Today is the tenth anniversary of my heart attack (Facebook told me). It's safe to say that one of my gaming buddies saved my life (he's also an RN and wouldn't take no for an answer when I decided it wasn't serious enough to call 911 or go to the ER). If you have an RN (or other medical professional) tell you to go the hospital, I'd listen.

I celebrated by going to the gym first thing, then balloons at the library, a trip to cardiac rehab, and more balloons at a park this afternoon (it was unseasonably warm in the Detroit suburbs today; very close to 60 farenheit (15.5 celsius). I had a great time with balloons, about 20 in an hour at the library and then about 60 in 2 hours at the park).

On December 7, 1941 your world turned upside down and ever since then, it has been spinning off-kilter. In a surprise attack at dawn, the Imperial Japanese Navy sent bombers which rained destruction upon the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Within ninety minutes, four battleships — battleships! -- had been sunk. Another dozen ships had been sunk or damaged. Hundreds of aircraft were destroyed. Thousands of Americans, both military and civilians, lay dead or wounded.

While you were trying to reconcile how your ancestral homeland of Japan could attack America, the country you call home, others were looking for someone to blame. Starting that day, thousands of Japanese-Americans have been taken into custody. FBI agents continue to raid businesses and homes searching for enemies. They have arrested community leaders, clergy, shop owners, and farmers. They have confiscated treasured calligraphy deciding that it contains coded messages. They have dragged their hands through bags of rice looking for contraband.

Isamu, the man of the house, was swept up in a raid at your family's tailor shop in January. You've received a short letter from him. At least you know that he is alive. That is more information than many families have.

The adults in your community have been dreading and worrying that all of you will be forced to leave. It's already happened in other Japanese-American communities along the West Coast. It is hard to know what is real and what is rumor.

It is now March. You've received instructions to report to the County Fairgrounds tomorrow. You can bring bedding and one suitcase per person. You look at all that you have built up over the years, at your home and your tailor shop, and wonder how much of it you can fit in one suitcase per person. You do not know where you are going, how long you will be gone and what might be useful.

Let's just say that that "On borrowed time..." is catching up with me. I'm fine. We're all fine. Just stress. I've got a plan. Mom has questions. I've officially started my trial of Component Studio. There are growing/learning pains. But there are "aha" moments as well. And Google Fonts have been an amazing addition to my life. I'm juggling PNGs, JPEGs, SVGs, and TIFFs left, right, and center. But I do have something to share:


Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice has a new logo! The artwork is all mine and the fonts are 100% useable for the forthcoming Game Crafter edition! Woot! The rules sheet is almost done (I need the game images and scoring examples and for that I need the cards redone) and the cards... are getting there.

Today's date is 2/18/2026.

If everything goes according to plan, I should be ordering 5 prototypes from The Game Crafter, LLC in early March. Once they arrive and I check everything over (and hopefully there are no corrections), photos, videos, and promo materials will be my next task. And then, I'll get to make my little shop page on The Game Crafter, LLC. The plan is for my first 5 games to be available by mid-March. Of these 5 games, the only 2 you've seen before are Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice and Fireworks for the 4th. The former hasn't changed much. A bit of clean-up. The latter... expect big changes for Fireworks for the 4th: Semiquincentennial Edition!

The remaining 3 games are entirely new and all tie into America's upcoming 250th birthday. Yes, I'm taking advantage of the semiquincentennial to help me sell some games. Will it work? I don't know. But, I do know that if I let this opportunity pass without taking advantage of it that I'll regret it. The 3 new games are The United Cards of America, a 108-card set collection game for 2-4 players, Liberty, Death, or Taxes, a bluffing party game for up to 8 players, and Lincoln's Cat, a smaller, simpler, solo-only take on my ongoing series of cat-themed in-hand card games. No custom card-holder. Just 36 cards in your hand.

The Bears love Bows pitch seems to have gone silent, I'm on pins and needles to see how Composer's Cat does in the Cardboard Edison, and things are just super stressful right now. There's so much I need to do, so much I want to do, and I just really need to find a bit of balance. Monk's Cat and Unlucky Spirits, Revised Edition are my non-Game Crafter priorities right now. And though it pains me to put new ideas on hold, getting my existing games actual homes- on The Game Crafter or with traditional publishers- has to be my focus right now. No 9-Card Contest this year. Period. And I may end up forgoing the Children & Family Game Design Contest too... I tend to do well and I enjoy designing family games... but games for under 14s can't go on The Game Crafter and I haven't had luck finding a traditional publisher for any of my existing games just yet... so it kinda doesn't make sense to keep designing new games when I have a backlog of games that need to find homes. Does that make sense?

Anyway, Elder Sign: Omens of the Pharaoh is still happening soon. I had to put it away unplayed (gah! the horror! the shame!) as Mom needed the table. That said, I will get back on top of my socials and BGG stuff. I just need to show Mom something concrete first. If I can get Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice done in the next few days, then Mythic Mondays will finally return next Monday. If not... it might be 2 Mondays... We'll just have to see.

Game Over On borrowed time...

Happy Wednesday and happy playing!
