Our two releases for the month of September—and both in print! Not to toot my own horn, but the production on each book continues to get better and better and better. Snag a copy of one or both at store.foofaraw.press #indiepublishing

I should have foreseen getting Editor’s Choice in the Quotidian Bagatelle “Crumbs” contest would result in friends and family rushing to claim “I always said your writing was crumby.”

First, thanks to the @cardboardedison.com judges for the work they put in on the 🎲✂️contest. We got thoughtful and likely actionable feedback on our game. Now, can I get a hint as to how 5.8, 5.8, and 4.8 out of 7 should feel? C’mon, fess up—do we start at 4.0 by just not misspelling “rule book”?

🎲✂️ I remember way back—ten days ago—the excitement we felt submitting our first game to the cardboard edison contest. We are pretty proud of that game. While waiting for feedback, we got the first rough prototype of a second game to the table, and the feeling is… what’s the opposite of excitement?
