I’m a freelance boardgame designer/developer, and between gigs I worked on a cozy 2p game called High Tide—which I just got signed by Underdog Games!!

After the event, Underdog will have their own production of the game.

Awesome thread, I'll follow everyone and their projects!

I am also working on a few games that I think are cool. I have a deck construction game that I'd love to find curious playtesters for.
I'm a game designer, I both self publish and sometimes hand craft my games, my next one is here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atikingames/malushortus

If only teleporters were a thing... :-p
I started my own games company this year - Party Snail Games. We are all about helping people slow down and have some fun, through accessible and quick-to-learn games ❤️

I'm a teacher and a D and D forever DM. I do little one shot murder mystery capers with pre-made characters for game nights for kids and adults.
I'm also writing an "oops, all puzzles" book to help people with their RPG adventures.
I made a game for antibiotoc use education called Empiric which is PnP and POD with lots of different versions. It was a finalist at games for change:

More versions and new #MedEd boardgames on the horizon.
I am a high school game dev teacher (yes it's a real job, there are hundreds of us, HUNDREDS!) who is working on a new TTRPG.

I'd love to see a pre-intro intro try to explain how it feels to play, before you go into specifics about the overal flow of the rules. :-)
I don't think you can really summarise the game on the box front.
At best imo, you can allude to the intended experience and encourage people to look at the box back.

Trying my hardest to hit a 300 YouTube subscribers milestone by the end of year.
I love covering smaller indie games.
I’m designing two new games and also wrapping up my first successful crowdfunding project right now. :)
I'm working on a storytelling card game as well. 🌿

Do you have a website of the wearable games you made/are working on?
You can find out more on https://www.dungeonescape.se
The page is a WIP and new things will be added soon, like tutorials. The general idea of the game is already there if you wanna know what it is.
There is a way to test it. PM me if thats the case.
I am currently working on a cosy witch ttrpg using the basic role-playing system. Learn new spells and potions to heal people’s hearts and the world around you!
We do full board game playthroughs with an emphasis on showing good friends at the table having fun with the game together! (As opposed to super crunchy analysis and perfect strategy)

I hope you're having fun in a very different corner to me! :-)

How do you decide which games to stock? :-)
I get a mix of the classics and the hot new things, do a little rain dance to the board game gods and then just wait to see what happens!
My 'Kitty Cataclysm' and noisy creature series seem to do fairly well. :-)
It’s called “Miro Keller’s Lil’ Ninja”! Out early 2025 (I hope)
Set collection and contract fulfilment with rainbow buses!
I advocate for games & play in libraries & classrooms. I run gaming events at my library & manage circulating games collections. If you need help doing these things in your library, contact me!

I’m thinking about getting into boardgame photography. Want to get more involved with boardgame community.
Meeple Like Us. Great resource.

I also have plans to do more coverage of some of the amazing things in VR I'm seeing these days!
I also help others create and set up their discords.
I do some light rulebook help on the side as well as helping to generate ideas for solo modes
Attached are world maps inspired by #freddiemercury 's own #fantasy world, The 7 Seas of Rhye. The map itself is based on the #Queen logo.
Feel free to use for your own #ttrpg setting.

I'm a freelance web dev, so we'll definitely be offering website development.
Designer portfolio, publisher page, webshop, blog? We'd love to work with anyone in the board game space 👌
We'd love to offer that as a service one day.

Recommendation of Path to Carcosa still stands tho!
I’m slowly - very slowly - offering rulebook editing services to more clients. You can check my work in recent 3WS titles like Charcuterie.
If anyone is interested in talking shop, please send a DM.
I also design games! I make one-page crafting sims/solitaire games, as well as designing a skirmish game called Lyctor!

If you decide any of my games might work well for use in schools, I can send stuff over at a nominal price (to cover postage, and some of the printing).
Did you use a foreign language version to help teach languages?
Or, it not... what were you teaching? :-)
I'll take a closer look later, but I've passed on your page of research and literature links to our Speech and Language Team at my school 👍

I work as a game photographer/videographer in the industry and I offer a myriad of services! I do a little bit of everything from lifestyle shoots, creative photography, product photography, cinematic trailers, and more!
I design games. For cool stuff, I have an interactive Mid/heavy-weight Euro game coming out next year with @flopiano.bsky.social and @ospreygames.bsky.social about the origin myth of the Inca. It features beautiful art from @ianotoole.bsky.social which I look forward to folks seeing.

Here's my portfolio: https://sites.google.com/view/robert-pleasant-portfolio/tabletop-gaming
Here's a playlist of games I've played on stream, and I'll soon be experimenting with learning to play games on Board game Arena on stream using their tutorials
I also play video games on stream, especially those that take tabletop ideas and use them in ways that would be harder on a table top (like deckbuilders where your cards gain additional powers over time)
I’m not tabletop, but I can be played on table tops! And stairs! And couches! And chairs!
Just starting to get out there in the world and tired of getting beat down by the algorithm.🫥
Anything and everything helps!
Appreciate you 🙏🏻
