My Halloween story I just wrote

Mr. Mansafield stood in the kitchen and eyed his three guests. "One of you is a murderer," he said. Then he died. Then everyone else died, too. Turns out that poison was a little stronger than Mrs. Lift has anticipated. The End.

They came! The Chief Judge games came!

 They came today! Wa-hoo! I finally got to see if the math I did months ago about how big to make the tiles to fit in the squares, cards in the slots, etc. actually worked out in the real physical world. Spoilers: they did, thankfully. Really really well too.

I sorted out everything into the three different boxes. And then I took pictures for everyone.

The boxes.

I ordered each box to come with an insert so that the pieces
can stay underneath and the board and rules can fit on top.

The board. It looks beautiful!

The coin tokens and the goods tiles.

So glad the tiles fit nicely into the boxes,
and the cards into their card slots.

Ta-da! Can't wait to play.

Henry is Pikachu, Chief Judge rules

So funny story with the above picture. I was going to post it on Facebook with the caption, "Look what I got!?" And then when people would ask me I would tell them the truth: "I got this empty PS5 box from the dumpster! Isn't that cool?" I decided against it because, well, not everyone would read the comments and then most of Facebook would go on believing I actually got a PS5. 

Yesterday my family and I went to a Halloween party. Henry dressed up as Pikachu, and Joy was Rapunzel. Heather was a unicorn and I was a ninja. A kid at the party came up to me and asked, "are you Naruto?" And I was like, ". . . Yes." Which appeased the kid and he went on his way. 

The copies of Chief Judge of Zarahemla will be here by Wednesday! And then we'll see if I uploaded the files right and if the cards and boards even come out well. Fingers crossed. Speaking of Chief Judge of Zarahemla, here's the 2-page rule book:

Sick Dreams, and the Studio

Maybe it's just me, but when I'm sick my dreams are really stressful. Like last night they were all about long rods which were actually straight zig-zags and I thought they were making something but they just kept looping back and making themselves.

Man, that was a really bad description.

Anyway, the most stressful dreams are about math that doesn't work or add up. I remember when I was a kid I had a night terror and it was about me trying to connect the edges of a circle or something and my mind was in panic mode because I couldn't get it to work out.

Anyway. Good times.

Also, I was part of my school's Studio broadcast a few weeks ago. Here's the video:
