Tony MillerIt’s been a really rough week with work, my cousin’s death, and all the day-to-day nonsense, but then I see a post like this and I am moved to tears by what can be made possible…

CNY Game designer. Husband, Dad. Also writer, improv. He/him
I imagine a wealthy, boardgame-loving entrepreneur should start a games distribution business roughly 3-6 months ago.
I may not be a great parent 24/7, but I managed to keep the big OoT Zelda twist secret from my 8yo. Tonight I’m pretty cool for a hot minute.
Unbeknownst to me, 8yo started cataloging my collection. I told her she needs to star the ones she wants to try…
First game of ‘real’ Ticket To Ride with 8yo. She creamed me 186 - 100 with minimal help. 🥰
I highly recommend seeing The Fabelmens by yourself, alone in the theater, while you still can.
I have no stake in this, but I really wanted to share this beautiful xmas game bundle. A local friend's design (Galen) is one of the 12 games, and the card art is so charming. Like beatrix potter, with tongue in cheek. This is the first holiday game product I've ever purchased. Check it out!

But I’m so excited to meet y’all. I’m hopeful this is the first of many occasions I can try your games and connect with new friends. I’m hoping to find the same welcoming acceptance in person that so many of you have shown me online. Please, if you get a chance, stop by my unpub table and say hi. We can check in on each other to make sure we’re both doing well.
As we say in improv, I got your back. Peace.
I have identified all the publishers I would love to pitch, and I know the location of the AFK Room. I am packing prototypes and prescription brain drugs and melatonin. I have dedicated dozens of hours to this weekend. I’m as prepared as humanly possible. And I’m still a little terrified.
It’s hard to think of this event as part of the game design journey and not the final destination. It’s hard to believe that I will regulate my mental state with all the overstimulation.
