Part 3 is here. The deep dive into the Ennies. If you're someone who doesn't know much about the Ennie Awards, you should read parts 1 and 2. But if you like a bit of inside baseball and are interested in award shows in general—this is the article for you.

Maybe YOU hear static. Are you sure you're not the cryptid?

Yeah, you should really leverage your spend to increase synergy.

Of course be agile in your requirements while you downsize your core intent.

Created in a day for the RPG Jamboree: Vikings & Myths I'm proud to present a new Pine Shallows adventure.

Can you save the Viking Longship Museum while also giving viking ghost Bjorn Snaggletooth a proper viking funeral?

A very dirty version from a bad photo, but meet Bjorn Scraggletooth, viking ghost.

Hope to redo this properly on my home scanner.

A game I've been eagerly awaiting play reports from is In the Margins: my meta-solo journaling game.

The game is small: a bookmark. You play it with the journal of a previous game. You're annotating it in the margins, correcting, redacting or just being angry!

I backed this as quickly as I could.

It looks so good. Emiel is knocking it out of the ballpark with this one.

I still have a game that's very much a WIP stack of notes that I still want to finish one day, if only to be able to commission all the great artists that would fit the theme of the game.

(working title: The Forevernever, the portal world version of my Pine Shallows game)

One day!

I hate I have to drive an hour back and forth to pick up the package because DHL, whose core business is driving around with packages, can't move this package because it was sent by a business client, and I'm not their client
