I just think if they let me get in there to jostle some of the dogs around a bit it would be more fun for the dogs and also me.

Evergreen opinion.

I also started Echoes of the Eye this year, but didn't manage to finish it for adjacent reasons. I really wish it relied less on stealth sections and horror because I love so much about what it's doing in between those moments.

Right back at you! Couldn't have done this weekend without you!

I wish we could have hung out more but it's always wonderful to see you and be around the light you bring to the places you are!

Audibly loled at this

I think there's an extremely valid argument that the wide adoption of sell sheets has only served to discourage innovative design approaches and create barriers to entry for new and marginalized voices in tabletop. And for some publishers, that's probably the point.

Possibly flour beetles? If you haven't already, you should probably check any bags of flour, rice, or grains you have lying around. Toss any foods they got into and thoroughly clean any appliances or cupboards where you found them. That should be enough.

Absolutely. The thing I'm working on definitely leans more Hearts than Bridge. I really need to check out Fishing.

Sounds like a pass for me tbh.

Are you going to any playtesting conventions soon?

That would be awesome! Aurum and Crisps are both on my list of games I need to check out because the one I'm designing combines trick taking and shedding. I'd love to see what you're currently working on as well!
