Hello everyone! My name’s Wyatt. I’m a lifelong gamer, ADHD-haver, and just in the last few years, a dad!

I write articles on gaming, run a happy little gaming community called Sprites and Dice, and love sharing my hobbies and passions with others who like them too! Let’s be friends.
Stuff like this is why I love PAX U.
I attended one of the #RPG Designer Meet & Greet session at #PAXUnplugged this year and saw some interesting games! #CardGame #TTRPG #TabletopGames #PAXU

Thank you to @brianliberge.bsky.social for the reminder and glad to meet @bizzy-brie.bsky.social & @kyngvee.bsky.social while I was there! 💖

A little update to the yearly article I write about con crash!

Hope anyone who went to PAX Unplugged is being kind to themselves this week.
With another PAX Unplugged done, we’ve updated our yearly guide to con crash with some more information, and some new resources from the lovely @guardiansmh.bsky.social nonprofit.

We hope it helps con goers as we all catch up on sleep!

No, sorry, I have more to say about this episode because I constantly think about the character who was unable to even walk on their own without the Dot telling them which way to go.

Because now we have people asking ChatGPT how to make small talk, what to eat, what to wear.

We. Are. Cooked. 😐

I love going to PAX U, but there really is nothing like your own bed, your own kitchen, your own family, and getting some massive hugs from your kid when you make it through the door.

Because they won’t do it himself—I’M BLASTING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS.

@walle132.bsky.social is in need of some mutual aid to cover some expenses and survival needs. I’d be here for days trying to encapsulate how beautiful of a person WallE is, but please consider helping if you can. 🖤

We had such an amazing time playing the SCIRE mega game at #PAXUnplugged! Based on CBR+PNK and run by @mythworks.bsky.social, it was a massive ttrpg of 60+ players who had to try and survive, get transformed, forced to change teams, and tons of other surprises. Absolutely worth the experience.

Thank you to everyone who spoke with us to help make it special for our writers and community. Thank you to all the exhibitors and special guests that make the convention what it is, and THANK YOU to all who put it together!

Already excited for next year.

From the Sprites and Dice community discord. They started taking bets if we were going to start going home on time from PAX U.

I do not deserve such bullying!

Last day of PAX, time to share some amazing booths for last stops!

@asmadigames.bsky.social has some fantastic games like Innovation and Good Puppers, but I had a chance to play Mystical Curling Club, a really fun dexterity game about, well… Curling! Check it out if you can. It’s on Kickstarter!

If you get the chance and you love #ttrpgs, stop by @thoughtcrimegames.bsky.social! We picked up a copy of Community Radio and Griot Anthology, both great small books that are easily packed for the way home!
Day 3 of #PAXUnplugged!! Loving all the great vibes this weekend. We have a few Sunday Specials at Booth 3850 today! And limited copies of #CommunityRadio remaining 🎉 Can't wait to see you all!

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 🧵 🎲✂️

The third day of PAX U is always strange. You don’t want it to end, but you miss your own bed. You want to keep playing and buying new things, but you already probably spent too much. You can’t wait to see your family but don’t want to miss out on meeting new people and friends.

Life’s a paradox.

Had an awesome time at the Indy Games Night Market at #PAXU talking with tons of game designers about so many new board games! It was such a great experience to hear all the pitches and look at the diversity of games! #IGNM

I love gaming conventions because it helps you feel connected to others who share your passions, your hobbies, your interests, but who also help you see things in a different light.

Megagames are one of those special convention things. 60+ all playing the same game differently… It’s just awesome.

It’s been a phenomenal PAX Unplugged, with so many awesome designers, panelists, content creators, booths, games, all of it.

Anxiety’s been high lately for a bunch of reasons, but having some time with friends and a chance to play so many games has been wonderful.

If I can ask y'all for some help, please read & just share the following?

Medical emergencies + 2yrs of unemployment + debt is a hell of a combo.

Any support would be a huge help. So far, through your kindness I've been able to pay off $3k of my $20,000 debt

If you get to the far corner of the #PAXUnplugged expo hall is @absurdistprod.bsky.social and they have an amazing board game called Winter Rabbit. Made by a Cherokee team and written in both Cherokee and English, it’s a semi-cooperative game of surviving winter!

Worth checking out if you can!

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States:

- Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party
- Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children
- Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats

Those are just factual statements.
