I discovered an old college paper where I forgot a closing parenthesis. Which means everything I've written in my entire career has been one giant aside. Including this post.

You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few sections of the Constitution, dozens of laws, reams of judicial orders, and most basic human rights.

Last Wednesday two things happened to me that were exciting in the exact same way: the tariff announcements and 12 hours of intense food poisoning.

Google’s Gemini is like a 3 year-old trying to help with brain surgery. And you can’t make them leave.

The number of times a day I tell websites/apps that I’m not interested in their AI offering has to be 8. Stop trying to make fetch a thing

Weird plot twist. Three negative covid tests over 36 hours. 8 days past my first symptoms. And 10 since exposure. My flight for Gen Con leaves in a few hours I’ll still be masked.

I have Covid and unfortunately will miss Gen Con this year. Please buy 8-10 of my games.

As of this week, I've been a professional game designer for 25 years. Thank you all for liking (most of) the things I make.

Yay! @jridpath.bsky.social just picked up Ticket To Ride Legacy: Legends Of The West from 401 Games. My kidlit author/illustrator pal & fellow boardgamer Kevin Sylvester aka @kevinarts.bsky.social & family were playtesters! #boardgames #tickettoride cc: @robdaviau.bsky.social

Back from two weeks in Italy, including my first visit to Lucca Games. What a whirlwind.

I’m glad the manhunt in Maine is over so we can back to aggressively not doing anything to make anything better.

Today is the day some annoyed driver shouted out "Need some help crossing the street old man?" because I wasn't sprinting across the parking lot and he had to wait two seconds.

The new look of Slack was designed by the damned. I can't look at it without my brain hurting.

My cousin’s four year-old called their board game collection “box games” and I’m pretty sure that’s a better term.

Gen Con was fantastic and I'm home and exhausted and staring vacantly.

This Gen Con has been amazing. Exhausting, yes. But amazing.

I decided to start redesigning Seafall tonight. Enough time has passed for me to look at it with fresh eyes. I cut so so so much stuff right off the bat. I don't know of if there's a market for it, but I need to do it for myself.
