When I threw up the website for The Seahorse & The Hummingbird, I wasn't too concerned with the design. It wasn't time for that. I needed to focus on building a business and an infrastructure, not faffing about with pixel-perfect buttons.
But... now the time has come. 🧵 1 of 3

Pyrotechnics is as tightly wound as a classic abstract. Excellent trade offs and tension. Feels like a beefier game than its smol size. Great work by @backwardscapgames.bsky.social and @thinkdeepplaylight.bsky.social

BREAKING: I'm starting up a new line of games that I'll be putting out on @thegamecrafter.bsky.social. Some will be reprints of older Formal Ferret Games, some of these will be expansions to existing games, and some are going to be brand new.
Of course, I'm calling it Informal Ferret Games.

A little under 3 hours until the Midnight Market opens. It's a waning gibbous moon tonight, which means the games offered will be especially spectacular.

My boardgame heart is filled with joy and gratitude this weekend. My co-design w/ @muse-and-mettle.bsky.social was tabled for the 1st time with the pull print. Production copy of @thinkdeepplaylight.bsky.social's 1st release #pyrotechnics hit the table. And I picked up 4 sweet newish to me games.
