ICYMI, here's a recording of the chat I had with Xoe and Matt from Lunarpunk Games the other night! They are doing such cool things over there, so I was honored to have been invited to talk with them.

A huge thanks to all my #GenCon2025 volunteers! Thanks to them, I was able to run 20+ games of Toppings through out the weekend. Reception has been great!

#gencon2025 was a great experience! I didn't have a booth this year so I spent most of my time demoing and signing games of We're Sinking at the Lucky ducky booth. They sold out on Sunday morning.

🎲✂️ I've had several folks ask me about the In-person Print N' Playtest Notes template that I mentioned in yesterday's post. You can find both the virtual and in-person templates on the #BreakMyGame resource page. www.breakmygame.com/designer-res... @breakmygame.com #GameDesign #playtest

🎲✂️A year ago I created a print & playtest note-taking template for designers to use during in-person playtests. Almost a year later I finally made a version for virtual playtesting. I hope designers can put it to good use! docs.google.com/spreadsheets... @breakmygame.com #playtesting #gamedesign

#MAGFest was a huge success! It was great meeting supporters and seeing folks playing We're Sinking in the wild. I couldn't have done it without the help of my amazing family and friends who helped setup, pitch, sell, and for the away team who helped take care of three kids. Thank you all! 🫶

3am big-brain idea: An advent calender of calenders. Each day opens a new annual calendar. You'd be set for calenders for the next 24 years!🗓️💡

I still have FOMO for not getting to be at PAXU this week but at least I'm staying busy! I'm working on a little push-your-luck game about roasting marshmallows around a fire and it has me feeling cozy☺️ #gamedev #tabletop #boardgames
