You're too kind my friend! I loved the original, so it was an honor to work on an expansion!

I'd love to have you folks play it! I need to get a print and play version around!

Jonathan Gilmour-Long (he/him) @jongilmour.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
Are you able to remove the printing to reprint on them later? I've been very interested in picking up one for similar reasons.

What's your technique? I usually keep them in a big jar until it's full, then soak them in GooGone, and then wash them.

I'm only bringing one pitch-ready game to Gathering of Friends this year, and somehow I still feel underprepared. But I'm super excited to show more people Fable & Fate (An RPG) that @mrsdactyl.bsky.social and I have been working on!

Wooooof. Looking back, 1998 was not a great year for movies. A LOT of them didn't hold up. That being said, even though I didn't watch it for a couple years after,

The leadership of the Tabletop Game Designers Association was disappointed to see the publisher CGE touting Codenames: Back to Hogwarts, a new Harry Potter-themed version of Codenames.

25 years ago today one of the greatest albums ever came out Deltron 3030. Give it a listen if you haven't. And if you have, give it a spin because it's probably been a minute. Here's a live version. youtu.be/s7FxVSDLonY?...

I need to revisit it. At launch I did not get anywhere near as hooked as I did with RL1, which is one of my favorite games.

Hey friends! A game I helped with just launched on KS, and I would love if you gave it a look and shared it around! It's a great introduction to role-playing, and lets you play an RPG with your brick-style toys (be they Lego or otherwise). Give it a look here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

Whenever I'm stuck on a project I flip this book open to a random page and look for inspiration. Today's page definitely did it. The hardest part is starting. Make it today. Tomorrow when you pick it back up you'll be better at it. You'll figure it out.
