I recently did an interview with @wranglerofchaos.bsky.social for #YoungDragonslayers where we discuss how my teaching background influenced the choices I made in the creation of Little but Fierce
youtu.be/nVYuJ2IXk2A?...
A banner that says Little but Fierce: Streamlined 5th Edition for Children of All Ages. Thereβs a preview of the physical book cover and artwork. Thereβs a quote from Sarah Johnson, Education Consultant that says: βIn a sea of electronic alternatives, Little but Fierce stands as an exciting and fun competitor that will delight geeky parents and their children alike.β There are also four photos of the creative team: DC Bradshaw, Catarina EusΓ©bio, Sebastian YΕ«e and Jennifer Kretchmer.

Golden text on a maroon frame reads first booth day at GAMA Expo! Inside the frame is an image of a grouping of squares representing convention booths. They are light green with black text. The bottom left box in the center is circled. This reads 273, Central Michigan University Press.
Maroon frame with golden text reads thanks to Lamaro Smith for stopping by! In the center of the frame is a picture of Lamaro Smith, a slim Black man with a black sweatshirt and sunglasses on top of his head, holding the game box for Hydrologic Cycle.
Maroon frame with golden text that reads stay tuned for more exciting updates from the 2026 GAMA Expo! Thanks to the TCB Games Huntington for the awesome photo op! Next to this text is a photo of a big python statue. It is curled around the head of a young woman with dark hair who is looking upwards and making a comically scared face.
First booth day at GAMA Expo 2026 was fantastic! Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat, especially our friend @lamarosmith.bsky.social! (We love your art!!) More coming later this week, stay tuned! Thanks to TCB Games Huntington for the awesome photo op!
Do I see a TTRPGkids logo on there?
Go check out the CMU Press booth at GAMA for some awesome EDU focused board games and TTRPGs!!
Ghost Roads and Moon Dust - a solo #TTRPG about taking back (pieces of) the moon - is just about ready for submission to @junkfoodgames.bsky.social's Lean Green Zine Jam! (Even if it is more blue than green...)
A comic drawn digitally with two panels. First panel has one black cat on the left asking a white cat on the right "so what do you do for a living?" Second panel the white cat answered with a silly face "My best?"
