Airecon Highlight! Unreasonably excellent; introducing many lovely peeps to all sorts of historical games, chilling with the Osprey crew, a preview of the excellent Molly House (I was a horrible tratior), and finally the ultimate: bluffing games in the pub. 11/10
My first lead game at Osprey has been announced publicly, and I couldn't be more spoiled by how amazing a title it is, nor the ride it's been so far. To work on a design this slick and smart, with art from an all-time pro like Roland, was a total delight. Now on BGG@ https://bit.ly/3wuPfi9

New Job Alert! I have been delivered as one (1) Game Developer to Osprey Games. So many exciting projects 

They're here! The Austrians have arrived! (and the French...)

A big congratulations to Richard/Histogames, I'm sure this one feels like a victory from the jaws of defeat.

Momday night means Cardboard Emperors foe me. Really enjoyed trying out People Power for the first time. Very snappy for a COIN, takes some concerted effort to erode Govt patronage from the Reformers and NPA!
A note for any designers / aspiring designers near London. Every Friday, even gloriously sunny ones like the one we just had, PlaytestUK can be found sequestered in the cool of the national theater. Some pics from this week's session:
Starting the eve off tewching new peeps Turncoats, though I'm afraid to say that has done exactly nothing to dissuade me from evil plays
Got to play Horseless Carriage for the first time this eve, and was really impressed- the most legible Splotter I've played + all the depth and interaction. Still a tricky experience, but also immediately thematic and immediately awesome.
Bayonets & Tomahawks scenrio 3, the French cling on to Louisberg and harass their way through to Virginia just enough to get the year end VP. Fabulous asymmetry.
A GMT excitement day, my first game of Bayonets and Tomahawks was a narrow win for the French forces, and TS:Red Sea arrived!
