🏳️‍🌈 They've been requested, and they have been added! Now we've got more Roll With Pride shirts over on my merch store! We've got non-binary, aromantic, lesbian, men loving men, and leather pride flag colors! $5 from every shirt sold goes straight (ironic) to @tabletopgaymers.bsky.social!

A shirt absolutely covered with dice, of which are the non-binary pride flag colors.

A shirt with a bunch of dice, like some might say too many, that match the aromantic pride flag colors.

Lesbian dice shirt! Sorry, this one turned out really pretty and I'm proud of it.

And this is one you might not know, it's the men loving men pride flag as represented by dice! It's like the lesbian flag except more dude-like.

I'm so stoked to announce my new line of tabletop shirts! There's a bunch of fun stuff in there, but the thing I'm most excited for is the collaboration with @tabletopgaymers.bsky.social! $5 from every pride shirt sold goes straight to them to help bring LGBT rep to the tabletop community! 🏳️‍🌈 💙

New episode of the HTT Vodcast up now feat. Ice and Idols from Inside Up Games! youtu.be/WBYhAOCJaSQ I'm trying a bit of a different thing where I talk through the same kind of content I would in an episode rather than doing a full-on production. I hope this scratches the same itch! 💙

Did you know that every episode comes with a summary for the game that outlines the entire process of teaching it top to bottom? It's true! You can print these out and leave them in the box (or save them to your phone) so you're ready to play!

A teacher's guide for the board game Pirates of the High Teas. A screen reader friendly PDF is available through my Patreon!

Happy birthday to How to Teach (and me lol)! 🎉🎊🎂 It's been amazing. How to Teach launched my video production career a year ago, and now I'm animating/producing videos full-time. A little teaser, the next one drops on the 16th on a game from @brotherwisegames.bsky.social 👀 Here's to another year!

I made an announcement on patreon that the next episode was going to be on Codenames, and I had the full script and plan for the episode done. I'm not going forward with the episode unless something is done about this, which is a shame.

My biggest piece of advice is to understand what the minimum number of rules is to play. Not win. Not strategize. Not anything like that, just directed play. So, one of the things you can do is ask yourself what a player needs to be doing at the start and what do they need to know to do that?
