Shout out to Cartman, fellow Coloradan. My attempt at digital illustration is really bringing the "I'll just die if you don't take me to Casa Bonita" energy. #southpark #digitalart #casabonita

Back from our first @originsgamefair.bsky.social with Sample Boxes from @longpack.bsky.social and Boda Games. They're fantastic for seeing the breadth of options from these and other manufacturers. However, they are also a #TTRPG design playground for a 10 year old with a wild imagination.

University kids playtest a social deduction game where they are trying to find out which one of them is possessed. They are pointing fingers, smiling, and concentrating.
