@romanmars.bsky.social - loving the video game series you’re currently doing with Ben Brock Johnson! Can you share this with him? The anime series Hi-Score Girl might really hit home for him with his core memories being of Japanese arcades in the early years!

I think I will enjoy reading your choices as were of the same generation of gaming just separated by a sizeable amount of salt water. Happy birthday! I bought the second trade of The Power Fantasy to celebrate ;)

If you like deduction games, check out Corps of Discovery. It looks like a survival game, but it's really about using logic and deduction to maximize your chances of succeeding.
Played 4 games this weekend, big hit with my wife.

Great design by @senfoonglim.bsky.social and Jay Cormier. 😍
