Here's my exclusive Preview Card for the Cyberpunk TCG: Wild in the Streets! Sometimes you just need to zero a spent gonk. For the low, low cost of 5 Eddies, you can! As the Lead Designer of the game, whenever I build a deck with 2 Green Legends, I always start with 3 copies of this 5-word banger.

One of my easiest and quickest designs: Hey, this guy has stabby teeth. What if he just cast a million stab wounds?

For a guy who claims his missles are hidden he sure does like to talk about them a bunch.

True Dungeon is an extremely unique experience: Basically a 2 hour Escape room as a D&D party. Solving puzzles and fighting monsters with memory and shuffleboard prowess. LMK if you'd like a Wizard loadout! I've got some juicy items. :)

I've enjoyed seeing and playing your game at Sakura-Con and TCTC, and I can't wait for it to be released to the world! I've got your little Piarmadillo on my laptop!

Recently I've been heads down working as Lead Designer of the @cyberpunktcg.bsky.social by WeirdCo and it's been a real preem experience with such wonderful folks at WeirdCo. Only 3 days left, so go check it out for a real Nova TCG that only gonks would pass up! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyb...

Last year I went on an impromptu trip to Japan with some of my best friends in a sort of a "What am I doing with my life?" journey. During our travels, I took @magic.wizards.com cards featuring the party of Baldur's Gate 3 by @larianstudios.com on my adventures to places they might like! 1/5

Had a great time dipping my toes back into Competitive Card Games in Portland at SCG CON! Went 4-3 and 6-2 with Kai’Sai in Riftbound with most of the losses being my fault which is unironically awesome. Pomni’s expression was me every time in my 6 Kai’Sa Mirrors but hey; I at least won all those!

Another great entry for me, in the “You Make, I Play” genre of games!

Just play with worse cards and it won’t be so bad!

Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike by @capcom.bsky.social Hey, I never said they had to come out in 2025! This is the game I played the most this year. Met a lot of cool people, and maybe games are just a way for people to connect with others? SEICHUSEN GODANZUKI!

Dispatch by @adhocstudio.com Don't wanna spoil this game too much, but even for "nongamers", it was a tight, experience jam packed with a great script, amazing characters, and unbelievable voice acting. Plus, just look at this family! Wouldn't you want to just be a part of this Z-Team!?

Rift of the Necrodancer by @braceyourselfgames.com Cadence gest even cooler celebrating one expression of magic in this world: Music. A mix of Osu! and Guitar Hero featuring @dannybstyle.bsky.social and other game's music. @foxesforsale.bsky.social and I got to celebrate at their launch party!

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II by @warhorsestudios.bsky.social You rarely get to see a simulator made with this much love, respect, and care. As a practitioner of Historical European Martial Arts myself, it lets me uniquely connect with that era. (I'm on the left here with a Master Strike:)

Blue Prince by @blueprincegame.bsky.social I've done hundreds of Escape Rooms, and really the high I'm searching for is just this game. It's a mystery in the best sense. I also liked it so much, I cosplayed as a puzzle from it and made tons more setups to test people at @dragoncon.org this year!

Hades II by the Staff at @supergiantgames.bsky.social I was just baffled how Supergiant could Head up Hades. Well, they did on all Axes, and Coated this game in such love and polish. They Gunned to be the best action roguelike ever made, and were Firing on all cylinders. Oh, and the Best Part was:
