Rulebooks are linear presentations of systems. To write a rulebook you have to reduce a system to a linear stream, then to learn it you have to extrapolate systemic meaning from a linear presentation. There might be a better way.

Merchant's Cove is SO fun!
I love that everyone has a different mini-game to attract customers: it means players all get a unique experience in the same playthrough.
I'll eventually perfect being the Alchemist...

Seasons Creepings to all who celebrate. If you want an inexpensive Halloween-themed game, track down a copy of Spook Manor! It plays up to 6 players in less than half an hour.

Would you read a review of a board game written by its designer?
Or would it need to re-frame itself, as a "postmortem" or a "design diary" for it to be worthy of consideration?
Consider checking out the game I've spent the last year working on! If you like engine building, combos, and big euros, you're in for a treat. kickstarter.com/projects/512…

I got to try out The Sixth Realm, thanks to the folks at @FinalFrontierG . Jerod & I returned to the world of Merchant's Cove, but this time, discovered a long-hidden island realm of guilds. The game involves interacting with these guilds for points. Kickstarter coming in April!
Election season is coming up! I know politics aren't supposed to be "fun", but I made a little game about Halfling Democracy anyways. If you'd like to learn more, check out this great video by @JonGetsGames

I've always tried to live my life in such a way that people would have no doubts about what I believe and what I value.
Lately I've been thinking maybe that's not enough.
So I just want to state publicly, proudly, loudly, and clearly that I fully support the LGBTQ+ community
