Because 90% of my game ideas are puns.

I feel like Dog Jostler should be a job title.

Is this an issue of security or proximity?

That sucks!

Is there a legal reason that you can't sell shirts with just the TM seal on them? That seems like it would be the popular item.

Nightsoil is an amazing design with significant depth of play. I'm deeply impressed by it. But it's not a fluffy experience.

the ability to steer cubes into an area controlled by an opponent to prevent them from collecting workers is a targeted and aggressive act. Possibly more passive aggressive, and made moreso by the metaphor that you're choking off a vital resource by showering them with poop.

As someone who has referred to your game as a wargame, I respectfully disagree. It's certainly not combat in the traditional sense. Unless we were playing it wrong, which could totally be the case (it was at First Looks at PaxU where it's easy to miss a rule or two on first play),

The thing that makes me happiest watching people play it is that there are so many games that include rules about players artificially having to declare some silly word that doesn't really affect game play. I don't say a thing about that in the rules and almost everybody announces every play.

Also I love the way you put that! I have a deep passion for game specific language bleeding out of the game space and I'm so thrilled that it happens frequently with "Not a Pipe".

Nice job! That's easily the highest score I've seen!

Here's hoping you don't find yourself "not winning".
November 26, 2025 at 4:04 AM
Totally agree! Big fan!

Sappy Mirthday!

Outstanding!

You want it next to the Expo Hall for exposure and foot traffic. But I find it highly unlikely that Pax will completely rearrange the Queue Hall pens for one event, so you're likely starting with the stanchion config as a fixed point.

I don't know how the decisions are made there. @dnlnwmn.bsky.social ?

This is only the second year and I'm sure there will be continued refinements as with all things Pax.

It's kind of a unique situation at the con requiring a combination of crowd control and flexible access to multiple vendors.

Not "supposed to". We all have our own distinct balance of self-care and insanity. And it's not like my massive pile of "inactive" projects aren't also taking up brain space.
