👏 Register to vote 👏 Verify your voter registration *and* polling place. Make a plan to vote, and cast your ballot early and in-person if you can. (Early voting begins on 10/19 in TX) Make sure others are prepared as well. Drive people to the polls if you can.

Ohhhh hell yes, I'm hyped we're getting more episodes!

She's missed you. Knights of Guinevere returns October 9. The season will feature 8 episodes.

I WENT 5-0, UNDEFEATED! The Palworld TCG is seriously a good game. And I hope it continues to be a good game. I had so much fun today. It made the whole trip worth it.

Project Hail Mary lives up to the book, and Ryan Gosling was perfect as Ryland Grave. I'm honestly not sure if I'll see another movie this year that will top it.

I had a great time in Vancouver too. It's a really nice city to vacation in. And it snowed on my last night here.

Thanks to everyone who played Warlord Protocol at @terminalcitycon.ca this weekend. I had a blast running playtests and received a lot of great feedback. I'm looking forward to the next convention :)

I'll definitely be going back to Dundracon next year!

Big thanks to everyone that play tested Warlord Protocol at @dundracon.bsky.social 2026! We got some great feedback on the game and had a lot of fun in the process!

Campaign nears its end, and so I'll do this together this time. But Exploration and Equipment cards share a similar layout after all, as well as usage of icons. And so, here's a little selection of item artworks. #cardgameart #itemart #boardgamesky

My last post for the day, I swear it😅

We've been hard at work overhauling Warlord Protocol's combat system to include more interaction. And a portion of that also means giving each card type more defined roles within the game. The reminder text on our basic cards give you a window into the changes to come :) #boardgames #boardgamedesign

I'm bad at social media and forgot to add hastags in the original post #boardgames #tabletopgames #boardgamedesign

Here's a look at some of the reworked cards we'll be featuring in the next Warlord Protocol prototype. All the illustrations for these cards were made by Felix Hidayat! Check out more of Felix's work on artstation: www.artstation.com/nekomancerz

I made a new account which is where I will be posting most of the updates for Warlord Protocol. Give it a follow to see what I've been up to during my 3 year hiatus from game dev!

It has been a long time since we posted anything about Warlord Protocol. A little over 3 years to be exact! We're now on bluesky after having deleted our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. We look forward to building a new community here and on discord! Give us a follow to see cool stuff!

Field Commander is a new addition to Warlord Protocol. The "deploy" keyword is a flavorful replacement for "play." And "exhaust" will be replacing "activate" in the next update. You can either exhaust an Infantry for its ability or to have it attack. To exhaust a card, you rotate it by 90°.

I redesigned the tokens for my deck-building game yesterday. I followed a YouTube tutorial for making realistic metal coins in Photoshop, and I'm very happy with the results :)

I ended 2025 with 29 books finished, here's what I read: The Sunlight Man Wind and Truth Arcanum Unbound Skyward Starsight Sunreach Redawn Evershore Cytonic Defiant Project Hail Mary The Frugal Wizard's Handbook The Martian Steelheart The Demon Haunted World Artemis Firefight Calamity Whitesand

Isles of the Emberdark Threebody Problem The Dark Forest Death's End Shadow and Bone Siege and Storm Ruin and Rising Six of Crows Crooked Kingdom King of Scars Project Hail Mary, Wind and Truth, and Six of Crows are easily the best books I read this year. Really looking forward to the PHM movie!

I spent the last 6 weeks getting this prototype for Warlord Protocol up to date, and now it's finally ready! The first playtest is this Friday, and I'm very excited to see how the changes I've made play out! Its been way too long since I've had the energy to practice game dev, and it feels amazing
