Demoing Finspan with the first expansion in the Geek Dad area of GameStorm last weekend. #gamestorm
Happy-tired at PDX after my weekend at #GameStorm. Portland continues to come through for me, and I'm glad to have had the opportunity to come out and express my gratitude. Thanks to Nicole Nowlin, Artemis Billington and all the rest of the con staff who facilitated my appearance.
Wyrmspan may have been my final game of the convention but the final EVENT was the wedding of Lissette and April. 🧚🧚♂️
#Wedding #SCA #AnTir #GameStorm #GameStorm26 ❤️❤️❤️
My final game this con was Wyrmspan. It’s the first of the ____span group of games that I’ve played. I like it and would like to try the others. #GameStorm #GameStorm26 #GameStormConvention
I’m about to be showing off the game I’ve designed, Cryptic Investigation, at table D-13 in Game Lab. Can YOU figure out how Agent Scoper died?

I just tried this out at #GameStorm before the #Kickstarter even launches. It’s fun and cute. #GameStorm26 ##GameStormConvention ##GameStormGameLab

Last day of #GameStorm in Portland, Ore., and I'll be signing and selling books all day. Find me by the hotel restaurant and grab yourself a copy of MAKING ENEMIES (as well as HOW TO DEFEND YOUR LAIR and MOAR! MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING while they last!).
Tiny games that take a long time to play:
Tiny Epic Galaxies Blast Off
Tiny Epic Cthulhu + Cult of Chaos

Here’s what I made at the Make Your Own Comic panel. The prompt was to take something ordinary you did this past week and the put an unexpected twist on it. #GameStorm #GameStorm26 #GameStormConvention #CreationStation
No photo but I did play a few rounds of Get the Maguffin in the Play and Win area. #GameStorm #GameStorm26 #GameStormConvention #GameStormPAW
Chart of CO2 readings starting at 600 ppm around 9 AM, then rising to between 1,000 and 1,100 ppm after 11, with a peak of 1,122 ppm.
#GameStorm Cypher System game concluded, Calavazo defeated—but not before it imprisoned Isabel the huntress inside itself. Luckily, she—and its seven other victims—were released unharmed.
CO2 levels in the Timberline room stayed in the green until around 11 AM, then snuck up into the low 1000s.
I’m leaning to play Knight Fall. I’m on the demons team. Mwa ha ha ha! #GameStorm #GameStorm26 #GameStormConvention
My first game of the day. I’m learning to play Grimm Masquerade. #GameStorm #GameStorm26 #GameStormConvention
This is what I decorated at the Make n’ Take Dice Trinket Box event earlier today. #GameStorm #GameStormConvention #GameStorm26 #CreationStation
I’ve played and love Cascadia Junior. This is my first time playing the original, more complex version. I’m enjoying it a lot, too. #GameStorm #GameStorm26 #Cascadia
Attention #GameStorm attendees: A player has dropped out of my Cypher System game, "Burning Bright," tomorrow (Saturday) from 9 to 1 in the Timberline Room, leaving us with just three players. If you're interested in joining, sign up at tabletop.events/conventions/....

GameStorm started yesterday but I wasn’t available. I’m at the convention now and playing Kraken Eggs, a prototype being tested in the Game Lab. #GameStorm #GameStorm26 #GameStormConvention #GameLab
Second game of #Gamestorm day one was SETI. I've been wanting to try this one for awhile. The impression was good enough that I'd like to try it again. I'm a sucker for anything with a spinning board… #boardgame
Excellent first night of #gamestorm !
Fun panel with @themonstersknow.com (we built a monster by committee) and Pirate Borg with harbormaster @themightyjerd.bsky.social (we won, we were the best at piracy)
Shadowdark tomorrow morning, running Public Access in the evening. I am a happy nerd.
Great panel at #gamestorm by @themonstersknow.com!
Keith is a longtime inspiration in my gming and game design, and I hadn’t really pieced that together until now. But I used to read his blog a lot.
Looking at my game design,
Kn1ght/Dr4kk3n/Hellwhalers/Killing Time all feature influence.
Rad!

If you see me at #gamestorm, please say hello! I’m anxious, but friendly—I just don’t know anyone here! I’d love to play a pickup #ttrpg with a small player count and/or easy rules!
