Huge shoutout to the folks from @openthegatesgaming.bsky.social and @dotsrpg.org talking things through with us at #PAXU last year!
Accessibility is important, and we want to get it right!
If you're looking to talk to someone about accessibility in games, there's no better groups to check out!
Digital Angel was hands down the coolest thing someone put in our team's hands at #PAXU
@sandroad.moe crafted a raw #TTRPG about Cam Girls in a Death Spiral! Play is for consenting perverted adults w/ excellent communication skills and high interpersonal trust

A yellow worker stands amongst green, red, yellow and blue cogs on the main board of Galactic Cruise. He is upset for coming up 3rd place by just a few, few points.
Played Galactic Cruise with Accomodations and Advancements expansions. I was so eager to get them at #PAXU but didn't have a good first impression. Added 20-30 mins, felt either "meh" or too constraining. More thought on what I'll pick and choose in next game. #boardgames
It's wild to think that it's been 3 weeks since we got home from #PAXU! Meeting all those cool folks was truly wonderful, and we're gonna get on outreach soon
Even mimics need a good nap 😴
cover of FOOD FIGHT! FOOD FIGHT! by bee alexander FOOD FIGHT! is a quick-play fighting game for two players. each player drafts a party of FOOD FIGHT!ers, then they face off in combat. in between the by-line and the description, there’s an illustration of a red person with marbled meat armor and a yellow person made of cheese fighting with toothpick swords
screenshot of FOOD FIGHT!’s spreads. the first and third spread are partially cut off ROLL 3: choosing a menu section within the restaurant's menu, choose the section that corresponds with the number rolled.* ROLL 4: choosing a meal within the section, choose the meal that corresponds with the number rolled.* *if the number exceeds the number of options, either reroll or loop back until you've finished counting. when you've landed on a meal, break it down into its components. each component will become a member of your party. a party has 5 FOOD FIGHT!ers in total: too many components? choose your 5 favorites. too few? reroll rolls 3 and 4 until you have 5. GIVE THEM LIFE! identify the food group for each FOOD FIGHT!er in each player's party. if they could reasonably be in multiple food groups, they can be in multiple. then, choose classes for each FOOD FIGHT!er in each player's party. each member gets one class. illustration of a person covering themself from a blue blast with a fried egg shield FOOD GROUPS carbs: strong against veggies veggies: strong against sweets sweets: strong against meat meat: strong against dairy dairy: strong against fruits fruits: strong against carbs CLASSES rogue: strong against mage mage: strong against fighter fighter: strong against rogue finally, give each FOOD FIGHT!er in your party a name, preferably on theme with the type of food they are. be sure to write names, food groups, and classes somewhere where both players can see. THE FIGHT! one player declares heads or tails, then flips a coin. if that player called it, they go first. if not, the other player goes first. every FOOD FIGHT!er has 25 Macros. the player that goes first chooses a member of their party to attack a member of the other party. the attacker rolls a d10, then adds any applicable strengths (each illustration of a broccoli mage and a cut off illustration of a blue person with a fish hat
just put my zine from #PaxU up on itch :-) in FOOD FIGHT!, two players use a food delivery app to draft parties of FOOD FIGHT!ers, then they face off in combat. art and layout by @barcstravis.bsky.social

Super late but at #PAXU this year, I was asked to be the live cartographer for a The Quiet Year actual play with @blackgirlmage.bsky.social @edwardspence.bsky.social @kendomakesfilms.bsky.social and @drakoniques.itch.io
This was the final map of Company Town 🤠

One side effect of working #GamesOnDemand every day of #PaxU is I can now run the adventure I prepped with no notes, possibly even in my sleep
Repetition is magic ya'll

So don’t delay! Remember to fill out your 2025 #PAXU survey asap and sound off to ReedPop and the Penny Arcade team so they know what will keep you coming back next year. This is my number one favorite convention, and it makes me so happy to be able to help shape its future.
God I was in multiple rooms with @darthruvaider.bsky.social and I forgot to get a picture with him! Dammit! #PAXU #PaizoFreelancers
Alex, Dustin, and Ivis at PAXU.
Me, @kitsunewarlock.bsky.social, and @northerndreamer.bsky.social! It was very funny because I’ve never met Ivis in person, so we were both casually talking until I introduced myself properly and then was immediately like, “IVIS?!?” #PAXU #Pathfinder #OP
Alex’s terrible rendition of the boykisser meme, drawn directly on Dustin’s face.
I … may have drawn the Boykisser on @kitsunewarlock.bsky.social’s mask lol. It was like 11pm and I was delirious from a long-day of #PAXU.
He kept the mask though, lol!
