Who needs an app?? Super excited to play the web-based Cost of Disease scenario for My Father’s Work by @PuppyShogun and @PlayRenegade. Also I made my own sound effects: open.spotify.com/playlist/3M…

Me: I can make an 18 card RPG.
My 80 card prototype replete with dice, player boards, and an entire craft store’s worth of bits and bobs: HAHAHAHA

Measuring spoons, but make them Matryoshka-doll demons who battle eternally in a flaming hellscape

Came to gawk at new baby cuteness, stayed for new game design hotness: playtesting Bag It! with designer @Junazaru and the littlest new member of the Asheville @GDofNC crew!

Just pre-ordered Merchants of Magic, a puzzly-fun roll and write I had the chance to playtest last Unpub. The art looks as good as the gameplay! kudos @StoicHamster @tlsim0ns @mgnade gamefound.com/projects/mike/…
Why, what do we have here? My kickstarter copy of The Great Barrier Reef by @kpiggottgames and @TravelBuddyGame has arrived! 💦

Thanks Jeff!
Renaissance Rivals is a deck- and tableau-builder with a twist: the market is a map of the Renaissance artworld, and movement is a challenge! 145 unique cards + a diverse cast of artists = oodles of replayability.
Calling @victoriacana, @StoicHamster, and @GheeDota!

I’m flattening the curve of my board game purchases, however, I can only continue to make this work if we all pull together. Pls share and retweet your encouragement

Roll-and-writes are great, but can we name some other games that don’t require sharing lots of physical components? One that comes to mind is Vast: The Crystal Caverns from @PatrickLeder and @LederGames. Players (mostly) have separate sets of cubes/disks/tokens/decks of cards.
A gamut of playtests at last night‘s Asheville @GDofNC meeting: 3-player game of Renaissance Rivals with improved scoring; Claire and Kevin show off their puzzly pattern-making game, Community Garden; and Ian gets edgy with tetrominos in The Plague Doctors 💀💀💀

Me, low key playing Irish Gauge at 0:12 with @FisherHeaton and crew at #TantrumCon @Tantrum_House @Capstone_Games
My daughter finding out how many dice a dice-chucker chucks while playing Dungeon Degenerates with our fancy new dice tower. Really happy she asked to play this game with me on the last day of 2019. Thanks @SEAN_AABERG @REALGOBLINKO
