In addition to day job, Eurydice and a family, I am now also running a convention with 4 friends. I am a glutton for punishment.

Som GUI updates now that almost all the new art for Mechromancers is done! Trying to make sure it’s as clean as it can be before sending in that big order!

Nothing enormous - but I did get sent the proofs of Sjandiva, the latest puzzle book (disguised as a travel guide!).

Late orders still welcome! www.kickstarter.com/projects/166...

Amazing! Congrats Patrick! (and to @restorationgames.bsky.social‘s point, we normally do 400 copy runs of FlickFleet - and have only managed 6 print runs 🤣)

Zombology started out with a similar theme - then went silly.

Checking sizing on my black and white printer before getting some color prints made. This is the prototype of my latest chocolate game.

A really important video this one. Most of us (like me) are doing this around a day job, which normalises crazy hours. Which is not good for our mental health and massively increases the risk of burnout.

Matthew Dunstan @matthewdunstan.bsky.social · 14h

Today's video was a hard one for me to make - I wanted to talk about my experiences going through burnout in the last year or so as a game designer, and aspects of the wider tabletop industry that contribute to that.

Another great #NewcastlePlaytest. 11 of us and I got to play Coalescence and try the new roll and write with other people for the first time.
