I'll be at UKGE next week! Friday afternoon I will be demoing my upcoming game L'Oaf at the playtest zone. See you there?

My playtest session for tonight got cancelled, so I joined a regular game evening instead. Most games we played were outside of my normal zone of interest. It was a nice reminder of how inspiring it can be to look beyond my own interest, to see what others enjoy in games that don't 'do it' for me.

TTGDA and @gamaofficial.bsky.social have released a white paper on tariffs to answer a lot of frequently asked questions, like how the declared cost is calculated, country of origin determined, and more. Please spread to help us combat disinformation. www.ttgda.org/press

The artist (Jason Gamber) and graphic designer (Ruud Nederpelt) are working hard to bring my next game L'Oaf to life. Its such an amazing process to see them take my ugly prototype and turn it into something so pretty. And this isn't even its final form!
