it's wild how many publishers and distributors hold themselves back by just not answering their emails in a timely fashion. Big names too!

oh thank you, it's a special space!

My biggest issue with threads is it can't decide if it's a video or text platform, I guess it's both? but I don't thank it make for an ideal experience

fwiw I've seen a drop in engagement

our first community pirate borg game is... full 😲 I'll be running a table of 7 or 8 pirates 🏴‍☠️

Already lots of response to the game designer meet up. After learn-to-plays it was the most requested thing. Surveys are good!

Going full shopkeep mode today, no more planning or purchasing. Be one with the shop.

definitely was a lightning bolt moment when it clicked in

Had our first reservation today! A couple booked a Nook table for two hours, brought in their own game, didn't use their credit, which is actually awesome because that means they are coming back.

It didn't really click into place until this week for me, but it just made so much sense as a way to ensure you have paying customers at the table, while bringing in guaranteed sales and new customers too.

The store credit model is fascinating. Your reservation fee converts into store credit on arrival. So essentially you get access to a table if you promise to buy something from the store. It's like a magnet for in-store customers.

a few folks came in specifically to ask about the tables, I finished up getting the booking pages live, and some one booked the big room 🤯

Had some people wander into the shop and look around and yes some people bought stuff. I think this thing is going to work fam

I wish I had shaved

Coffee table done

i'll take a leg up when I can get it

the final tables arrive tomorrow!

the first game officially played in the shop was Honey Heist

drop me a message when you do and you can drop of some zines!

a great quick read on the shop's history and the new space - my Milwaukee pride is exploding this week

the pieces as scattered across the windy city, he who assembles them will be richly rewarded

the final two gaming tables for the shop are somewhere in Chicago, it seems

Just got word the Milwaukee Common Council President is coming to the Grand Opening for the ribbon cutting (he happens to be the district's alderman)

Adding 'Thing I Need That Has Mysteriously Vanished"

My days right now are about rushing from task to task based on my anxiety and balancing that against my energy levels to avoid burnout. There's a game in there somewhere.

👀 that 10 day forecast, looking OK for the opening 😌

I’m honored that Tom at @tabletopbookshelf.com asked me to design a poster to commemorate the opening of their new brick and mortar shop in the heart of Milwaukee, where I grew up.

I'm honored that you said yes
