DEER! has gotten a newΒ look!
In preparation for both the Kickstarter later this year, but also my appearance at Dice Tower West next week, where I will have a booth, Tristam Rossin has been hard at work helping me give my game this new amazing look! The base game for DEER!, including box and cardβ¦

Itβs 6am, what prototype are you working on? Oh, youβre schedule is more sane than mine? Lucky!
This morning, Iβm working on the physical prototype for PEOPLE!, my follow up game to DEER!. Players use Urban road rules to avoid hitting other cars and people.

Prototype of my Sled Dog roll and write will be with me at DTW π #gamedesign #gamedesigner
Second verse, same as the first! Good morning all! Today weβre working on stickering custom dice for a roll & write prototype. #gamedesign #gamedesigner #gamermom
When the kids decide its time to get up at 5am, it means an early prototyping session with Monster . Working on most up to date Rescue Dogs prototype before DTW. #gamedesigner #gamedesign #gamermom
Iβve got a demo table for my game DEER! at Dice Tower West! If youβre going to be there, come say Hi and check out the game, only takes 3-5mins. Iβll also have this small handful of Mini-DEER! to give out to interested creators. These are small sized promotional copies. #DEER! #dicetowerwest

I have had some great movement with DEER! The High Speed Reaction Card Game in the last few weeks, so I wanted to jump on here and share with yall everything that has been happening lately. I'm very excited by all of this positive movement. Art & Graphicβ¦
Even more SETI with Space Agencies! Game 5/10 at least ;)
Earlier this year, I backed several games from the BackerKit Pocketopia event. Just got my copy of the Foxy Deck. A standard deck of playing cards with this awesome fox art! Loving it!
Got Forestry, Sanctuary, Rowdy Partners, and Up or Down to the table last night to get ready for Day 1 of Pax Unplugged. If youβre here, come see me at the Capstone Games booth. Hall opens at 10am
Registered to go back to school. Looking to take some additional classes on marketing and business to help with launching my own business, but then working towards a Masters in Marketing in the next couple of years. Here we go again. #foreverstudent #settingmyselfupforsuccess
Finishing making our way through The Hobbit: There & Back Again, then maybe some smaller solo games. www.twitch.tv/gamezmama
I did my first solo game stream this morning and played The Hobbit: There & Back Again. Then broke it out this evening over chicken nuggy dinner with the family. This is a fun solo game, but definitly shines in multi-player mode! My 7 year old really had fun with it. #gamerparent #gamerkid
Finally got around to putting together my desk extensions to create more usable space to do some board game streaming. Still gotta stain the extensions, but looking good and weβre going to try a test game in a little bit! Playmat is an accidental perfect fit. #gamerparent #gamerkids #boardgames
Got Horrified D&D for my turning 8yr oldβs birthday and we got it to the table yesterday! Lost, but it was close thingand came down to two bad die rolls against the Displacer Beast. #gamerparent #gamerkid #horrified
#vantage Iβm over here wearing a silly mask, befriending sea creatures and flirting with Sentients, while my husband actually completing the objective of exploiting the planetβs resources
At one time? Maybe, but definitely no such thing as 'too much schnitzel' at all.
Whooo! Playtest meet-up in Denver tomorrow! Not looking to be a one and done, so working hard at my potential 2027 titles, but still showing off DEER!
Launched my business website! black-bear-creation.com
First game from Black Bear Creation, DEER! coming to crowdfunding mid-late 2026.
Yesterday, learned and played several games with mu husband and 7yr old. Penguin Party from @25thcentury.games, Yubibo from Jelly Jelly Games, Anomia Kids from @andrewinnes.bsky.social, and Butterfly Garden from Capstone Games
Played Gloomies from Ravensburger and Similo Jurassic Park and Aquatic Animals from Horrible Guild with my husband and the 7yr old today. #gamerparents #gamerkids
The most important GenCon packing is done. My walking game library is 28.4lbs and has 64 games in it. Iβve also added laminated Board Game Menus for easy browsing! Hit me up and play some games with me!
Probably overkill, but my doctor suggested lifting weights anyways and this totally counts!
3D Printed storage shelves for Allplay small box games. @allplay.bsky.social
Small boxes are the bane of my exsistance because they donβt fit nicely on βstandardβ shelves, so Iβm always working on easier ways to display and access them.
Tackled a handful of games with my 7yr old today. He took first place in Twinkle Twinkle and a close 2nd in Fairy and Mountain Goats, all from @allplay.bsky.social. But mom kicked butt in Buffet Boss from @arcanewonders.bsky.social, despite my essential tremor!
Picked up Inferno at @originsgamefair.bsky.social from @grandgamersguild.bsky.social! Yes! More euro style games with weird and fun themes.
Running demos of 2 player game Caesar & Cleopatra from Thames & Kosmos!
Crafting the Cosmos is serious work! @officedoggames.bsky.social @davidgordon23.bsky.social
