This past weekend was the Granite Games Summit (a.k.a. G2S) Fall convention in Nashua, NH. Jason from Button Shy was there, along with a few Button Shy designers - we thought we share a few pictures of the fun.   Ryan from Cardboard Republic and his tiny hand.      The hotel at G2S had a full on pirate ship.      Shooting the Universal Rule Kickstarter video.      Universal Rule with Ninja: Silent But Deadly designer Ben Gerber.     Chip teaching Smoke & Mirrors.      Somebody Ninja'd Jason.     Daniel Newman teaching Ahead In The...

It’s been one week since Gen Con and I think I am finally back to normal. Why? Well it’s a few days of nonstop action, little-to-no sleep (between 0 and 3 hours a night for three straight nights) and 60,000 people. It’s hard to recover, especially if you end up with Con Crud. Hee hee hee…. Let’s talk about what I did this year.     -My flight was delayed 4 times and I strolled into my hotel room at 3:30AM on Friday. I hope I didn’t bug my roommates too much, while I was shuffling in and meeting some...

This is super exciting. Our little Pretense (the game night social metagame that comes packaged in a wallet), was nominated for the awesome Philly Geek Awards Game of the Year! This is beyond exciting.  The Philly Geek Awards is a black tie celebration of geekness, starting with things like games and movies and going deeper into science and events and social media and more. It's held at the Academy of Natural Sciences, a museum that I go way back with. I went there many times as a kid and young adult, and will be taking my kids soon enough know that...

Although it's an hour earlier than there, I waited until too late to announce his arrival.  But it's not too late for the following dates. We are looking for playtesters, designers, game nights, game groups.... to welcome Ben on the following evenings: Tuesday May 26 San Francisco Wednesday May 27 Seattle - After 8pm Tuesday June 2 Houston Wednesday June 3 Dallas Fort Worth and possibly June 15ish Boston I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ben doesn't bite. Unless...

If there's a convention that I've sworn off, it's Congress of Gamers. It's not even the convention's fault or anyone involved with it. It's simply that it's an expensive drive, at almost $35 in tolls for a 6 hour round trip. Mix that with the traffic ticket that I received in the mail last year, and add the rest stop $3 ATM fee because I THOUGHT $30.00 cash would cover all tolls... and you've got one unhappy Congress member.But what brings me back each year is the Unpub room. This is a small convention, with an even smaller Unpub room. I've barely...
