Same for me but Muppet Christmas Carol. Merry Christmas!

A little morning loop for the first day of winter.

Got jump scared googling this person

Billionaires are a self-alienating race of people, they don’t want to be treated like everyone else

A link box on a store shelf that reads “Mondo Llama create-your-own fantasy board game kit” with a photo of hand drawn on board game pieces with a spinner, sand timer, hand drawn board and cards, colored markers and standees

A sheet from the kit showing a run down of included components as well as detailed steps on creating, prototyping and testing your game.

Walking through Target earlier and saw this board game design kit in the kids activities section and bought it out of curiosity. Shocked to find a sheet with decent advice on ideation, prototyping and playtesting in this $12 box of bits. 🎲✂️

If you are a tabletop game creator feeling discouraged about how many games are coming out each year, some perspective:
🎲✂️🎲

A 2-star review of Wrong Station that reads: Its got to be difficult to hold to a very high standard of quality year-in and year-out. And for years you guys pulled it off. Of late, I'm worried. The endless 10-year retrospective navel-gazing exercise foisted on listeners after months of a very loooong summer off was a big ask, and not what we came here for. Long breaks, lower-quality material, and excuses are bad signs. Thirteen and Ghost in the Burbs lost me this way, and I don't want that to happen at the Wrong Station too."

Just saw this 2-star review someone left for the show and initially it annoyed me. But now, I'm realizing it's an exceptional example of what consumerism has done to the arts and those who consume them. I want to point out a couple of things.

Alive and well!

Vibes outside the goth function tonight

Life hack: watch scary movies whenever

Cards on a table featuring rough prototype art of stick figures walking in the rain outside of windows. Each person is wearing or holding one of 5 items players are trying to acquire for scoring.

Heard about @buttonshy.bsky.social’s 18 Card Cozy Game Challenge and figured I’d throw a prototype together.
My current idea is a simple drafting game where you play as siblings stuck inside on a rainy day watching people walk by the windows. Still figuring it out but I think I like it?🤔 🎲✂️

I mean if we’re talking regular ass potato chips hell no but cheese ruffles or salt and vinegar kettle chips? That’s a hell yeah for me

This tracks:

A big wooden table where 3 players are removing plastic gems from gold mint tins and adding them up for scoring. Each player has three face up scoring cards in front of them. There’s a small notebook and pen in the corner. One player is using their phone to add up points.

Got great feedback on my loot-splitting game the other night. Scoring is broken but the basic loop is fun. Excited for the next playtest 🎲✂️

No One Is Available - Episode 3 - Bag | Short Horror Audio Drama YouTube video by Empty Field

New episode of my super short horror audio drama anthology is up!

Need to test with more than 2 players to see if it works but I’m definitely preferring this super light area control version over the previous set collection version.

Dice placed below cards depicting theme park ride types.

A paper sheet roughly depicting a theme park map with player cubes placed on various spaces of the “board”

Decided to take points out of my wip theme park game. Currently you roll and place dice to snag the first ride of each attraction which places you on the board. Win conditions include being the first to visit each area, ride all the rides in one area or ride four connected rides. 🎲✂️

Well the game seems to work somewhat so ultimately productive!

Currently this is a game about about riding theme park rides. It’s sort of dice placement/drafting game where your goal is to claim the first ride on as many unique rides as you can.

A picture of game bits inside a small box. There’s dice, cards and pawns of various colors.

Had an idea Thursday and by Saturday I had a quick 2 player playtest. Really trying to “get the ideas out of my head and onto the table” as fast as I can. 🎲✂️

Had a very constructive first real playtest of my flip and write spooky hotel game on Friday. Needs work but I think it’s got legs 🎲✂️

"TV seasons should be unnecessarily long and have a lot of bad episodes in them again, like they did when shows were good" is a strangely popular opinion

Messing around in Logic early this morning. I have so many of these little dumb song loops on my hard drive.
