofthefiverings.com/announcing-t...

Come watch me sail down the river with Steph! She'll be giving away a copy as well! Twitch.tv/boardgamersteph

Origins was great as always. This one wasn't about pitching or the business side things as much as seeing friends for the first time in a long time and reconnecting with the design community as a whole. Game design can be a grind - everyone at Origins reminded me of why I love it.

Had to order - such a great idea. Outer Wilds, Tunic, and Animal Well have been some of the most memorable video games I've played recently that at least touch on the idea of revealing more and more of what the game is as you play it. Sounds like this goes even a step further. Excited to try it!

Some cool things happening today - Good Time Society will be doing a live unboxing of River of Gold at 10AM PST on their Twitch and YouTube channels! And River of Gold is now in beta on Board Game Arena! Twitch - twitch.tv/goodtimesociety YouTube - www.youtube.com/live/TUz0FWd...

Some Underwater Cities today - so good!

The Gen Con preview list is live, and I would be very grateful if anyone could thumbs up River of Gold or Word Traveler! boardgamegeek.com/geekpreview/...

Some glamour shots of River of Gold which will be available at Gen Con this year. Love how the game has come together, and the artwork from Francesca Baerald is gorgeous! youtu.be/ZE3CtONI-PE?...

I hope you will join me, @bookofnerds.bsky.social and some lovely people from the @officedoggames.bsky.social team to learn Word Travelers on BGA tomorrow. They are allowing me to giveaway 1 copy of the game, some sticker sheets, and luggage tags. It will be Worldwide #giveaway! 😍

Nashville Game Design Fair is returning for 2024 as part of Nashville Tabletop Day! Make sure you get a free ticket for tabletop day to enter the design event. I am so proud of what we put together in 2019 and to be part of the 2024 planning committee. meeplemountain.com/nashville-ga... 🎲✂️

Excited to back Four Forests from John Jewell on Kickstarter! I've played several games from John and they're always unique and fun! Four Forests, via @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/gol...

Oathsworn - maybe one day I'll have this all painted and I can actually play it!

Tapestry is a game where you can list off 100 reasons you hate it and I'll agree with every one - but I still think it's freaking awesome! Cosmic Encounter meets resource management euro somehow works for me. This is the child's 1 point victory in our last game.

Not a bad night of gaming - Village & Mille Fiori

My coworkers are the laziest

Played some Archeos Society tonight. Ethnos is a favorite - not sure this is an improvement, but still fun.

When you don't post anything to the social media app you just joined for like a week because you can't think of anything good for a FIRST post - too much pressure. Feel free to follow me for more quality content 😀
