If you happen to be in Boston next week I'll be part of a design panel chatting about the choices I made in my upcoming ttrpg, Black Flies! There was also a game running afterwards, but it looks like that sold out: www.eventbrite.com/e/game-desig...

Wish I could attend, but I freaking adore making games accessable and talking UX! It's why I started my own studio. Would love hear more accessibility tips you got!

The best part of the day is when I leave my work to go work on more work (but it's games, so I like it)

Catching the last bit of summer at the chess club cookout!

It's crazy to think how this group grew when I started it a couple of years ago. Now it runs Thursdays, pickleball on Tuesdays, and have fun outings like. It's crazy the community that can develop just by playing games ♟️♥️
