On Geek Blogs and Dice Rollers
by [username=Bifford]Bifford[/username]

It seems the admins have been mucking about with the blogs and Dice Roller (GUI) this past week. It started with the die roller moving behind a dots menu, but we had that overturned and it reverted thank goodness. Polls and Quiz are now also out in the open, not that they are really needed. Now it's the turn of the blogs to get mucked about with. In itially I could not create "future" template blog posts because the scheduling feature wouldn't work - the post just disappeared. It turns out you have to now put a time in (previously it defaulted to 00:00) manually for it to take hold (thanks, Steve!). Quite why they've changed that, or why it doesn't throw up an error, is beyond me. The layout has changed for whatever reason, too, as have several other things, none of which appear to be useful changes. I'll get used to them in time, but I have to wonder "why?".

Every day there's a new Question of the Day. Most of them are game-related but once in a while we get one that'a more geek-related like favorite movies or books. The question changes every day and you can even suggest a QOTD. When you check out this week's Question of the Week, you can see a link to all the old questions and the chance to suggest a question of your own. Here's this week's QOTD:
QOTD FEB 18: Do you use Generic/Setting Agnostic systems? Would you rather play a system built with a specific setting in mind or tinker with a generic system until it fits that setting?

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!
