It is better and more impactful to build up and amplify the things you love and agree with than to criticize and amplify the things you hate and disagree with.

I'm gettin' up to stuff. I think... maybe... I have a good idea. I don't know. We'll see.

Hey! Thanks for joining me in the Alt Text!

In Forged!, you play an honorless scalywag of a blacksmith in some kind of high-fantasy setting. Various adventurers pass through town, and you're kitting them out with powerful magical weapons. Here's the hitch: You don't know magic, and you don't know anybody who knows magic. You're selling mundane weaponry and passing it off as magical. How much money can you make before the heat gets too hot?

Forged! is meant to be a deck building and resource management game. The general idea is that the more stuff you do, the more junk cards (suspicion) you put into your deck.

I want to make it so that you really need to put suspicion into your deck to win, but too much will be problematic. Ride that line.

It's super new, I'm working on it, I don't know.

Thanks for joining me in the Alt Text!

This is precisely why I keep an e-meter in the bathroom.

I am currently inhabiting the intersection between sick and healthy where one basks in the euphoria of feeling relatively normal.

I made it to Big Game Bash. Now is the part of the con where I haunt the perimeter and drum up the courage to engage.

"I rolled damage."

"What did you roll?"

"The unshakable feelings of rejection and paralyzing self-doubt as one contemplates their own faulty perception of how they fit into various social circles. It's a crit."

Hello! I am looking for #gamereviewers to review the #boardgame Pyrotechnics! What's a good hashtag to get the attention of reviewers? Post in the comments, please.

Here's a video with a little more detail on the game:

Who posts this sign, where, and for whom?

Katz @amanpossessed.bsky.social · 7d

I’ve been lucky enough to find a pal with a similar mindset, and we pick one or two games to play every week until we’re exhausted of them.

Right now we’re on week nine of Men-Nefer and Agricola. It’s awesome.

According to that video, AI slop threatens to some day collapse the internet, so you need to buy their calendar.
