@UpsizeFun I have railed multiple times in my game design career. Success in a not defined by your failures, but by your ability to learn and continue moving ahead. Keep going, you’ll get there

@NintendoAmerica my oldest has made his own Mario kart board game, complete with question blocks, 10 characters, and 8 tracks! I promised to help him make a better looking version of it

@TheNazzaro I teach a game design course a few times a year, and one of the points I go over is how to talk with artists and not be insulting of their time and work.
Designers need artists, not the other way around, so be respectful

@ranty_boy @JewelStaite Where did you get this!!!! I have never needed something so much

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

@PangeaBG I needed to prove to somebody that I owned the original civ game

@JGLjen @OOMMGames It was great to run into you this morning! We did an exchange from the back of the car out front of Hyper Hippo. Board games are the new commodity for back of car exchanges

@JGLjen @OOMMGames @BrendanMcCask @rocketsnail @lancepriebe @BoxCritters @IslandQueenJen Yay!

@NeilNic76788856 Sorry about the long delay in replying

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

@NeilNic76788856 Great question! You may refill energy AND you may place a new path tile. You do not need to refill energy to place the new path tile

Running a #rpg campaign. Tonight’s campaign had the players avoid going to jail as pirates by convincing the captain of the ship that captured them that they were on a holy mission given to them by a sky whale. #facepalm, #greatrolls, #silly, #rollplaying

@CritterCircleBC @OOMMGames @JukeBC @LokiTerry @snu_art @JGLjen Your welcome. It was fun to do

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

@KelseyKritters @CritterCircleBC @OOMMGames @JukeBC @LokiTerry @snu_art @JGLjen Glad you enjoyed it! I’ll pop back in once in a while

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

@j_weaves Sadly, have not had the chance to play it yet

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

Shelfie time!
I still have more in my office, and some were “borrowed”....
Show me yours as well! I’d love to see it!

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

Sometimes when working on a prototype you just need to raid old games for pieces. The original Civilization board game and TI 3 were raided for this one

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

@Tech70CP @BoxCritters There are plans for the future. Many other priorities to go first

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

Been working on the Hamsters prototype more today. Hoping to have the chance to test the latest changes later today.

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

@Tech70CP @BoxCritters Did you get the chance to try out the starship room several months ago?

[jonathan thwaites @jonathanthwait1]

Flux. The game of ever changing rules; aka any game with a 7 year old. I do love encouraging their creativity though.

Rhino’s are just overweight unicorns.
Convince me otherwise.
