Excited for tomorrow, we are starting an Eldritch Horror League, the challenge of cooperative and personal achievement! Plus my number 1 favourite game for the last 11 or so years. Thanks @psycorey.bsky.social, @valancedbreakfast.bsky.social and everyone else involved for a great game! Wish us luck

Happy start of winter day everybody in the Northern hemisphere. And happy start of summer day to everyone in the southern hemisphere!

That's another game sent out, fingers crossed they like it! #gamedesign #boardgamedesign #tabletopgames #boardgames

It's about that time of year where I watch an episode or two a day of tabletop on the run upto Xmas. It's my version of an advent calendar! Thanks wil wheaton and @feliciaday.bsky.social and everyone else for the great work you did back then! youtu.be/X9QtdiRJYro?... #boardgames #tabletop

In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, a spaceship explodes killing everyone on board because the engineer who was supposed to fix it, rather than checking his work, uses a device called an Electric Monk to reassure him that it's fine. That's ChatGPT that is.

Tomorrow is game night, its going to be Unfathomable! I'm terrible at being the traitor and human, @psycorey.bsky.social there's a built in superpower secret card ibca use right? Right??

A game project is getting close to being ready to send to publisher. I just need to channel the spirits of my favourite game designers for the last few bits on it...so if any designers out there feel a weird pull on their brain, it's just me! #boardgamedesign #gamedesign #tabletopgames #tabletop

A small cornucopia of games lined up for later today, after work...

@samgregorstewart.bsky.social played the Arkham Horror RPG and fun was had, but there's a question. What happens when a character/monster has taken all damage (so no dice pool left), but before they get to strain themselves (to tale an injury and clear it all ofd) they take more damage?

Today, to help unblock some creative block my wife challenged me to make a game with one keyword. An hour later; I have a quick, simple 2 player card game about rainbows. More testing and it might be a decent little game. #boardgamedesign #boardgame #tabletopgamedesign #tabletopgames #tabletop
