Oh 100 percent, they’re not reliable whatsoever, definitely took it all with a grain of salt

Yeah we’re in the same boat right now too.

Is to only cover games of artists we are familiar with and know, but I think that’s extremely harmful to indie and up and coming artists who we want to feature and celebrate…

Needless to say, I’d love to hear how you approach these edge cases and how we as a community can support human made art.

On the table. I don’t want to compromise our own integrity, but I also don’t want to offend artists that have a specific style, and all of this is going to get much more complex as the technology evolves.

So the question is, how do we ensure we follow our policy? Well the easy answer…

A publisher reached out to us, and the art in their game has this “AI look,” however, we were assured it’s human made, an art studio was credited and as I am unfamiliar with their work, I did run the art on the page through AI detectors, and many did flag this as AI, which just puts more questions…

First regardless of the circumstance we always ask around Gen AI usage, and state our policy outright. It’s important our own values and integrity.

Recently, I’ve questioned our approach.

We have a policy, where we do not cover games with any sort of Generative AI.

We’re in a time where a lot of the time we can see certain elements that would make us wonder or even assume that the art present is AI generated, however, I do fear offending artists and publishers with this question.

I'm hungry.

You know what irks me? Creators who have AI Thumbnails or Profile Pictures. Like... Why?

Also I feel like Generative AI has began to slowly paranoy my brain, as I feel like I am beginning to question EVERYTHING around me.

So I've been consulting a university research team on parasocial relationships between board game content creators and their audience.

Here’s a quick video about it:

Ilya and Tylor of the @kovray.bsky.social YouTube channel have done an amazing job on their how to play video for Roll’n Bump Duel! Their only mistake was in how to pronounce my last name 😅
For the curious, it’s closest to “doze-wah”

Great job, fellas!!

Top 5 Board Games We Played in February 2026 | Back From The Dead! YouTube video by kovray

We're BACK: youtu.be/SpOAU7hQeXY

I've been sick for the last three weeks, which means we haven't been able to film or really play any games. However, my energy is mostly back so we had to share some of the games we've played in February and why we loved them!

AND... We're Doing March Madness (1/2)

If my voice could please come back, along with my energy, I would be very grateful. Being sick for nearly three weeks IS TOO LONG! Thank you.

Today I want to share that Ryan Dancey and AEG have parted ways.
This is not an easy post to write. Ryan has been a significant part of AEG’s story, and I am personally grateful for the years of work, passion, and intensity he brought to the company. We have built a lot together.

I make games because I love every step of the process—the initial idea, the scrappy first prototype, the first playtest filled with glee and failure and hope.

Here’s my scrappy first prototype of Tiny Towns. [1/6]

Wow, this guy really hates people. I'd feel pretty crummy if I were one of the talented designers he was dumping on.

CONGRATS!
