Been too busy to yell about this on here, but Sands of Crime is nearly at 3K raised and 75%! Please consider backing my silly dice game about desert gangs stealing loot 🌵🙏🌵

About crashed my car because as I was driving home I witnessed the LARGEST and SPOOKIEST moon I’ve ever seen. It’s notoriously hard to snap a decent pic of the moon, but you gotta believe me.

Today is Septemberween, the holiday I invented where you take stock of your socks and appreciate Tom Hanks. For six years I’ve had students bring in socks to decorate the Septemberween tree. It is very dumb and the kids love it. High schoolers still ask me about it.

Thanks for the kind words, scam email. We managed to pull in $1,000 in the first 9 hours of our campaign, which is pretty good! Thanks, everyone. I’m very tired, but I’ll be back to scream about my new game tomorrow.

Hey, if you live in the Indy area you should come play my new game with me! I will give you candy! 🌵

We are LESS THEN TEN DAYS from the launch of Sands of Crime on Kickstarter. If you’re into colorful, small box card games crafted by silly goblins, I hope you’ll give us a follow. Link in the following post 🌵

Y’all don’t understand how long I’ve been pitching this.

Let’s be honest, the biggest issue with the original Ocarina of Time is that players couldn’t make out Link’s individual eye brow hairs. Thrilled to see this has been fixed.

Ocarina of Time Remake better have Funky Mode 😤

I’ve gained a ton of new followers so I thought I’d do a little reintroduction. Hey, I’m Ben 👋 I’m a full time teacher who moonlights as a games journalist and board game designer. My wife and I run Radish Games here in Indy. Our new game is called Sands of Crime. I love Donkey Kong and hate AI.
