It's the most wonderful time of the year: People's Choice Top 200 voting in the 1 Player Guild on BGG! Celebrate solo games with us, they are the best! boardgamegeek.com/thread/37759...
This hurt me.
βThe fact that weβre losing makes me feel happy.β - @ryanschneider.bsky.social during an allegedly cooperative game.
I am an experienced solo gamer, but working on this takes multihanding to a whole new level. π
I have renewed my vow to copy edit very carefully. π±
Itβs funny you say this because I have had several conversations at work (at a board game publisher) where we talk about how our work tables are huge and we need to watch it because games are like aquarium fish that grow to the size of the tank. π
I am from San Antonio, so I will be having a warm Christmas with the family as usual. lol
It's October, we've had some crisp mornings, I made an absolutely killer beef and vegetable soup tonight--only for the weather to betray me! We had a high of 81 today, I didn't come to MN for this.
In other words, a meet poot. π
This video feels a lot like an intense game of Kart! π Less than 24 hours left to back, get in there! bit.ly/KartOnKS
I had a blast podcasting with @stickydoodler.bsky.social this week! Check out our discussion of game design, components you can destroy, and his upcoming PAXU event about unpublishable games! youtu.be/v2XRqXOOpEs?...
9 years ago, I made a life-changing decision...
We're big fans of local Saint Paul band Alligator Orchestra. After hearing songs they wrote about Root, we commissioned them to record a Kart theme song. They came back with "Don't Look Down!", two minutes of raucous pop-punk that's perfect for Kart's reckless downhill races.
With just seven days left for the Kart Kickstarter campaign, we partnered with The Mind Of Guy to tell you a little more about our newest downhill racing game! bit.ly/KartOnKS
For the 250th episode of the podcast, @edbeach23.bsky.social came on to chat about historical board game design, designing for series, and his work on Civ. Also, if you want to know who the best Here I Stand player in the world is... this episode reveals all. youtu.be/9PyhJ7FGxEw?...
Good because this was the encouragement I needed to make one for this week! :)
Update: I finished the whole book in a day and it was awesome. Painful, sad, sometimes embarrassing, sometimes funny, all really great storytelling.
Warm light in the coffee shop, gray weather outside. Perfect reading day.
I will never get over the traffic cone wizard hat. π₯°
