I recently completed my 100th game project since starting freelance in 2011, and it felt important to say thanks to some very important folks: game designers. Without your enthusiasm and craft, the last decade of my life would’ve been much less awesome.

Putting my money where my mouth is: I will match the first $1000 on GoFundMe for this scholarship seeking to diversify the pool of board game designers. Please RT.
And please make me write a big check when I get back from playtesting this afternoon.
If you’d like to help us give some designers the chance to experience Unpub 10 or future events, you can do so at:

In the past ten days I've been working on implementing a solo board game, which is not accessible out of the box for blind people, as an Alexa skill. It's currently in beta, message me if you want to try it out. #blind #accessibility #BoardGames

Many people think ASL is structured just like English. Here’s part of my working script for Wingspan. Spoiler alert: far from English! 🙃

Interviewed @moregamespls for @PlayabilityPod. I've admired Ross' work for a while and our talk today made me admire him even more and also made me sad that there's an ocean between our game tables. If you haven't seen his work, look: moregamesplease.com/

Please listen and support the podcast I had the pleasure in being in. It was amazing 5o do and fun to talk about the sheets
Icon & color coded RPG character sheets make information access easier for everyone. @ToPlayIsHuman talks to @AxellesNobody and Keith R. about D&D 5E sheets they made for players with dyslexia, which have received great feedback from the gaming community. playabilitypod.com/38

Just had a wonderful chat with @AxellesNobody & her DM, Keith, about the amazing accessible D&D character sheets they created. Could have talked for HOURS - you'll get the highlights on @PlayabilityPod in February! If you haven't seen the character sheets: drive.google.com/open?id=1bu…

Thanks, @PlayabilityPod, for inviting me on to chat about puzzles, games, and people (:

Y'all, life is funny. When @cgsunit & I started co-hosting @PlayabilityPod last year we didn't know each other, but we discovered that, in addition to shared hobbies, we shared the exact same wedding anniversary! We even had the same wedding meeples! Huzzah! My photos to follow.
