Last night I decided to make a bundle for #zinequest #zinemonth of small, handmade #TTRPG zines I've had made for a bit.
Thought it'd be a fun little venture. It'll go live in 10ish days. Check it out below.

The dark underbelly of the board game hobby
I've seen some fun prototypes (not my own) become pretty bland games by chasing that µ.
As a game designer, you may have to fall in love with what you're making to make it well.
But then remember there's a broad distribution of opinion about each game, and now you're likely on its positive tail.
Now you're at risk of going blind to what folks elsewhere in the distribution think.
