World’s Edge is fantastic, can’t wait for it to find a home with a publisher

My puzzle board game Herd will be published as a physical product in April. Expect a big 124-page fully illustrated book of challenges + 6 playing figurines + the classic Letibus plastic sheet, all packed in a box. Join my newsletter to be notified about the release: mailchi.mp/0ea8882f064d...

Working on the cover for Heyanome. 🧩✂️ 🎲✂️

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

There's a game called High Tide, designed by @marcelineleiman.bsky.social, which has been building word of mouth, though only a few (handmade) sets exist. The 1st time I played it, I asked to play again 9 more times. I reject 99.9% of prototypes, to say nothing of asking to play again. 🎲✂️🧵(1/x)

Trump's sports ban EO is now live. You can find it here. I'm going to, as I have done in previous nights, go line by line and explain it for all of you here. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

there are doctors in Alabama who told those banning this care to go fuck themselves and come arrest them. disappointing to see cowards in California caving so easily.

Heyanome is a great puzzle system! Check it out for free 👀

Disgusting. ABSOLUTELY disgusting.

Not gonna lie I did kinda expect our Democratic politicians to have something like a plan to counter the 920-page detailed fascist blueprint that was published in April 2023

Hello old and new friends.

This is a very weird time to try to exist as an adult. Everything is on fire, the current administration is doing its best to destroy the basis of our scientific advancement over the past 75 years, but sure, let me teach you how to not contaminate your bacterial samples...

My card game Downtown Las Palmas is going through development with Button Shy Games right now! I'm super excited for how it's coming along. If you are interested in helping make the game the best it can be, there is a playtest from 1/26 - 2/9 on Discord! You can join here: discord.gg/vMSGZ6n2BU

I haven't put in the time to finish adding this to all my little games, but this is the icon pack I have used on many of my games to show you that the things I make are human-made, because they are! 💖 Wouldn't it be cool if your projects had these icons, too? 🤩

Want dozens and dozens of puzzles? You have until the end of the month to join the Sunome Puzzles Patreon as a paid member to get access to all the puzzles I have posted there over the last year before I take them down. 🎲✂️ 🧩✂️ www.patreon.com/c/SunomePuzz...

Not normally a solo gamer, but I picked up Exoship for the theme and really like the tight little logic puzzle - barely lost on my first play @weheart.games @ksylves.bsky.social

Today is the last day of the sale!

Really good game that pulls off the incredible feat of being narratively satisfying in only 18 cards.

this is a good game

This was an awesome playthrough and review of my solo mode for Trekking the World second edition! 🌍 Purple Moose has such an insightful analysis and perspective on solo modes—highly recommend his channel! ✨

Really cool preview of my game by Board Stupid! 😍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRlY...

Automatic opt-ins for stuff like this should be illegal.

double bassist Orin O'Brien was the first women ever to play full-time with the NY Phil (in 1966) - there is a new documentary about her on Netflix called The Only Girl in the Orchestra. Excited to check it out!

Looking for a last minute holiday gift? Grab a cozy logic puzzle book from SunomePuzzles.com 🎲✂️ 🧩✂️

This is an excellent app for tracking your board game plays - the creators seem super cool and are constantly working to improve it and add features. Well worth the price

I didn’t really see the appeal of solo tabletop gaming until I discovered 18-card games. It just didn’t seem worth it to go get out a game and set it up just to play by myself. 🧵

Some people got very pissy with me for saying that their Harry Potter addictions were directly funding transphobia but my point still stands: if you're still spending money on this crap, it is going towards hate & you need to deal with that. www.pajiba.com/politics/you...

Made a rough mockup of how the inner ring segments would need to rotate as La Oruga increases thrust. Note that the whole ring would be constantly rotating for spin gravity... I didn't animate that part. 🎲✂️ #ExoVerse #ExoShip #BetweenTheStars

Happy to share a little game that I designed Glass Garden on kickstarter now, being published by Button Shy, with gorgeous art by @kwanchai.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/239...

I just backed Glass Garden by @dopamineisdope.bsky.social, with art by @kwanchai.bsky.social ...! This looks like a delightful little wallet game:
