There's some serious marketing jiu-jitsu potential emerging here.

I also played Magical Athlete (the dean of my school messaged me a picture of his copy and said “have you heard of this?“) and Defenders of the Wild (though I suspect you’ve got the update pack and expansion)!

One of my favorite academic article titles is about board game hobbyists, and it’s called “I Love All The Bits.”

I love this. Why let rules do it when systems can do it?

Incredible Goodwill find this morning: Hand-painted Totoro shoes that fit my kid perfectly. I’m jealous they don’t fit me!

As described. Two shoes on a light wood background. One shoe shows Totoro with his umbrella, the other shows the soot sprites

I keep not reposting this because I cannot think of anything to say. This pitch has rendered me speechless. Games might be good, y'all.

Building blocks is great, but I’d personally struggle to use it as a textbook. I love the Fullerton book, and I’d also add a suggestion for LeMarchand’s “A Playful Production Process.

I’ve never forgiven him for this! (Did he work at Leder at that time? No! Do I care? also no!)

Reviewers and previewers who are all about indie productions, cats, grassroots community action, and/or solo games, take note! This is a game with 3D-printed cat cubes (they have cute lil ears!) about managing feral cat populations AND it will be at the Indie Games Night Market at PAXU!

The pinch point between "If I just playtest it one or two more times!" and "I gotta get nice components ordered and shipped!" is REAL this time of year.

Leder has a very clear voice/ vision / sense of self as a publisher — that is, I can see a game and assess pretty quickly “Oh that could be a Leder game”. What’s another publisher/studio whose clarity of vision has impressed you?

Today’s game: Keep The Faith, a 2-5 player game about how religions transform over time. Our religion featured a magical monkey who ate a magical acorn (there was some schismatic tension over this) and pooped a tree of life. Design Greg Loring-Albright. Published by CMU Press.

My favorite (insufferable) Moby Dick move is to say “tell me anything and I’ll tell you how Moby Dick is about it.” Now I wanna do hardmode: “tell me anything and I’ll tell you how the whale in Moby Dick is that thing.”
