Day 1 at TCTC was fantastic. Thank you everyone who already said hi and told me how much you enjoyed ProtoCON BC - it always brightens my day.
Looking forward to another amazing day tomorrow at TCTC!

Jae does not do Parkour, but wishes they could 🤣 they'll be at Demo Drive, doing their best not-parkour
Yes, we're still here on this account!
We're starting the planning process for ProtoconBC 2026! If you want to be involved, let us know!
We'll be at TCTC, come say hi to Jae at the Parkour Interactive table, or participate in the Vancouver Play test Groups Game Jam we're a part of!
TCTC is almost here!
While we're moving in and setting up today, be sure to double-check your convention plan and grab a convention buddy.
And if they don't already have a ticket?

Game Jams are indeed a joy!
Thank you for the shout out, @omnigamers.bsky.social !
At @protocon-bc.bsky.social I met some game designers I’ve been following for some time. They were all as nice as you would hope they would be #pamwallsgamedesign @offthepagegames.bsky.social and #bellowsintent the best part of the con was hanging out with people who are excited about game design
At @protocon-bc.bsky.social I playtested War canoe and Feral Cat Furenzzi (not shown) and met up with fellow board game nerds @pemetawe_games and @eastern.woodland.art and Biz from UBC. And thank you to @ubccomicsstudies for sponsoring me!
Is this my first professional post on Blueksy? Maybe!
But I am very happy to be representing @pemetawe.bsky.social at the Illuminate Play Conference.
Truly an amazing event and I am grateful to be a small part of it.
Are you an indie board game designer? Show off your published games and help them find new audiences - pull up a table at our Demo Drive!
A weekend of playtesting at @protocon-bc.bsky.social has me thinking about how to be a good playtester and I'm workshopping some ideas for next year. What are your tips for how to be helpful and constructive as a playtester?
Sorry to hear :(
Glad to hear it! Hope to see you next year!

Thank you @protocon-bc.bsky.social ! What a great weekend and a great first ProtoCon BC! Lots of great demos with lots of great people!
One of the games at @protocon-bc.bsky.social is designed by an 11 year old! Made sure to bring my daughter in time to playtest it, both to let her see the process and to show support. It's so fantastic to see such a diverse crowd.
We are thrilled that you did!
Finally took the leap of bringing one of my many prototypes to an event this weekend, and wanted to thank @protocon-bc.bsky.social for an awesome first showcasing experience! ✨💖🌱
12 hours of volunteering transforms into 3 days of free gaming?!
Come see this alchemy for yourself and apply to be a Game Master, Board Game Host, or other volunteer!
DAY THREE
Come watch some fantastic games and talented people!

@protocon-bc.bsky.social has me thinking about my design that I haven't touched for a few years. Feeling inspired and had some great ideas I'm keen to test.
My mind and heart are full (and my body is sore) after a whirlwind day trip to @protocon-bc.bsky.social. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to play test games in this concentration, and it was amazing to be in a room full of folks who want to have fun and make that fun the best it can be.
The house was PACKED here at ProtoCon BC! An amazing day full of playtesting yesterday- looking forward to more games today 💪

Vikings. Goats. Chaos!
Introducing Floksmenn of Fugloy, my latest game design. Stoked to have debuted this game at @protocon-bc.bsky.social - thanks to all the amazing player testers who chased goats, made cheese, and ran away from the Landspirits of Fugloy 🏔️
