Working on my #CHAINLINKEDGameJam submission and feeling pretty proud of this Faction I made. It's just you. You're the Faction. And everyone wants to be your friend.
Mine is a fairly coherent, but if you open each of these notes you will find only the incomprehensible.
I already cleaned up the tokens, but this is the aftermath of our PREQUEL game! The heroes preserves the secret of the sacred waters of the desert oasis (now encased in glass), but we're all defeated by the Magma Elemental that consumed the flying cities of the world.
Low-stakes boothing this morning! Then running games of PREQUEL and Chain×Link this afternoon!
Writing up a little Grave Level for my next Chain×Link session. Brainstorming ideas that need to be pared down for a stronger focus. (Likely releasing this as part of my Chainlinked game jam submission).
I read part of this series a while ago as research for the (yet to be released) horror scenario I wrote for Jiangshi by @bananachangames.bsky.social and @senfoonglim.bsky.social Finally finished the whole graphic novel! A great reflection on childhood, multicultural influences in rural Midwest.
A spike of downloads for Six Arrows to Sunset has me revisiting the game. What a fun project. Six Arrows to Sunset. Bluff to survive in this sun-slaying myth game for one player and six GMs. glyphtide.itch.io/six-arrows-t...
My copy of Last Train to Bremen, by @seaexcursion.itch.io and published by @possumcreekgames.com has arrived! It's been amazing watching this game progress from playtest to boxed set!
Great to see games by friends and fellow designers flying off the shelves @tabletopbookshelf.com!
Just received my @hinokodo.com MI(II)RUs and the Hex Kit! Excited to open this up and give it a spin!

Someone made a box set to play PREQUEL, such a magnificent collection! "Finally got to bring PREQUEL to the table today with my group. It was incredible, everything I ever hoped it would be when I baked the Kickstarter."

I have donated an amount equivalent to the revenue I have received from Chain×Link to the Minnesota Immigrant Rapid Response Fund. This growing cruelty must be stopped.
Host Personas are critical to life in Neo Avaria. Access civic services through DungeonSpace, play the popular game Dice Delvers, and duel opponents to win Bytes...all by rolling and clashing your Host Dice. But is there something more sinister behind the code? Hack, Slash, Return.
Cloud Empress by @worldsbywatt.bsky.social arrived this weekend! Ecological Science-Fantasy is a genre I want to spend more time in. Can't wait to delve into this!
Fetch My Blade is back in stock at IPR! www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Fetch-...
PREQUEL is a tactical storytelling game of heroic sacrifice. Play as the first heroes to take on a great evil. You will fall, but you are not the end. glyphtide.games/prequel/
I don't want to hear about your reflections for this year or resolutions for next year. I want to hear about your CHARACTER's reflections for this year and resolutions for next year.
In case you missed it, I released a semi-cooperative dungeon-defying RPG this year. Your successes depend on each other. glyphtide.games/chainxlink/
Went to the Big Gay Market this morning and ran into @zo51m05.bsky.social and got a handmade riso-printed game! The world building is so unique, FTL travel uses letterpresses powered by blood ink teleportation.
A friend gave me this wonderful handmade gift of the Glyphtide Games logo that now adorns on our tree!
Just ordered a new print run of Fetch My Blade! Play as the dog of a retired legendary master of the sword, tasked with a quest of your own: retrieve your master’s fabled weapon in time for their final duel. Purchase the game: glyphtide.games/fetch-my-bla...
