I dislike chatgpt for a number of reasons, but top of my list is that it's ruined em dashes for all the real writers out there. They were – and I mean this wholeheartedly – one of our favorite things to overuse.

Got the Greyhound bus back to NYC from #PAXEast in Boston. A 20-something guy and girl ended up sitting next to each other and struck up a convo about how they'd both been to PAX (their first!) and chatted the entire way home, 4 hours straight. Games bring people together, and I love it.

Here's some cool stuff I've seen at #PAXEast so far: Tag Team, an auto-battler with a mechanic where you can only add to your deck between rounds, not re-order it. Added a cool memory strategy element trying (and in my case, failing) to disrupt my opponent's moves! Find it in First Look!

Character and action cards from a game called Tag Team are laid out on a tabletop.

This was such an impactful 90 minutes. There were actual tears. Had to spend the rest of Sunday recovering but it was well worth it! Thank you @fkth.bsky.social, @jemalexander.bsky.social, and @chriswilsonart.bsky.social for braving our collective teenage angst with me!

This was so good! 🤩 I had an amazing time with Fiona, @chriswilsonart.bsky.social and @clairepurcell.bsky.social. Was not prepared for how intense this experience was going to be. A+++ would miss Alice again.

As our game studio's writer, there was very little I needed to do to convert my work from laptop/desktop to iPad. The dev team, on the other hand, faced a gargantuan task. I will forever appreciate the work that goes into making a game cross-platform - it is no mean feat!

Tales of Fablecraft launched on iPad today! This is a huge milestone for us - I'm so excited to put TTRPGs into the hands of more people. And to all my fellow TTRPG enthusiasts: if you want to indoctrinate friends into the genre, this is the perfect entry point! fablecraft.riftweaver.com

Finally editing some Mythas lore from our messy internal docs to put in-game. When you're running forwards at 100mph to launch a brand new ttrpg, it can be tough to find the time to build backwards into the past. But now we're doing it, it feels worthwhile and exciting!

Any of my fellow game writers taking their kicks where they can get 'em? 😈 #gamedev

Two tokens depicting a frog and a humanoid mushroom monster are displayed on a screen. A pop-up window is displayed above the Spore Sentinel token and reads: Not-so-Fun-Guy. Spore Sentinels are strongest in large numbers, and skewer their foes with a poison spear. These Sentinels are grown rather than born - when a Sentinel falls, a Sentinel Spawn remains in its place. If the spawn survives, it grows into a new Sentinel. Its stats are displayed: 11 Health, 3 Combat Dice, and 3 Speed.

A zoomed in screenshot displays the text: Not-So-Fun-Guy

The Mr. Rogers advice for moments of crisis is a useful thing to remember right now. Look for the helpers. Look for the people organizing to protect the most vulnerable. Look for the people who have been concretely planning for how to respond, and are ready to implement. Join them, if you can.
