Platy knows Mychal T; who knows Michael K; who knows Jon Stewart 😎

Makes sense, and your idea sounds like it has merit

Remember that the ‘shift’ could be as simple as you foreshadowing a new foe or environmental danger that is coming (this the fear)

A pile of TTRPG books

A shirt and some board games

Board games, journal, hat, and bags

Here are all of the cool things I brought home to try/learn. As always, what doesn’t fit the ascetic of my own games collection will be donated to local public libraries in my area.

I want to thank @meanpomelo.bsky.social and @brotherwisegames.bsky.social for having me at there booth at #GAMAExpo2026. It was a blast, I continue to expand my industry connections and look forward to Gen Con this summer.

Missed you this year, hope your #GAMAExpo2026 was successful.

Exciting program for this year’s mini-con. Mark your calendars.

Join GameRT in conversation with @unpub.org organizers as we talk about Unpub initiatives with the library community and explain the benefits of library folks participating in game design spaces. Friday, February 20 at 1:00 CT. No registration required, just tune in to GameRT's YT or Twitch channel.

This looks fun.

Only caveat is I am presenting one session and I don’t know the time yet.

I live near Louisville, and would be available if you still need someone

Good warning, I don’t think it will be a problem with the group I will likely play with. Knowing things like this are critical for gamers advisors (what library employees call the service of helping folks choose a game).

I am definitely looking into this after the holidays!

Great #IGM2025 call out. Thanks @junkfoodgames.bsky.social

Too much of a drive to see in person, but Lights Under Louisville has some videos on YouTube you might want to show them.

Also we are happy to talk with designers, so DM if you ever have questions.

Well our awards committee deliberates each year on games over 10 years old that work well in libraries , but this is my year chairing the committee.

I am sorry I didn’t tag you or @lumpley.bsky.social, I had a bunch of games and companies to promote between my awards committee work and International Games Month.
