Sucktember? Sweetember?

"They have a cave troll!"

This September has been, unfortunately, the hardest school year start up to date. I’ve got twenty-nine wonderful grade fours to teach, but quite a few are below grade level in math and English. Our new provincial government is also out to get teachers, so there’s a lot of extra tension around the school. And to top things off, my poor baby girl is in grade one now and has dealt with two bullying issues and a week of ear infections. There has not been much time for board gaming.

New School Year Update

A new school year and I've got 29 eager 9 and 10 year-olds to guide and teach each day. They seem like a pretty nice bunch so far! Right now is the first real break I've had between teaching, planning, and working with my student teacher. I wanted to update you on a few things that I had mentioned during and before the summer.

You know I've been working on my board game? Well, I pitched the game to a board game company and they want to give it a try! my co-designer and I have been working on uploading everything to Tabletop Simulator (let's be honest, it's been all Aaron - I've just playtested it). It's up and working but we're trying to smooth it out a little bit still. Hopefully in the next week or two we'll show them the game. Even if nothing comes from it, we'll get some great feedback from an experienced and successful designer and producer. Very exciting! I'll keep you posted.
