Love seeing Venusian Vegas out in people's hands 🥰
So here is my final haul from PAXU minus the 4 games I couldn't fit in my luggage but are getting shipped to me. The games missing are Mythical Dice, Covenant, Phoenix New Horizon, and Unmatched Vol 1. Also there are two games that were bought as gifts for friends. 20 games purchased overall for me

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 🧵 🎲✂️

I sincerely hope people will check out this year's Indie Games Night Market at Pax Unplugged! I covered nine of the games that will be featured there, each of which has something to recommend it. With any luck, some of them will be picked up by publishers or continue to be sold by their creators.
@danthurot.bsky.social returning from last year has done incredible write-ups of so many of the games that will be available at the market!

Dan has an uncanny ability to capture the very spirit of the things he critiques.

We’re so so lucky to have such a skilled writer on our backs!!

When I submitted my game to @dnlnwmn.bsky.social for consideration in the #paxunplugged Indie Games Night Market I had no idea what I was getting into. Publishing my first game has been challenging, rewarding, and fun. But, the support of the indie community is easily the #1 highlight. Much excite!
A healthy indie scene is vital for the future of our medium.

The low barrier to indie publication lets designers explore, develop, and share a strong idea that traditional publishers aren’t ready for yet, and then inspire ideas in traditional publishing.

Let’s all support indies together!!

There's a lot that gets me upset about this administration, but... 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

He's obviously a vile POS, but additionally, no one challenges him on it. They just continue to ask questions like nothing happened. The combination has me boiling.

In addition to about 80 copies of Venusian Vegas The Card Game for the Indie Games Night Market, I've just delusionally packed about 30 others to get played at #paxu this week. Whatcha think?

"A great example of using trick-taking in a slightly unconventional way and blending it together with the spirit of other types of games."

"If you like a lot of game, a lot of gears turning all in a small package, and throwing in the element of trick-taking, then this is one for you to check out."
We’re thrilled to share our Special Presentation; Indie Games Night Market Preview!
It was a privilege to be part of this & share these games with you all~

🎲✂️

Recommendations, please 🙏

I'm interested in custom d13 (or d14 if I have to compromise) to mimic the cards in a standard poker deck (2-10, J, Q, K, A) in different colors/patterns such that each dice is exactly 1 suit. I've come across a few that aren't an exact fit.

🎲✂️ question

Is there a tool somewhere that I could input a custom deck of cards (something like 5 suits of 10 instead of 4 of 13) that would output poker hand probabilities?
