Got back from @goplaynw.bsky.social this week and I finished my AP reports, so I‘m treating myself to boba tea. That’s how it works right? Go Play was a mix of very good times, donut math hi-jinx, and a little bit of putting up boundaries to protect those good times. Here’s the skinny.

This was all in addition to the Zine Zone, good hangs and conversations about design, publishing and play, catching up with old friends and making some new ones. If you're in the area, think about it for next year, it's a great time! goplaynw.org

On my way home from #GoPlayNW. I played Liminal Horror, Vaesen, Inheritance (LARP), Arkham Horror, In The Crease (LARP), The Witch Is Dead, Space Mission, We Are Not Vampires (LARP), Magic Bullet (a zine game made at the con zine table), and PLAY. Had a wonderful time. Thanks @goplaynw.bsky.social!

I got to debut the new Swords Without Master Eidolon Folios (proof edition) at @goplaynw.bsky.social, and they were a hit! We wove a tale of stolen treasures, wizardly machinations and unintended consequences.
