This was the most affecting board game experience of my life, and I don’t see that ever changing. Although I know each person at the table had their own unique response, Dan does an incredible job here of putting words to it.
I don't know how to introduce this one. After three titles about opium peddling, I figured the rest of SDHistCon would be breezy by comparison. I was wrong. The next day, I experienced one of the toughest board games I've ever played. Perhaps *the* toughest. spacebiff.com/2025/11/24/u...

I played this game with Dan and I'm not sure I've ever played a game that was so immediately and successfully impactful.
It's been almost a month and I am still thinking about it.
Deep down it made Stonewall feel like a weak attempt compared to how elegantly its message was communicated via play.

Leaving Philly soon. PAX U, as always was a blast.
Saw many cool friends, had some great meetings with publishers & had the honor of participating in the 2nd Indie Games Night Market.
Humbled by the response to my little paper airplane game and so happy I could share it with so many people! 🌈🛫🎉

Indie Games Market last night was a rousing success!!!!
WOW. I’m so impressed by all of the vendors organization and skill.
I’m sure we’ll be able together get stats from the PAX team, but this year definitely felt way bigger 🧵 🎲✂️

Beyond exhausted after the Indie Games Night Market. I had such a blast and ended up selling out of copies by the end of the event.

The game my son Cahlen is most excited to pick up at Pax!!!
As I wrap up production on copies of Fold & Fly! I was reminded of why I wanted to sell a game at the Indie Games Night Market. Why I'm bothering to go through all this trouble for such a silly game. 🌈🛫

I'm so glad Dan liked Coupon Clipper! (And I appreciate the six-year-old's sacrifice.)
I've also played Fold & Fly! a bunch of times and can vouch for it, it's great silly fun.
Both'll have copies sold at the IGNM this Saturday at PAXU. (And yes Coupon Clipper comes with scissors!)
