Time to make the donuts
We’ve reached the stage with the Fun Factory Kickstarter where tough choices have to be made. Which great ideas make it in, and which get saved for the future?
I love this stage when there are too many good ideas, and you still feel like you’re getting enough done.

I’m up early like a kid on Christmas morning.
The Forge Fire POD site is in soft launch, you can check out the presents, but I would suggest you wait to open them. We are still waiting on a few items.

Back from Gencon with lots of amazing memories. I do have one that is evading me. One of my friends gave me this printed 20 sided die. I can remember the moment it happened, them going into their bag to get it. I cannot remember who it was. I want to thank them for this die that NEVER misses. HELP

When you see how awesome Mystic Lands looks remember that I used this photo to try and explain part of the vision. The actual product looked nothing like this thank goodness.

I am seeing spoilers for the new Warlord out on the web. They have done a great job upgrading the game. Very exciting stuff.

Smash-Up players can't post memes like this now. :) Even if they are true and funny. A flood of new info about Smash-Up is hitting the streets. New Factions are featured in the Fun Factory Kickstarter. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ald...

I am working on contacting companies about the Gencon shopping spree we are giving away at our 30th anniversary party. Lot's of friends willing to help out. It's going to be great.

Still working on that timeline, but I had to take a break to share photos of the stunning Tsuro edition I received from @calliopegames.bsky.social A Kickstarter I backed a couple years ago. Now THIS is premium and totally worth the wait.

I walked the hall with Ryan and we hung out after show hours, talking about Magic. Everyone was obsessed. It was wild. The industry had never seen anything like it. By the end of the show, we were kicking around the idea of making a CCG of our own....so was every other company at that show. #1TBZ

This photo captures the moment perfectly: three guys, a cheap banner, a mountain of magazines, and absolutely zero clue what we were doing. First Gen Con. No sleep. All heart. #1TBZ

Jolly was still working at a print shop and with issue 7 and 8 we went to 8.5x11, it was finally big enough for ads, but the readership was still small. We looked at White Wolf and heard they gave away 10K issues at Gencon. We decided to go for it, that became the goal. Gencon or Bust #1TBZ

One of my oldest best friends, terakmando.bsky.social dropped by. To go way back, to the real beginning, his sister bought him the original blue box D&D set, before there were even dice. We pulled chits from a cup and built worlds
Those were great days. I miss you too, brother

In 1992 I walked into a print shop and saw a free magazine on the counter. It was a copy of Shadis. I didn’t know it at the time, but picking up that wonderful little magazine changed my life #1TBZ
