touching grass (winter edition)

I swear I'm not playing favorites, but Sebastian's broken sanctum and @kobanya.bsky.social's Mousike were two of the most delightful games from Broken Sky because the mechanics were "draw" and "make music." I love games that challenge your perspective on storytelling and gameplay.

I know we say it all the time, but knowing that you've played one of our games and enjoyed it means the world to us game designers. I received this lovely, thoughtful comment and it made my day.

Check out Nova’s review of my Spire scenario! It’s a joy to receive meaningful critique, especially from a fellow game designer and someone so well versed in the hobby.

My top shelf is now completely full of books I worked on. Not all of these are tabletop, but I contributed to each in some way.

That's my Adar-Kai!

This is such a great video! I hugely appreciate the interview, and it’s wonderful to see so many other indie games featured as well!

Legit so stoked for this

Belated PAX U haul!

Turns out social media is as exhausting as ever, so I won’t be returning in the same capacity. However, I am excited to see everyone offline at PAX! Who else will be there? I’m still putting together my schedule, so if you’d like to meet for work or hang out, please let me know!

Bangin’ lineup, if I do say so myself 😎

I picked up this game yesterday. I love how it eschews procedure for metaphor, and how its structure echoes the themes of memory, repetition, and distortion. THWR lays out its intentions and cares deeply about the experience it creates. You should check it out.

I said what I said. I’ve never seen a straight snake.

*editing Yuan-Ti for @killeverymonster.com* Me: "I think there is something inherently queer about them." @djmalenfant.bsky.social: "Aram looks at anything remotely hot and says...yeah, that's one of ours." @sebastianyue.bsky.social: "I mean, he's right. Snakes literally cannot be straight."

Check out the talkback! I enjoyed yapping about season six almost as much as I enjoyed playing it!

I just feel like August should be the end of Q3, not September

I am so proud of the Cosmere RPG, and of the fantastic team behind it! Check out this thread!

Sebastian Yūe was actually the very first person I contacted to work on the Cosmere RPG, and they've been a key Editor for the project ever since. We've been lucky to have Sebastian's clear voice and attention to detail on every Stormlight adventure and e-supplement! 🧵

I wish for my friends in the USA the experience I had when Liz 2 died. That is to say: six people reached out to congratulate me personally, the group chats lit up with memes, and trans people everywhere celebrated the creation of a new gender-neutral bathroom

Touching… water? 🌊

Been making short-form content at work, it's great fun! This is my colleague @sebastianyue.bsky.social and I can't believe this is their first go at making videos like this?? It's so GOOD

My very first attempt at short-form video and it’s Humblewood shenanigans 🦉🌳

This was so fun to write! 30k+ words of drama and also erotica ❤️‍🔥

The latest Vimfuzhi is out and it’s our spiciest one yet! Ptem tortures time wizards, Vim dies (dw he gets better), and they both try to figure out how to manage to trauma of all that. @sebastianyue.bsky.social and I had a ton of fun writing it. archiveofourown.org/works/69592346

I am SO incredibly proud of this show — not just the story we wove of grief, rage, and violently queer & diasporic transformation; but also the artistic process by which we made the show. I felt so supported, listened to, and cared for every step of the way by the cast and crew. LAST HOPE I LOVE YOU

Happy Tuesday, travelers! We want to congratulate our fellow podcasters out there who are sharing their exciting nominations for #NJWebFest! We see so many amazing performers out there getting their nods and we're so proud. 😊
