Kickstarter copy arrived for Trench Crusade. Looking forward to doing a deep dive on the book and painting up the rest of my New Antioch.

Friday night with Magic: The Gathering and pizza. Good times.

Just finished sending out a big round of panel invites for WonderCon/D4. Excited to see the D4: Tabletop Creative Conference grow at WonderCon. We had so many panel submissions this year we had to expand to an additional ballroom.

if you would like to have a rant/considered conversation about something Wyrd Science, tabletop games in general or the world, and have it featured in the next issue of Wyrd Science, then you have 2 weeks left to get your diatribes in... send your green inked emails to [email protected]

Wonderful weekend at SCA War of the Phoenix in Arizona. Nice to spend a few days camping with friends and enjoying medieval hobbies. Always good to fight in armor then adventure around at night from camp to camp. Good times all around.

Gorgeous Arizona sunset at SCA War of the Phoenix.

GAMA Expo is right around the corner and Im looking forward to it! Ill be moderating & speaking on a handful of panels, attending a handful of networking events & workshops and catching up with folk. My schedule still has a few openings if you want to line up to meet.

It has been nice to have a bit of extra free time in the past week. Had some great calls today with a couple folk working on their indie miniatures wargames. There are some incredibly creative folk working on such cool projects. Feels like we are on the cusp of a miniatures wargaming renaissance.

Nice to get some hobby time tonight. Enjoying the new setup. Working on my New Antioch for Trench Crusade.

Been working on a lot of tabletop programming the past week between GAMA Expo and WonderCon/D4. Great to see the level of panels that are coming together. There are a lot of people doing exciting things in the tabletop space. Glad we can make more opportunities to share knowledge and experience.

Congrats to the team over at Creatist Games for their launch of NPC Rivals on Kickstarter this morning! Leo Camacho has designed a delightfully combative deck-building game, that incorporates the best parts of the mechanics and introduces some great d20 dice elements.

New intro post! Hi! I'm Navaar (he/him) I'm a game designer with a focus on adventure story games about connection, an Actual Play producer, Sound Designer, award-winning GM, and occasional performer. Listen to Secret Nerd Podcast, and check out my games!! navaar.carrd.co

Today is for galactic conquest! Time for Twilight Imperium.

I like to think that I ruin Bluesky like I ruin all social media platforms.

One of the coolest things about working at Atomic Mass Games was getting to see all the art and working with iconic characters. The art team absolutely knocked these out of the park and can't wait to see those cosmic characters hit the tabletop.

"A wizard is never late, nor is she early. She arrives precisely when she means to." I am thrilled to let y'all know I'm joining #WotCStaff as a Game Designer for the Dungeons and Dragons team! This move starts a new chapter in my life and I am so excited to see what adventures await me 💜

History will not be kind to this administration.

Magic: The Gathering draft and Mario Kart 64. Fantastic Friday evening.

Working through a few more emails, but just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who commented and reached out this week. I am incredibly thankful for all the kind words, positive support and connections for this next phase in my professional career. Thank you, it means more than you know.

Flats! (Still chipping away whenever I can find the time) #WarhammerCommunity #SpaceMarines #Warhammer40k

Was going through my inbox this week and realized I never shared a fun podcast interview from back at Chicago Toy & Game Week. I sat down with Aarin and Max from the Innovation World Young Collaborators Podcast series, which was a fantastic chat. www.buzzsprout.com/1589629/epis...

Great game session of Shotguns & Sorcery at the UCSD MAVERiC Center. Good to catch up with folk from Tavern Tales SD and Ladies of D&D too. Already staring to plan some of the SDCC Night Market event with the UCSD TTRPG Entrepreneurship Program. Looking forward to an exciting event this year.

Had a great podcast interview this morning with LFG Con. Really nice to talk with their crew about tabletop marketing and can't wait for their second year gaming convention later in 2026 here in SoCal.

Waking up this morning to the flurry of messages and comments from my departure post and just blown away by all the kind words and thoughtful messages. Truly thank you. Taking a leap is always makes things a bit anxious, but looking forward to see where this path goes.

With a new year, comes new changes. I've enjoyed my time with Atomic Mass Games over the past two years, but I've made the decision to start on the next chapter. 🎲🧵

Long line to get into the park, but time to enjoy the day! First visit of the year.

Hey TTRPG Sky! I'm looking to organize group games for my team here at Demiplane/Roll20, and am seeking professional online GMs to hire for one-shot play. If that's you, you can drop me a quick line through this google form: forms.gle/Yesw4e9r3WR7... Systems I'm looking for in the next post.

Stopped by the game shop on lunch break to pick up a box of the new Magic: The Gathering set. Looking forward to some drafting tonight with friends. Love how Wizards partnered with Jim Henson for the marketing on this release.

2+ hour brunch talking publishing, media, and creativity. Summary of the advice covered: • Know why you're doing a project and keep that in mind, especially if it starts changing. • Treat your collaborators and audience with kindness and patience because they will remember, especially if you don't.

If you have a steady stream going OR TTRPG streams already planned and want to integrate an anti ICE charity component but don't know where to start, let me know and I can send you my team fundraiser with the resources I'm sharing with the team I want fundraising to be as accessible as possible

Very glad I took the time over the holidays to unplug and refresh, but now that we are already in January, its been panel and convention prep. Been working on the panels for D4/WonderCon, along with the panels I'm running at GAMA Expo. Going to be some great programming for those events.

Great time playing a one-shot of Matt Forbeck's Shotguns & Sorcery last night at the UCSD MAVERiC Center. Todd ran a fantastic session which threw us right into the noir setting for a great adventure. Really glad to see their team working to expand the TTRPG entrepreneurship program on campus.

Come find me in Community Row at @orcacon.bsky.social all weekend and take the Union Pledge!

Deactivated my Twitter/X account this morning. I'd been meaning to do that late last year, but with how the platform made a huge surge to being all fake AI porn and essentially the 4chan community, it is completely garbage.
