Video work today. And socials. The tutorial for the print & fold tuck boxes should go live tomorrow and the new edition of Bears love bows is almost ready to share...

And the Ascension League is back in session. Woot! Did you see the preview for The Lord of the Rings: Ascension??? It looks amazing! And I'm super curious to how LotR is going to work in Ascension... that said, I also doubt it's in my budget for this year...

In other news, I did manage to play on BGA for a bit too. One of my latest favorites is Dice Forge. I just love experimenting and upgrading the dice sides.

I lost my latest game, but it was close!

Also, I really, really, really wish they'd fix the bug on Eruption! You can still turn the tiles... but you can't see it turn... until you lock it in *sigh*.

What have you been playing lately? Any crowdfunding campaigns catch your eye?

Happy Monday and happy playing!

Explore a strange and imaginative RPG world of ecological science fantasy with the memorable characters of Cloud Empress.

Gameward Bound Update

Most of this post was already typed up a few days ago. I’ll be on a short break for 1-3 weeks due to another break… I tripped, fell, and fractured my elbow over the weekend. No worries: I’m on the mend and doing OK! But typing one-handed with my non-dominant hand is a little tricky. I shall return, though, with lots more posts and my usual terrible jokes! Take care!

Spoiler Alert

As a hexcrawl adventure, the descriptions of what each hex contains are included. Although the interpretation and what happens can vastly differ, note that this post includes spoilers for hexes B12, B18, and the surrounding areas. That may be too specific to care, yet if you’re planning to play and know you’ll be headed there shortly, feel free to skip over this post!



I first learned of The Bonsai Diary from its designer, and I was intrigued from the start! Solo journaling RPGs can be excellent, yet this promises a more unique experience. Tracing through the pages with brush strokes, which can simply come from a pen or marker, follows the life of a bonsai, complete with writing prompts! Onto a new, quiet sort of journey.

The Solo Protocol

What makes this one stand out for the solo experience is the way characters are created. It’s less about playing someone to survive or do well, and more about following a party.

I originally envisioned a duo, but a fun roll during creation added on a third character. Welcome back Moody Bubble, Sapphire the Moldy, and Duke Spoon! Can’t forget them!

The strength is in these mood wheels, though. These help determine how a character acts in an unknown situation.

Absolutely fantastic! I didn’t have programmed behaviors, but feelings to apply to each situation per character.
