Gotham FC suffered a brutal 2-0 loss to the shield winners Saturday evening as the playoff push continues. We talk through what made the Bats so helpless against the Current, as well as where they could have done better.

BaltimoreComiccon.bsky.social is upon us, and every year, they release a themed "Yearbook" to coincide with the convention. The theme is Jeff Smith's BONE, and I decided to honor not just Jeff Smith, but Charles Vess as well by doing my take on ROSE, their graphic novel prequel.

It was the Pyramid Arcade precursor (Icehouse tubes) that got me started in game design.

It still blows my mind that I became a published game designer before (my childhood answer to "what do you want to be when you grow up?") a published novelist.

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 8d

If you are a game designer of any kind, board game, ttrpg, video game, whatever… you really owe it to yourself to get a copy of Pyramid Arcade. Not only does it come with a ton of great games, it is the single greatest sandbox for design imaginable.

It’s one game that will never leave my collection

For SI, I dug deep with #GothamFC’s newest midfielder Jaedyn Shaw. We talk about her time at the Courage, persevering through the challenges, and finding her fit.

"Her performances with Gotham—four appearances in the NWSL and two in the Champions Cup—have been littered with moments that made me gasp and giggle because, teehee, Jaedyn Shaw is having fun again."

Am I sorry to miss NYCC this year? Yes.

Does it make me feel slightly better that it's because I'll be at Wild West Hackin Fest in Deadwood SD signing an *exclusive* one-shot of THE FUTURE IS ****** featuring this DOPE PAUL POPE COVER w/our main character Wheeler?

Yes. Yes it does.

Hey, that's me!

Thanks for playing.

Fun fact, Penguin Soccer by Avri Klemer went on to become its own game outside the pyramid world👍

It’s quite a delightful tit for tat contest. Our game below ends with cyan scoring the final goal even though my green moms splashed back into play the turn before.
