This is our current project, "Here be Dragons". We're taking it to protospiel '26 July 10-12 at the Reno, NV Ragecon event (Reno Area Gaming Expo). www.ragecon.com is an amazing local event in its 11th year! If you happen to be in the area, come by and meet us!
This is where my daughter, wife, and i work on boardgames together. This will hopefully someday be our first published game.🤞
I'm at a Vindys concert tonight and if you don't know this band - you should.

I had a chance to sit down with Alan Ernstein at RAGECon this weekend (in addition to playing a couple of his games, too!) And I've got to say it was a wonderful experience. He gave us some advice about game development as a set of skills that require individual practice.

Third live playtest with the new streamlined card draw. I was concerned not having a card market would limit player choice on dragon evolution, and i suppose it does, but the players don't see it. They draw four and keep two each round. Small choices, still lots of variation.

Tweaked the rules for our game based on yesterday's feedback and some advice from a pro designer. If you compare days, you'll notice the card market is gone. It's been replaced with a streamlined deck-to-hand mechanism that literally saved minutes per round!

@mattleacock.bsky.social I hope i get a chance to meet you in person at @ragecon.bsky.social and thank you for the many many hours of forbidden island, desert, and pandemic we have played.
Alas, I could not find a slot to play your games there, as I was already full.

Weak-kneed, rancid-jello spine, surrender-monkeys: 24 million people needed you to have their back. 4 million desperately so.
What did you do all this for?
They didn't budge because they knew you'd give up.

I've played Garage Rock three times at protospiel events and it's a wonderful game. You all play packs of teenagers in the Big Hair era trying to break into the big time. It's a blast. Really looking forward to this one!

Get your music aired from Johnny Law’s pirate radio station treehouse then prepare for the Battle of the Bands!

Only morons believe this.
That party-line republican budget has loaded our economic pipeline with a payload of middle and low income pain.
Minimally, I expect democrats not to approve a CR for this smoking pile of fecal matter.
All GOP is doing is moving up the timeline on these mass firings.

I'm already deeply disillusioned with the democratic party. But if they fold on this shutdown because the admin threatens to fire people they already aim to fire ... I'm done with them. We need a new party.
