I’ve been having undue anxiety about getting enough stuff ready for GAMA. I’ll have Fish Tank 🐠 , Magic Show 🪄 , Safe n Snug 🐧 , Thirst for Knowledge 📕 , Two Lines of Tulips 🌷 , (5 games to pitch) plus some prototypes. I need to remind myself that’s enough. It’s enough dammit.

I guess I've checked another box on the professional game designer checklist. Having a signed game returned to you unpublished. I'm a bit sad, I don't doubt it will be signed again. Just a matter of who, but still... back to the pitching process taking time away from new games that need to be shown.

🎲✂️ How many game designs can you work on at once... like you are touching and adjusting once per week, before it's too many for you to handle? Asking for a "friend"...

I just checked the BGG list of games to look forward to at GAMA this year, and Wine Cellar 🍷🍾 is number 4 with 60 thumbs! which is truly amazing and I'm so thankful. 🎲✂️ If you haven't yet given it a thumb and wouldn't mind, I'd be so thankful if you did. boardgamegeek.com/geekpreview/...

TantrumCon was amazing this year. The people that run it are amazing! I got to see so many people I already enjoy and met so many others I will start looking forward to seeing again next year. I love that it's a con I can look forward to in January every year.

In the last week I have worked on UX design on 6 different new game designs. The numbers say that only two of them will survive. I’m curious which two. Hmmmm.

Grant Lyon does such a great job with these videos. Here's his top 10 anticipated games for 2025, and he's kind enough to mention my game Wine Cellar at #2! Amazing! I'm blown away and so happy. I can't wait for everyone to be able to play my game. youtu.be/t5_BkIK1Ucs?...

I took all of December off from Game Design, and now it's a bit hard to get back into the rituals. I keep finding other things to work on, but I'm feeling guilty about lack of design progress now. Like today I built my new Office Chair, Cleaned and Organized the office. It's Different Progress.

Random thought: is Grey, the color of Greytness? The G.O.A.T of colors? The Greytest of all time?

Took 2 full weeks off to disconnect & travel. I didn’t think about game design once until the flight home. A true vacation. We did play Forest Shuffle and Flip 7 for fun though.

@kristenmott.bsky.social and I have a new game design. That people keep asking to play. It’s such a good feeling to not have to ask people to Playtest your game. 🎲✂️
