Is the manuscript publicly available...? It sounds like something I'd love to read.

A tree made of a tangle of branches with a small stream flowing beneath dropping down to a small puddle surrounded by colourful leafy foliage in a forest

Colourful nature

One of the deadly sins of the game designer...

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

Still giving your money to WOTC is a fucking wild choice. You are funding someone who is ok with full throated transphobia.

Chris Cocks believes you should just separate the art from the artist, which is impossible when the art directly funds transphobia.

I AM A MUSEUM OF EVERYTHING I'VE LOVED

I wrote a Designer Diary for my upcoming game, Hard Drive, available now on BGG.

Hard Drive was certainly a journey, and now you can read about it and some of the lessons I learned from this experience! boardgamegeek.com/thread/36732...

Forest Sky is excellent; I recommend

- Dissect the games you play/see. Why does it work? How would you improve it? (Warning: It’s very hard to turn it off)
- Keep an eye on what games are currently popular.
- Learn about older games and boardgames.
- Make prototypes.
- Participate in game jams.
- 𝗗𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀!

🥰🥰🥰 thats so great, thanks for telling me; you just made my day.

OK SECOND BEST REASON TO BE LATE

😮🥰

Right?? I’m floored.

A friend dropped of her son just now to hang out with my son and when she came into the kitchen she said, "So, the reason we are late is actually... #Crownfell. We just recently got it and the kids were playing it and didn't want to stop."

BEST REASON TO BE LATE EVER

A colorful podcast cover with diagonal rainbow stripes and small white sparkles in the background. Large black text at the top reads “Proud to Gayme,” with smaller text below saying “by Tabletop Gaymers.” Two purple, meeple-shaped silhouettes wearing black headphones face each other. At the center bottom is a black, twenty-sided die-shaped microphone icon with white text reading “Episode #23” and “Marceline Leiman"

We chat with Marceline Leiman (she/her), a game designer, educator, & award winner. Marceline shares her journey from labeling herself as an ally to coming out as trans femme. We discuss the nuance among queer identities & experiences & using game design contests to challenge herself

Board game design is self-care, for me.

Five up-and-coming designers to know These five newcomer designers are doing fascinating things in board games.

I wrote about five of interesting up-and-coming game designers in Don't Eat the Meeples this week — it was hard to cap the list at five, so I guess this is something I'll be revisiting. (My criteria for up-and-coming — no games released more than five years ago.)
