Matrix itself was pretty easy (though I haven't spent the time to setup voice chat yet)
Most of the setup time was spent figuring out how to bridge between discord and matrix, ended up using github.com/mautrix/disc... which works well except emoji reacts aren't bridged from matrix -> discord 🤷

I’m thrilled to share we have a special video going through *every* game at the 2025 Indie Games Night Market (at PaxU)!
We’re working with @dnlnwmn.bsky.social, some awesome designers, playing some games, all to give you a thorough set of previews & reviews to see the games you won’t want to miss~
After last year's Out of Sorts, I've been looking forward to seeing what @connor.alwaysawake.games would come up with next. Turns out, the next thing is two very different board games about the afterlife: Club Spooky and That's the Spirit! My review: spacebiff.com/2025/10/15/c...
Today I'm releasing The Eternal Empress, a short location-based adventure for the Appendix N. jam. #osr
Special thanks to @explorersdesign.bsky.social and Gus L. for the great cover and map!

PAXU Microreviews!
awkwardturtle.games/boardgames/2...
I wrote small reviews for all 20 something #boardgames I played over the weekend of PAX unplugged.
I had the good pleasure of reading proof copies of some of these adventures and they're great! Full of great ideas for mousey adventures and fantastic art and graphic design to tie them all together. So happy these are finally released! 🐭
Feathertail Falls is out now on Itch!

Haha, I was very prepared! I had an "optimized route" for booths I knew I wanted to make purchases at and Saashi & Saashi was high on the list, I was lucky enough to grab the actual last one!
Pictured is a lot of board game boxes including: Bus & Stop, Remember our Trip, 1 A.M. Jailbreak, High Tide (bring your own pieces version), Yokai Septet, Deep Sea Adventure and Souvenirs from Venice felt case from Oink, Modern Art Oink edition, Leviathan Wilds, Spectral, Out of Sorts, Gachapon Trick, Agency, Draught Trick, Fairy, Prey, Deep Sea Mines, Ito, Typeset, The Werewolves bEat Robbers' Horror
The #paxu haul! Games from the fantastic Indie games night market, Tokyo games market, some great exhibitors (Saashi finally in the US!), and some flea market acquisitions. A successful pax!
We played a mysterious game that doesn't exist at #PAXU!
It was extremely fun! I would totally purchase it IF IT ACTUALLY EXISTED IN OUR UNIVERSE.
Pocket mod of Chubby Bear Salmon Gobble, illustrated with a bear trying to catch fish. On the table next to it is a bear shaped box filled with fish shaped dice.
A bunch of fish shaped dice sitting in a bear shaped box lid.
A blue 3d printed six sided fish die.
A yellow 3d printed four sided fish die.
A friend of mine printed fish dice for my little PnP board game: Chubby Bear Salmon Gobble!
They're so good! Look at these little guys!

A neon pink box and instruction manual labeled with stark white text FRUIT FIGHT. Another box and adjacent deck of cards has colorful blurry art of various fruits as though in motion. The front side of some cards are visible, each contains one of the blurry, in-motion fruit with a corresponding number , grape - 3, peach - 6, blueberry - 9
@cmyk.games What is this Eldritch object we found in the PAX unplugged library? A simple, super fun Reiner Knizia push-your-luck game. But I can find no evidence that it actually exists online. Did we stumble upon a board game cryptid?
This shopping season, maybe it's time to take a little pause and think "You know what? I deserve a life where a talented artist sometimes emails me dragon wizards I can either admire or use in my own projects."

Ran Road Work from Hull Breach tonight. By @brstf.games. Great time for the entire table. Players understood & enjoyed all the same moments I enjoyed while reading it.
Brilliance of the scenario is 10 pages gives me just enough to be ready for anything while blending in my own methods and ideas.
