Thought it'd be good to do an introduction post - Hi! I'm Adam, an escape game, puzzle box, solo ttrpg, and board game designer.
The pictures are of my puzzleboxes, my solo/coop card game "My Small Garden", one of the rooms in my Air BnB game, and elements from my escape game builds.

I've played just a few levels and I'm really excited to go deeper.
I've barely posted on this kind of social media anywhere but I have a reason to now. I made a game!!
It's called nuworm and you can play it for free in the browser.
I worked on it over three years, it might take you three hours to experience. cubestudio.itch.io/nuworm

Of course I would say this, but we need to talk about the moral & ideological case for play & leisure more than ever. So much political discourse - especially from the super-rich - assumes we ought to construct society around forcing citizens to spend most of their one, unrepeatable life working.

After 72 hours, we're ALMOST at 100 copies of Crownfell sold!
To get all three items to 25% off, we only need:
- 3 more copies of Crownfell
- 11 more mats
- 18 more copies of Last Stand
I'm impressed with how *almost everyone* is getting the solo expansion. Solo play is incredibly important! 🎲✂️

Mass market games are more likely to be sold in "normal" stores instead of hobby stores/direct sales. Also less likely to have the designer credited (or framed as "a game by" x), more likely for games to be "owned" by the publisher.
It's a little like trying to separate a movie from an "art movie".

Is there a generally understood definition of hobby board games vs. Mass Market board games? 🎲✂️
It feels wrong to me to just chalk it up to the number sold, but I'm not sure why that is.
