What a proud yet strange day. After 6 years of availability, we've sold our last copy of the first printing of Bring Your Own Book (crowdfunded in 2015). This means there are effectively no English editions for sale, as the Gamewright and Scholastic editions are out of print. 📭

@JoyKirr @TerriEichholz @lindsayannlearn @TCEA @Aricfoster2 Indeed, Game of Quotes is a reimplementation of Bring Your Own Book, hence the similarities. 😉

I want to go to there.

This has got me wondering what it would look like to export a full game of https://t.co/ycw0lqnqiE as side-by-side Townscaper villages of different rows for each round. 🤔

(Right now, you can't export the detailed results of a Twindle game as anything, but still...hrm.)

This madman actually went ahead and wrote a Wordle-to-Townscaper converter (like 2 seconds after I jokingly floated the idea). To mark the occasion I'll reluctantly share my embarrassing attempt at today's Wordle.

@DWP_Blog Didn't make it to GenCon, but my package for Light In The Mist arrived last week. Excited to have some bite-sized puzzle adventure fun times with the crew: https://t.co/Uqlrb9HGJL

@DWP_Blog No need to be desperate! 😁 The English language print-and-play edition is free on our website: https://t.co/Tz2f6DNTXp

English retail editions are all out of print, but we're always looking for a new publishing partner. 🔎 Feel free to mention this to any cool pubs you meet. 😉

"Less Than 2%" : The name of a popular new indie band.

Cannot recommend playing Bring Your Own Book with ketchup packets...but that band could be fresh.
