If I were a big name publisher, I'd keep a close eye on this bundle. These games deserve to be in literally every household. They are so joyful and full of life! Please check out this project when it goes live and share with a friend or two!

Played our game Chicken Fried Dice with the lovely @425suzanne.bsky.social ! 😍 It was very endearing to have them play the game we've put in so much love into!

Played Club Spooky by @connor.alwaysawake.games which I believe you've played! Always a treat!

Also played the new Magical Athlete! Solid!

Big fan of this one. It's silly af though. Also, meaner than a lot of cube rail games!

Lol doesn't matter!

Looking forward to seeing what you're creating!

Rex looked, and felt awesome

Curious to see what you plan on shaping that last 10% or so with Hench!

What next events/conventions are you planning on attending?

I love their channel!
It is so funny how simple everything can look when you break it down the way they do!

Michelle Wu. Zohran Mamdani. Francesca Hong. James Talarico. Kat Abughazaleh. Plenty of smart, passionate, progressive candidates/rising stars are out there. Support their reelection and ascent to positions of higher impact.

Don’t mourn the Democratic Party we have.

Build the one we want.

Hehe Wendy's would be something!

It gets fairly loud there, even on Wednesdays with all their programming. If that is an issue for you, I can see what I can do to assist with noise reduction, but otherwise, we can also look to Blue Highway in future months at the very least!
Hope to meet u soon!

Sorry we didn't meet!
Next time!

We also meet on Wednesday evenings outside of industry night at Cafe Mox in Ballard. Roughly around the same time!

Thanks everyone who came to the PaxWest Game Market! And thank you to all the designers and the Pax enforcers who wrangled the crowds! I’m so glad there continues to be a demand for this.

I’m sure I’ll do a recap post at some point, but for now I’m wiped.
