A set of screenshots from DEEP SPACE NINE. An old Klingon throws his arms around Dax and shouts "Curzon, my beloved old friend!" Dax returns the hug and says "I'm Jadzia now." The Klingon grabs her shoulders, smiles, and says "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"
Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

@coinflip.games & I had the absolute honor of joining @panda8ngel.bsky.social on Boardgamegeeks Podcast, episode 91! We talk about ourselves, Chicken Fried Dice,and how we got started mostly before jumping in to our favorite blank n write games! Thank you so much!

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how so much game design advice that’s available is really just business/product advice. It’s got a lot of survivorship bias and as a result, it’s homogenising and dissuading a lot of what’s possible.
So…I’m making a little vlog series about it!
Nooooooooo! I’m glad you’re okay (beyond whatever’s up with your leg!)
What did you do?
Oooo eye spy a chicken fried dice as well! Folks AT gamestorm will get to play the upcoming release from @urbanprogames.bsky.social that is absolutely blowing up on Kickstarter at the moment!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/urb...
The box for Counterpoint with three animal musicians adorning the cover!
It’s precisely 130 x 179 x 47mm! And looking pretty gorgeous if I do say so myself! 😍
I've been following Chicken Fried Dice for a while now and excited to see its number come up.
