Tabletop game designer 🎲✂️, laser-cut game accessory maker, otrovert, and Star Trek fan🖖 (he/him)
Heyo! I'll be at Gen Con Thursday through Saturday. If you'd like to meet up, reach out! I'll be at Allplay's ticked event Thursday night. Other than that, I'm pretty freefall. I do hope to get a big honkin' session of Thunder Road going sometime in the open play area. Hoping to recreate this.
We’ve kept a shadow box for years, marking special events or important aspects of our lives. 🍿 faded ticket stubs from each of our kids’ first movies 🍼 wristbands from when each was born 😶 a 1st generation Lego minifig (predates arms!)
What should we make of this headline from Space.c__? When do astronomers or astrophysicists use the term “supersonic” with regards to anything happening outside of Earth’s atmosphere? They don’t. “Faster than a horse” would be equally meaningful. AI? No editor?
Game designers and their spreadsheets. I designed a trick-taker (quelle surprise) in which partners' cards add together if they're the same suit. Each suit is 1-11. BUT, 2s double any card under 8 and 3s triple any card under 8. If our cards match, how good is each?
Hey @dnlnwmn.bsky.social ! Say the thing! Say the THIIIINNG!!!
This is either wrong, or the awards ceremony will not include presentation of the fan favorite winners. Which is fine I suppose Here is a more direct link, but you’ll need your Origins badge number. forms.monday.com/forms/e63f1f... Not clear why 1 form needs that but the other doesn’t.
Oh, did I mention the 3D ramps, cliffs, and bridges? #ThunderRoad game design 🎲✂️
Playing Thunder Road tonight. I’ve always wanted recreate this scene from mad Mad Max. Trouble is, with a single road tile, it won’t work… Unless…
Going to @originsgamefair.bsky.social next week? Remember to cast your Origins Award votes! You can see all of this year's finalists by visiting the Origins Awards Finalists Showcase Area in the North Atrium of the convention center.
Just got my copy of "Toy Battle" Love the art! The credits don't list a graphic designer, but whoever they got did a fantastic job. Maybe it was the listed artist, Paul Mafayon? The style perfectly matches the theme. Makes me want to 3D print actual boxes like these. Bravo!
Stuff’s gotta get ugly before it gets pretty. I’ll be glad when I finish filling this game design 🎲✂️ notebook Dot grid > line grid
I live near the US National Air Museum. They have the latter 3 and a bunch of other weird birds. Love ‘em all. And absolutely happy pride!
14 months passed between the time I'd heard I would get it and when I actually did. It arrived on my desk, without a note, in a departmental mailer like the one shown. I've never told anyone this, but on my way out of the building that day, I threw it in the trash.
When it was time for my son’s first Halloween, he still didn’t have much hair. We chose to lean into it and went with Jean-Luc Picard. Only 1 collar pip at this early stage in his career.
During the early days of printing, capital letters were stored in the upper case. You can work out the rest.
My first episode was also TAS; The Ambergris Element, in which Kirk and Spock become aquatic. The first snipped of TOS I saw was from "That Which Survives". My mom got one look at Lee Meriwether in her "I Dream of Genie" costume and shut if off. It was... formative
Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone
I worked one summer at my uncle’s dairy farm in middle school. HATED it. All respect and appreciation to farmers. I couldn’t hack it. Those are OG Converse shoes. Excuse the pic posts. Going through old albums with my mom. Also, 🤬 Alzheimer’s
