I am beyond honored to win what I consider to be the most prestigious award in gaming…a Rammie. It means more to me than you can possibly imagine to have Ram give Cartel such an honor. ¡Órale!!

Simon did a bunch of amazing work on so many important mechanical pieces of T&O. Always, always honored to have them on our team!

@ScratchMechanic @Zelgadas Well… the publisher of Bulldogs! is @GalileoGames! I’d encourage you to reach out to them!

@ShammoStories Please don't decline! I think it's awesome that your library is invested in running a program for Hispanic Heritage month, and we need white allies who bring our games into new spaces! :)

@DThaumavore 3 minutes in: Wow. Like no one is set up. That's wild.
14 minutes in: Oh, man. We are all so screwed. No one is going to be ready.
22 minutes in: Okay, so I must be missing something. WE START TOMORROW.
30 minutes in: Oh, wait. It's fucking Tuesday.

[Mark Diaz Truman @trumonz]

It took me like thirty minutes of walking around the hall today to realize that Gen Con doesn’t start for two more days. It’s been a while since I’ve done a convention. 🤪
