Despite being back at work, Kickstarter is retaliating against our teammates for our legally-protected strike action from last year. Tell Kickstarter’s CEO this is both ILLEGAL and UNACCEPTABLE

Reinstate our teammates now!
Kickstarter is retaliating against our union members for our legally-protected strike action in October 2025.
Four union members have been laid off or forced to leave our union by leadership, despite clear business needs for these members' roles.

I make games because I love every step of the process—the initial idea, the scrappy first prototype, the first playtest filled with glee and failure and hope. Here’s my scrappy first prototype of Tiny Towns. [1/6]

A piece of paper showing a 4x4 grid mostly filled with drawings of buildings. Next to the grid are building names next to polyomino shapes with squares of different colors.

The trailer for Lodge is here! @timchuon.bsky.social did a phenomenal job with it—I've watched this so many times! It is so strange and wonderful to see a little idea I had turned into something as beautiful as this.

I just approved the final in game illustration for Lodge. We busted our ass on this. Gameplay rules and the art looks sick. @kickstarter.com here we come! @pickpocket.games @peterlmcpherson.bsky.social #boardgames #tabletopgames #kickstarter

I just played my first round of Lodge with a pre-production copy with my mom, and she beat me 51-37! So excited to bring this cozy game to you all soon. #lodgegame

A completed game of Lodge. Two player areas have several room tiles with guests in them, and the center market displays room tiles on a tray, as well as guests and amenities.

Lol, we do have a mini expansion. It isn't directly coded to reference Twin Peaks... But I have been known to include easter eggs in my art direction. I guess the only way to find out is to follow the KS and get the free expansion :)
