I didn’t really post any pictures from PAX Unplugged nor the awesome BostonFIG, but this picture pretty sums up why I make games. So glad for the opportunities to share and bring some family fun!

So many fun moments at @unpub.bsky.social Unpub Prime this weekend. Here’s a fun photo dump of many games. But, I’d say the sweetest moments were helping other designers with their projects. Good luck all!

Heard a very interesting and curious bird call while walking in the park. Whipped out the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Merlin app to identify the species. Apparently this is the “kids on squeaky swings” migration season! :)

How cool are these components?!
I really like how the freighter models turned out 🎲✂️

That awkward timeframe between getting a FedEx notice that the publisher is returning your prototype and getting the e-mail saying they’re passing….
At least I have fair warning! :)

At PAX Unplugged next weekend? Please come checkout some of my projects! I'm sharing Campfire Smokeout at the KnightMoves Indie Cafe (Sat/Sun) and Rover Roll Over and other prototypes in the @unpub.bsky.social room (Fri/Sun). Would love to see you! 🙂

I love Kids Con New England and the Kids Con NE Maine 2023 each Nov!
And I love sharing Campfire Smokeout, too! Here’s the fun crew from today. Can’t wait for the next one!

A tale of two Veterans!
My father served during Vietnam. Not too many pictures of his military days.
I followed in his footsteps and proudly served in the same Air Force.
And we both had support of women who served along side, keeping our homefronts strong. Grateful to each!

I gotta give thanks to @jeffjohnstonpojg.bsky.social for some of my fav moments from past Extra Lifes. And my gaming group always turned out to help me get through it one way or another.
