Hi! Check this out! I worked on a thing for it!
We’re 200% funded overnight! Thanks to everyone who has pledged or shared the project across socials and with friends. We’re pushing for the teaching pack today. The funding will allow @culliope.bsky.social and @ichistorian.bsky.social to finish their brilliant project to the highest standard.

To date INSPIRISLES has introduced sign language to over 15,000 players who have most likely run the game for friends, family, or students. It makes us immensely proud that an indie RPG has had such a far-reaching educational and social impact. We can’t wait to conclude the trilogy this summer!

Bug is the best! Check out their games. Playing a game run by Bug is always going to be a good time!
Bug Boll (they/them) is our events manager spending most of their time on the road at conventions or running TTRPG events. In 2024, they had Kobolds Ate My Baby Orange Book release as well as Are You My Kobold? Then their first solo design, Sentai & Sensibility debuted! #9LGLegends

Dev Log 3 is out and mostly covers final touches on A Construct's Nature, like adding alt text and creating extra digital resources... and finding a way to hopefully save ~$10 international shipping for card decks.

If you have never been to an Unpub event, I strongly recommend it. It is my new favorite thing!
How should you prepare for pitching your board game at Feedback Frenzy?

I'm back from #Unpub and distilled my notes into 10 tips for making your pitch as good as it can be. If I were to pitch a game, this is the checklist I would use to prepare: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/how-to-pit...

I participated in a panel discussion on how to help break screen dependency in young people. We focused a lot of our attention on introducing analog in-person activities that promote imaginative play. At least two people cheered when I mentioned TTRPGs.

I really enjoyed Wicked & Dune Part Two.

I am not sure if I enjoy #wrestling, or if I just enjoy being on social media when other people are enjoying wrestling.

If you're at #gamaexpo and looking for great games that you may not have heard of that would rule for schools and library programs- go no further than The Vibe by @jacobjaskov.bsky.social at Uloomi games, and Hasty Baker & House Hounds by GoChuckle (not on bsky). Strongly recommend both!
February 25, 2025 at 11:48 PM
Had an amazing time at #GamaExpo! Met so many amazing games designers, publishers, and retailers! So many great conversations from just two days. Cannot wait to see what comes from this!
February 25, 2025 at 9:13 PM
I got to do this! It ruled!
just had an absolute blast playing wanderhome w folks at gama, including convincing a withered wurm to take its heart back beneath a perpetual party-bridge and making amends with a blind jackal-warrior in a wind shelter along a tornado alley

I had a wonderful experience tonight at #gamaexpo. Seeing so many creative people showing off their games is incredible. So many amazing games!

Best part of a con? Meeting so many other people who are unafraid to love a thing. People who don't need to 'win', who just want to do the thing they love and help others also love that thing.
