I'm sure. I'm sure the vibe is still there.

I WANT TO PLAY.

If you're at GAMA, go hang out with @darringtonpress.bsky.social and play my game!

I need to live vicariously. Please send pictures.

I had a silent run the other day where I went infinite with Nightmare + Setup + Nightmare + Wraith Form + After Image.

I felt like a god. I just let it go to see. It keeps gaining 50 strength. 999x15 is hilarious to see, then survive.

OH HECK YES

That would mean the series finale would air...

Thursday, March 2, 2028.

Almost 29 years to the day after the original finale aired...

WHAT IS HAPPENING.

Board game arena screenshot of Cartographers. Solo score of 79.

Did I... just break Cartographers? I don't think I've ever scored NEARLY this much in a solo game. 30 is the "high" score, I had 79...

Trivia question "what author won the Hugo award for best novel three years in a row for the books in her Broken Earth trilogy"

Trivia was fun tonight! @nkjemisin.bsky.social had a feature!

The story: Don't throw away old prototypes. They may have life yet!

Y'ALL. I MADE A THING.

This is more accurate than it has any right to be.

I'll look into them though!

Thanks! Because of the nature of it being a student game, I think it's important I chat with someone there directly.

I'm teaching a college-level board game design class.

One of my student groups designed a card game appropriate for the mass market. If I had designed it, I'd be reaching out to Hasbro yesterday.

So.....

Anybody know anyone at Hasbro? :D

Cool. That first part was one of my biggest concerns. The tutorial felt pretty generous with its actions. I was concerned it would feel samey, game after game.

Thanks!

How was this? I've looked it over on BGA, but haven't played a full game yet.

Additionally, super high testosterone in an 80 year old is... Very not good. It indicates some severe health issues.

And for those of us with eyes, is not surprising.

Shadow of Colossus, the board game.

No, really.

It's VERY good.

That was our last election. We just did the same bad thing again.

This is awesome!

This is true. A better description may have been:

WE'rE VoTiNg FoR yOU!

I don't really have an off button.

Sidenote: Pretty sure the caps lock key was also pressed on my voice during this playtest...

Night Soil rulebook. The special thanks says "Ian Zang, for giving the best advice he'll never remember."

I think(?) this may be one of my proudest accolades on a game.
@jontexmo.bsky.social

I -believe- this was directly after @wunfatkid.bsky.social convinced me to play Dead Last at late night Unpub.

I remember the advice, despite everything.
"DO NOT COMPROMISE ON THE THEME. THIS IS THE THEME."

Ooh, good to know.

Nice! I do wish that in round 6, the lead player could choose a small element to explain instead of the printed one.

The jumping point is going to drastically improve things though. Looking forward to it!

First edition is one of my prized games. Excited to see what you have changed!

Haha, oh I know. Just teasing. Hopefully will see y'all at Origins!

That I do not doubt, but there is something to be said for venturing outside the ecosystem. You'll find weird stuff there.

And that's, like, your brand.
