Game designer.
I walked 85 miles this week - my biggest week of the summer. Met this fearsome looking fellow along the way. Probably a North American Racer, but could've been an Eastern Ratsnake. This was at Blue Hill in Massachusetts.

Because who doesn't need a battery powered flashlight/TV/CD player?

This past month I walked 205 miles. These are a few of the friends I met along the way!

Found this vintage 1950's Play the Monkey Organ at an arcade in Salisbury Beach, MA today.

I love how this little plant is proving that even amidst a world of stone, Life Will Find a Way.

I don't know these birds, but I can tell you Dad is getting an earful from his kid and Mom is eavesdropping because she “tried to tell him…”

Josh and the Walpole T-Wolves won the championship tonight!
A huge howl 🐺for the whole team!

Just saw a weird thing in the night sky. It lasted at least 3 min. At 1st I thought it was the space station. No. It emitted a visible gas cloud and broke into several pcs. Saw 3 flashes. Eventually it blinked out near Orion. Weirdest. Thing. Ever. Did you see it too? See pics below.

Found this Pac Man game at the thrift a few days ago. The components include a Pac Man who makes the real wakawaka noise, lifelike plastic ghosts, plastic pegs that you push down when you eat them, a sturdy plastic board, and thick cardboard tokens.
Great fun to see it on the table!

My codesigner Josh is a fast runner. As such he has qualified for Nationals in the 1000M and the Mile. His mile time has dropped to about 4:46.
Awesome job dude!

I Found Bigfoot is a casual set-collection Cryptid game we will have on Kickstarter late Feb.

If you’re a reviewer and interested in previewing a demo copy (or would like to do an interview) send me a DM.

Done. Still working out the bugs but Orcas vs the Yacht Sea is ready to try out - and 2 days early!

docs.google.com/document/d/1...

It's barely been tested and is only about 10 days in since the idea came about. The goal was to be done by New Year's Day :)
Primary mechanic is dice - esp. Yahtzee.

Today Josh ran his best ever mile (4:48), won his heat and finished 1st among Frosh. 13th of 138 overall! He still thinks he can do better but I've been telling him to enjoy the moment.
Great run dude!

So it seems that Tiny Tim (not the Dickens one) has his own board game.
The Tiny Tim Game of Beautiful Things was published by Parker Brothers in 1970.
It flopped. Nonetheless it is on my wish-list of games for sure!

Awesome night at the Walpole Cross Country banquet/celebration. The teams had great years - and Josh was awarded the outstanding Freshman award which I feel was well-earned. What an amazing season! Thanks coaches!

The Walpole High cross country team had an AWESOME day today!
Josh set a personal best with a 17:15 5K and his team won the state title!

Fantastic job athletes and coaches!
