From Computer Game Design to Board Game Design

Agricola and the idea of playing Caverna have completely hooked me recently. These amazing games add so much depth, and are great games to learn. There is so much to learn, and so much fun to be had from playing these games! Check out why game developers of all types and genres should play these games.

The bravest person I know.

Take a moment and read this article. It barely hints at the terrible treatment that people can inflict when you get your game on Steam Greenlight... if you happen to be female. Through facebook I saw a little bit more of what this struggle was really like and I do not know 1/10th of what actually happened. If you want to know the bravest person, check out Zoe Quinn and Depression Quest. You can play the game for free on the website. If it impacts you emotionally, purchase the game and support what she's trying to accomplish. Alternately be her patron.

Edit:
And now Game_Jam. Just another mountain of shit on someone who does not need it. They tried to hold a $400,000 game jam and record it. And one man ruined it all.

And now she's upgraded herself into a cyborg. With a giant fucking needle. Yeah. Super brave! I'm just gonna go and do my socially unacceptable larp stuff in obscurity, because I am not that awesome.

Larp Notes.

A quick note. Got one practice in this past Sunday. It is a little to cold in New England to really get out there. Fortunately 'official' practice is starting on the 30th! I am super excited to get the season underway. And very sore from only an hour of practice. Larp definitely requires different muscles than those worked at the gym. Or maybe I haven't figure out the gym yet.
