does anyone want to be my eccentric patron and pay for all of my living expenses and let me live in your guest house while i toil away making really gay ass games and stories?

@hankgreen.bsky.social I grew up hearing about the hole in the ozone layer and aerosol spray cans being a contributor to that problem. I know we've since done a lot of work to repair the ozone layer, but are aerosol spray cans still bad for the environment and worth avoiding? 🤔

I've got a cribbage game. But not a co-op one yet. That and a co-op mahjong are things I want to do still.

What are ppl's go to printers for card game prototypes? Looking at printing just a few hundred cards. Hoping for a finish and quality similar to standard bicycle playing cards. Anyone have good recommendations for me?

@plex.tv Please dont drop watch together! It is one of the best features Plex has and is wonderful for friends and family you can't be with in person! Whether it's a long distance relationship or friends in different states or countries. This feature is so important. Please don't abandon it!

Yes, please. I learned a lot from making Artisans. Would love to work with you on a new story. :)

Glad you like it! I wanted to create a much more personal adventure story that's more about the characters and how you choose to embody them than the larger plot. And within that, I wanted to not only show some healthy character dynamics, but also remind players to take care of themselves. <3

Uh, hi. Just gained a bunch of followers. Welcome to the escaping twitter club, I guess.

I just had this issue the other day. Dates, City, State, and Venue should be in their banners right at the top of the main page. If I've not heard of the con before and want to learn about it, that's the most important information.

Hope you enjoy it! Did you get the promo with it?

Sorry y'all, I've been struggling with some unknown illness for the past three weeks. I was hoping it would pass in time for Origins, but no luck. I'll have to miss this one.

Who's going to Origins this year? This'll be my first time. What's it like?

Freshly printed prototype of my fighting card game ready for PAX Unplugged. If you're a fan of fighting card games and/or cribbage, find me at the con for a demo. Art by @saltmalk.in

I'm gonna end up at PAXU in a week. I'll be demoing Gloomhaven: Buttons & Bugs if you wanna come by the Cephalofair booth for that. But otherwise I'll just be chilling. Anyone else going? Looking for people to chill with. It's been a while since I've been at a con.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort (and at least one room dedicated to board games).

Thinking about it again, if you have a pentagonal prism, there is a theoretical height the prism could be where the chances when rolling it are roughly equal to land on any of its seven faces. By modifying the meeple shape and thickness, we should be able to make a balanced d7 meeple.

Wish I had something ready so I could hire you. I was just thinking a couple days ago that I'd like to do a narrative game with you.

Nikki Valens @valancedbreakfast.bsky.social · 20/10/2023

I wanna come up with some fun ways to use this. Hmmmmmm, other custom meeple shapes... Damn. I'm intrigued.

Nikki Valens @valancedbreakfast.bsky.social · 20/10/2023

Huh, that's cool. Might need to run a bigger sample size sometime when I've got nothing else to do. It's easy the mark the front and back differently, so that splits the big one into two distinct 35%s. Marking all the side versions is a bit harder, but grouping them gives 25%.

That's about the same level of bad as when they tried to charge me rent for the modem that I bought from a different store.

My partner points out it's a good way to refer to your happy trail.

It's not perfect, but I've done a quick scryfall search that may interest you: scryfall.com/search?q=o%3... Stand out cards, imo: Ruhan of the Fomori, Territorial Hellkite, and Vial Smasher the Fierce

You have Krark's thumb, but not Krark's other thumb. And separately, it's not rolling dice or flipping coins, but Goblin Game has always been good fun.
