Listening to a Buffy reaction video series. Regarding Jenny Calendar in her first episode: “I like her. I sure hope nothing happens to her.” Oof. These folks are in for a tough ride.

My friend James Kerr and I put together a two-part retrospective of NBG by talking to a bunch of regular freelancers and discussing the company's ten year history and their involvement in it. Here's part one of two. youtu.be/FUG5Mk_HNrY

Facebook’s shitty new policy regarding posting links on business pages. People can still copy and paste the link, but they can’t just click. Facebook can go fuck itself. One more thing on my long list of how it is incredibly difficult to be a small publisher.

Bait and switch Kickstarter creator loses Mothership license, switches to heavy AI use, and ignores requests for refunds from backers who don’t want a non-Mothership product, eroding backer trust in indie creators. I suggest you report them like I have. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bit...

Update 17: Alright, We're Off to the Races - Scrap Räts! · To Insanity and Beyond
I appreciate everyone's patience as we have been working through an immense backlog.  You can expect weekly updates (but likely no more than that) as we bear down to get this project down the pat...

Backrooms has some weird stuff going on. But the part that got to me the most, as an architect, is the design of the spaces that the characters encounter. I see all the architectural design rules being broken, from the big ones that everyone will see, down to little nuances that many won’t notice.

What’s the right price for a 150-180 page hardcover TTRPG core rule book? Full color. Glossy paper. Plenty of art and solid graphic design/layout.

The wide-ranging impact of a *single* TV episode -- Black Mirror's "San Junipero" (2016) -- has always indicated to me that there are so many more of Us than we think. That we understand the cruelty of the world, and nevertheless dare to dream. Even beyond death.

Hey folks, If you are in need of game design or editing help, you should get @coyotecrow.bsky.social on your team. Coyote does amazing work, and to top it off, is kind, funny, thoughtful, just a damn fine human being. There’s a reason I keep working with her.

The Story
The Story

As I celebrate NerdBurger Games’ 10-year anniversary, I find myself thinking back to all sorts of things leading up to, and during the formation of, my little company and publication of my first game. The following story sticks in my head the most and I’ve not forgotten it since the day it happened to me.

Early in my freelance design career, I was taking pretty much any little gig that came along. I found myself writing short articles for a fellow, who was and is well-known in the industry, who was looking to publish D&D articles/game content on his website for a subscription based service he wanted to establish. 

I pitched a few ideas, which he accepted. I submitted one, he liked it, and scheduled it for publication. I submitted a second, and he rejected it. 

I then asked if he could tell me more about what he didn’t like, so I could perhaps take a slightly different approach or adjust some things to make it into something he would like to publish. He told me that he wouldn’t be doing that. I asked why he couldn’t help me. He gave me some BS reasons and then said, “Maybe you’re not cut out for game design.”  

Those words etched themselves in my brain, and I still remember how I felt when I read that email. 

Cut to today. NerdBurger Games has been around for ten years, boasting upwards of thirty games, adventures, and accessories. I’ve received multiple design award nominations and even won an award. And there are no signs of me stopping. If I had listened to that jackass, NerdBurger Games might have died before it was even born. 

I occasionally think about him and his “less than stellar” record in the RPG industry over the past decade. And I find myself very glad that I didn’t take his words to heart. 

The point is, don’t ever let someone tell you that you aren’t cut out for something. Keep at it, put your soul into it, and prove them wrong.

It’d be pretty great if every Democrat responded to Republicans saying bigoted shot with, “Fuck you, bigot.” And then didn’t engage further. Every time. Forever.

Last night, the members of Team NerdBurger surprised me with a toast and some very kind words. If I hadn’t already been so drained (it’s been a rough convention for me), I probably would’ve cried like a baby. It was very touching and appreciated. Sometimes even those you know well surprise you. ❤️❤️
