Day 3 of the #UKGamesExpo went by in a flash! Met @miasmacorp.bsky.social for the first time in person, after 6 years since meeting online at the first Zenobia Awards. We had a look at Wendybuxxx as well 👀 We had a great time ^_^ Then it was time for a last go around the halls 🏃‍♀️

Lemon Piglet 2025/2026! 🥳

A "lemon piglet", a holiday mascot made with a lemon for the body, cloves for eyes, toothpics for legs, tinfoil for a tail, and flaps cut to make the ears of an altogether very round piglet! It's holding a 5 yen coin in a mouth slit made on the pointy bit of the lemon. The 5 yen coin is a perforated coin with a bronze/golden tint.

Probably the quickest game of Bandido I've ever played, and we won! : D A nifty card game by Martin Nedergaard Andersen with @helvetiq.bsky.social, illustrated by Odile Sageat and Lucas Guidetti Perez. This is the mini version from the gacha machine at @sugorokuya.bsky.social !

This just started! Love Jo (@miasmacorp.bsky.social) and loved seeing the first iteration of the game come into existence during the first Zenobia Awards, in which I was lucky enough to share a cohort with them. I'm enjoying the stream and I'm looking forward to the teach & play! : )

Always a pleasure to meet folks and play games ^_^ It was fun playtesting Rob and Alex's "The Artifact" again after quite some time and seeing how far it's come! : D
