Self-Promotion, With Or Without Shame

Hi @timashov.games! I’m one of the mods on this board. I’ve moved your post into our self promotion thread. If you read back a bit you can see that some of our members do publish games and let us know about them here.

We really appreciate it if people engage in the community so feel free to jump in on some of the other threads. If you’re just looking for impressions on your game then you might find r/boardgames or one of the BGG forums to be more fruitful.

I’m going to indulge in some ridiculously proud parenting. At the age of 7, after being so nervous last year he was physically sick at the thought of going to class, my youngest stood up in front of 700 people at the theatre, full lights, sounds, and everything, tonight and did not one, but two speaking parts. One of them a monologue. My daughter was also amazing, with a smile that lit up the theatre

I finally got enough motivation to record my first cover in seven years:

I’ve got all my rules rewrites together in one place: Roger's Rules . That’s all the pocketmod booklets (of which I’ve recently added a few) and the full-size ones too.

I built a thing! My first raspberry pi project. Late to the party, I know.

My wife complained that it was hard to remember dress up days for my daughter - a solution that used various old tech that was laying around the house and the dusty bottom of the ICT cupboard at work. I spent £11 total on this project - one 90° hdmi adapter and one wall mount.

And I’ve just noticed I need to clean the basement door!

My son is doing a good thing…

Seth wants to make the world a better place. He’s decided that the best start is to jump out of plane, hopefully attached to a parachute.

He’s raising money for Leukemia Busters, a charity that funds research into this bastard disease. It’s close to our hearts because my Dad survived leukemia when Seth was a baby. The brother of one of Seth’s friends wasn’t as lucky.

If you can spare a few quid to put our son in mortal danger, please go to

Thanks

I seem to have no luck with Geeklists on BGG - maybe it’s the time zone difference and I’m just posting them at the wrong time in the US…

Anyway, here’s one I did taking a look at all the expansions I own :slight_smile:

I have a short story published in the latest *Occult Detective Magazine * - the second mythos special, to be precise. It’s set in late 19th century Europe and I’m pretty proud of it! There’s a link on the website to get it on Amazon, although other shops are available…

Having recently swapped out our kitchen tap for a boiling water equipped model I have now had the pleasure of undoing all my work so I could replace the sink for aesthetic reasons and then reinstall said tap! My most complicated plumbing job so far, and relatively hitch free.



The moral of this story is put off any jobs you are asked to do as long as possible so that the subsequent ones can be done at the same time! Not the lesson that my wife was hoping for me to take from this, I suppose.

My wife (superjaz) has put in to be 2024’s Face of Horror, which is a contest to raise money for charity. This year’s is supporting the Starlight Children’s Foundation. You can supply a free vote every 24 hours, or donate with $1 = 1 vote, though it seems to require Facebook. She would appreciate any support you all are willing to offer.

it’s asking facebook for name, profile pic, and email address. You can remove the email address from what’s shared, and still vote.

Today is the last day for round one. Anyone willing, please cast a free vote, or even donate if you want to support a charity and can afford it.

Thanks to all who have supported superjaz!

Facebook required is a shame, prevents me from doing anything.

I actually created a Facebook account for the first time just to support her in this. After which, it will likely disappear…

That’s reasonable. In my case, I have a Facebook account, I’ve just been locked out of it for a couple of years, so there’s an extra layer of inaccessibility.

Superjaz got through the first round. Daily free votes appreciated going forward. Looking into the details, this is a rather long haul until the end, with weekly rounds going into the end of October, thinning the pools each time.

Now through the second round, going for top 10 in her pool next. Keep the votes coming! Thanks!

Made the top 10, next is the top 5, so now she really needs the votes, as she has been usually between 6th to 8th place.

Thanks all!
