Joseph Z Chen 🔜 Gamestorm

I've found that community and regular meetups have helped stoke the fires. Even if I don't have something going on myself it can be inspiring to see what others are up to.

I just heard great things about this game from @ruelgaviola.com's livestream. Will have to check it out!

Success comes in a lot of different forms and is always relative to each person and their goals. I wouldn't downplay your achievements and progress if you have something you are proud of.

I'm between projects, and it's uncomfortable. I had a lot of success last year in tabletop games so I'm feeling artificial pressure to continue chasing that. But without an exciting new project already underway, it's hard to build momentum and motivation.

Anybody else feel this way sometimes?

Designer Diary: Knitting Circle | BoardGameGeek News

Check out this designer diary by @emilykeepskitties.bsky.social about her game, Knitting Circle! I worked on development once it was signed by @flatoutgames.bsky.social, but it's cool to see the various forms and evolution it took before the first time I played it!

Dang that looks good. What do you do to season the lentils?

We are going live soon! Hope to see you there!

This is the best argument I've heard so far for keeping them.

Any Italian-reading gamers want to be friends with me?

There's always that chance! Is this why my turns in board games take so long...? 🤔

🤣

This particular game is in a small box so the 6 rulebooks actually occupy over a third of the box space 😅. I will probably toss them but it's hard to let go even though it's irrational to keep them.

The game I bought comes with rules in 6 different languages. Do just keep the english rules and recycle the rest? Or do I hold on to them all for the next 10+ years for the off-chance I lend the game to someone who only knows Italian?

Come watch us play Honeypot and Forage!!

It's a joy to see our co-design getting released this year! It was a blast working with Randy on this game. Please check out Frenzy Falls!

Thank you for the review, Dan!

Another Taylor Shuss game! Very cool theme as well.
