Thanks! Looking her up

Thank you! Added to the list

Thank you! Just what I meant!

And yeah, I could just google that or ask an AI bot. Not interested in that. I'm interested in characters that connected with real people.

I want to hear about women whose stories are still told; ideally not as cautionary tales or martyrs. Looking for some happily every after here.

Real game design ✂️🎲 question

We in the US are familiar with many fairytale princesses - mostly drawn from European folklore.

I'd love to know more about similar characters from other cultures. Not just female characters in stories, but heroic/mythic people who are women. Royalty optional.

Stand back; I'm doin' game design tonight!

Could I?

Maaaybe...

WOULD I?

Nawh. We're all full up on bassoons here.

I need to remember to stop using cursive for notes to others. It’s not a comment on my penmanship. Also not a complaint. #anachronism

Now I'm wondering whether I did better than expected because I've learned to "squint to 20/20" with regards to color differences. I do literally have to concentrate and change my viewing angles to make better guesses about colors.

Very surprising because I too am profoundly colorblind. This isn't about identifying colors though. It's just discerning very small differences. If you asked me to name the colors as they came up, I'd be SOL.

We are on home turf this weekend. 🇨🇦

Boardssey will be at TCTC in Vancouver, and Anca and Luis would love to meet fellow Canadian tabletop creators.

I don't write many original jokes, but I'm proud of this one

Snowwhite&7dwarves is a great password.
It meets all the rules and it's only 8 characters.

Eye of Newt and a Cauldron Full of Tricks: A 3 Witches Card Game Review 3 Witches is a trick-taking game that knows exactly what it is and it's not trying to wedge itself into any other area. No silly solo mode attempt or no compromises to attempt larger player counts. As...

Thank you so much @wademonnig.bsky.social at There Will be Games for this masterful summary of the 3 Witches play experience. I sometimes discount how the partner/no-partner dynamic changes the play.

Much appreciated!

It appeals to my sense of organization. The whiteboard feature is important enough to me to justify going with the Pathfinder tier.

Unpub folks: if I bring my one-shot story game version of Paranoia this weekend, would you try it?

I think I’ve finally figured out the right order in which to present the rules of my game. Just tried it and it went better than any previous time.

Only took 2 years to figure it out

Gets caught up in the mechanism

And brokers who break everything

I am HERE for beeples! Our hobby needs more beeples!

Will do! Chatting with Anca just now on the site. Really digging it.

One of many reasons I adore @bagleycartoons.bsky.social - how many US Political Cartoonists would ref That Mitchell and Webb Look's "Are we the baddies" sketch?

I’m giving @boardssey.bsky.social a go for my next 2 projects. I’ll let you know what I think.

Setup was easy. That’s a good start

So nice to hear! That exhaustion feels familiar.

It was my first time attending. Wonderful seeing so many industry friends.

I came with no designs to pitch, but left with two products to develop for companies with whom I’ve wanted to work.

So fun!

I used the 2 custom (blank) hazard tiles.

First one grants a super weapon.

Second one is a speed bump. It’s a road tile, but it acts the same as a Blast Off damage token. IF you happen to land on a road space post flight, you still get the road bonus.

Ahem

Why didn’t any of you tell me CorelDRAW is available for Macs?

Point being that I'm fed up with idiots drowning out or intimidating the most competent people based on self-aggrandizement and chutzpah
