In case you haven't seen it, this was my vision for a cover for the Ear Candy expansion to Rock Hard: 1977. I love the look of '70s album covers.

If my cats were board gamers, Slinky would choose a cozy game (pictured) and Peanut would choose a war game. Especially if it involves the neighbor's cat.

For 50+ years I've been wishing I had photos from the night in 1975 when my friends and I dressed up as Kiss and jammed. And now it turns out that a precious few exist. Thank you to Jeff Stephens, who kept a few of them, and to Scott Newell and the late John Papadakis, who are with in this photo!

When a cat loves and trusts you this much every shredding is instantly forgiven.

Yes - technically I have kissed Robin Zander of Cheap Trick.

Jackie Fox with Peter Claffey from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Yes he is quite tall. Also very funny.

Let’s just say I had to put child-proof caps on the stove knobs.

CAT OWNERS-PLEASE READ My cat, Peanut, has taken to drowning her toys. This morning I took a red pom pom out of her toy box. Tonight this is what her water dish looked like. From now on, I will either give her natural toys or check each toy for colorfastness before I let her put it into her mouth.

Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space was the first game I ever played at a board game meetup. So, it’s a bit surreal to see Rock Hard: 1977 nipping at its heels on the BGG hotness.

Hanging with the finalists at the Rock Hard: 1977 championship at the World Series of Board Gaming. They were real rock stars, starting the game around 11 PM. Justin (lower left), the winner, even made it to the awards presentation at 8 AM. Congrats to them all.

If you are at the World Series of Board Games, I'll have two copies of the Jackie Fox promo card for Rock Hard: 1977 available after the awards presentation Sun morning for $250 each, cash, Venmo or PayPal. 100% of proceeds go to a 501(c)(3) charity for L.A. fire prevention and relief.

Hi, Bluesky! Did I ever mention that I love #boardgames and #cats? Though TBH, it is a bit hard to start up a board game when the cat is using your gaming table as a cat bed and she looks so happy.

Some more art for you to enjoy. Evelyn de Morgan is one of the few notable Pre-Raphaelites who was a woman. Of all her works, this one, The Love Potion, speaks to me. Is she a sorceress? Just a smart woman helping others find love? Either way, she has a black kitty!

Rock Hard: 1977 won the Dice Tower award for Best Theming 2024. The only thing better than getting to accept in person is having @sirjoshwood.bsky.social read your acceptance speech. Hope I get to be in the audience when he inevitably wins one!

Judith Slaying Holofernes by Artemesia Gentileschi. Gentileschi was an early 17th c. Roman painter who was raped by a fellow artist. Gentileschi painted two versions of the biblical story of Judith, a Jew who seduced and killed the Syrian general Holofernes to save her people. This is the 2nd.

Thank you so much to @dicetower.bsky.social. Four noms including Game of the Year for Rock Hard: 1977. I am really touched by all the support for this game.

Rock Hard: 1977 is back in stock at DevirGames.com and various game stores with a new, improved 2nd printing. If you missed the first run, now's your chance to try the game the Fandomentals called "A Perfectly Executed, Tongue-In-Cheek Ode To The Rock n’ Roll Lifestyle."

I'd never thought coming up for character names would be harder than abilities, but I've got two new characters and three new managers for the Rock Hard: 1977 expansion I'm working on and the names are killing me! (and yes- that's VERY temp AI art. Actual art will again be by @jginer.bsky.social).
