Had a short meeting with a publisher today to show off Have At Thee, and early sigbs are cautiously good! The game's a two player coop, which is a very niche genre, but would fit well within one of their lines.

Here's hoping!

In 2014, I designed a game called "Yo dawg, I heard you like moving gnomes. So move a gnome to move a gnome to move a gnome to maybe remove a tile."

It was for a 'redesign contest' and whilst I didn't win, I was a runner up and I got a free table at UKGE (my first time exhibiting anywhere), as well as vague interest from 2 publishers.

It's been a long time but this weird little 2-player thing is finally scheduled to come out - Spiel 2023.

I am taking commissions for custom erotica stories for adults and custom fairytales for children over on fiverr.

DM for a link (as I write erotica under a pseudonym) to pricelist etc

Hi all!
I am one #Boardgame #player short for a playtest tonight. The game is called Sidney's Quest by Five o'clock games. The goal is to become the village elder by acquiring experience points :)

Please let me know if you are available tonight for the playtest session on #TTS

people talking about the meta in fediblock tag are like car parked in the bike lane

Self Promo on Fedi, a Writer's Take

i meant to wait to do this until I was feeling better, but I'm actually feeling worse and the only thing I can do is spit out stream of conscious takes.

So I might as well.

I'm seeing a lot of posts about self promo, creatives being driven off by lack of self promo, etc.

Haven't seen anyone talk about ways to make self-promo work.

The rest will be unlisted and under a CW. Please boost.

@host would you mind sharing this? Vital Games | Geek & Southern | Lay It On The Table, Episode 014 https://www.layitonthetable.show/vital-games-geek-southern-lay-it-on-the-table-episode-014/

I see there's chatter about creators being discouraged from posting their shop links and promoting their art for sale etc. on fedi.

Most of the pre-influx userbase of the fediverse chose to come here because they're tired of corporations and capitalism. They are very eager to support indie creators and very receptive to seeing shop links, Patreon/Ko-Fi links, commission sheets, etc.

I encourage our members to share their shop links liberally. People want to support you here. 💜

Your picture of your game/cat/pun/etc. made me smile but I'm not going to boost it without alt text.

When you upload the picture, there's an "Edit" button that allows you to include a caption as well as some other options.

If you need, there's a more detailed explanation here: https://edtechfactotum.com/adding-alt-text-and-more-to-images-in-mastodon/

If you use an app, please reply with instructions on how to add alt text in that app, so we can all learn together.

@host @gpage @Meeple Thanks for doing this @host 👍

@Kerpob started a new instance focused on miniature gaming as well.
