Me at #PAXU, but replace music with convention static.

I’m going to accept this as an appropriate sign off from the convention as I make my way home. See ya next year.

Demonstrating Match Hatchery has been a magical experience. Playtesting the game with game designers is one thing. Introducing the game to folks who just wanna have a good time is a whole other thing.

I’m ready to Match and I’m ready to Hatch. Are you? Come ‘n’ get it! Find me at the Origami Whale demo table all day today and let’s play Match Hatchery!

I’ve been demo-ing Match Hatchery all day today and it’s been amazing! I’ll be demo-ing all day tomorrow, too; come find me at the Origami Whale Games table in the demo area. Let’s have a game! If you come during the later half of the day, you can watch my brains liquefy!

The camera angle creates a neat illusion. At a glance, I was like, "Why are some of them flat on the ends?"

#BoardGames Night! I finally got to use an expansion deck with Agricola. Usually when bringing Agricola to the table, somebody has never played before, so I've only ever used the base deck. Fun times!

* Earth
* The White Castle
* Switchbacks
* Agricola (with Artifex Deck expansion)
* Forest Shuffle

It's fun to see Pyrotechnics out in the world.

Okay, I did a quick solo playtest of Forged!. It's difficult to test solo, really, because the main drive of the game is brinksmanship. But it works. It might be too fiddly, but it works. I think. Unless it doesn't. Time to get it to the table.

Heyyo! If you're going to be at #PAXUnplugged, come find me on the exhibition floor at the Origami Whale Games booth where I'll be demonstrating my game, Match Hatchery!

Thanks! And, agreed. This was my comment on it yesterday.

Work in progress. This isn't exactly the vibe I'm going for overall, but it's shaping up. Lots of tweaks and nips and tucks will get it there eventually.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.

I haven't felt this good about a new design in a little while. Here's hopin'.

In Forged!, you play as an unscrupulous reprobate of a blacksmith. You sell mundane "treasures," passing them off as magical. How much money can you grift before the heat gets too hot?

A wonderful October for #boardgames.

If anybody wants to know what a 58-point game of Agricola looks like, have a gander. I will never, ever reach this score again.
