Love the sound of this!

(also, it suddenly is now dark outside when I wake up in the morning and I'm now in SAD mode)

Who's excited for spooky season? 🎃✋

Who's also struggling with SAD and and feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of small tasks to juggle every day? ✋✋

If you're interested in a tiny game that encourages mutual accountability through hexing your friends, keep a sharp eye out here next week... 👀

No AI is used in any of my games. You can find this Human Made icon on everything I make.

Really great icon pack by Hinokodo

Hinokodo @hinokodo.com · 12h

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!

@stonemaiergames.com

the human made icons in the pack. free to use of course.

an example shown on a book. (specifically TUMULUS by Exeunt Press)

@games.mothspire.com creates games for transformation. I love "The Old Ways Must Go," which asks us to reexamine our rituals, refresh those that still matter, and to let go of those that do harm. And "The Optimist's Guide to Tarot" just speaks for itself!

In case you weren't aware, I occasionally do sick kickflips with this little tech deck on my desk.

This knowledge will either slightly improve your view of me or significantly worsen it

Deck deck skateboard with black wheels and gold trucks. There is an illustration of a deer and has the text "born to frolic world is a meadow love em all 1989 I live for strawbs"
