@ScottStarkey Alright, I'll bite. What's this #protospiel thing all about? And how have I never heard of this before?

Anyone "game" for playing Dad Jokes at @protospiel this weekend?

Heading out to ProtospielOnline! I hope to play some of your games there! I'll also be reviewing sell sheets.

Protospiels are a fantastic resource for getting your game playtested by developers (peer testing).

Tonight, I'm headed to the #tabletop #gamedesign conference #Protospiel in #madisonwi. Apparently, it's a conference for bringing prototypes of your board game ideas and letting people playtest them.

I cannot believe that I never heard of this until now - this would have been my dream in college.

#introduction

Hi folks - My name is Scott Starkey, and I'm an occasional #GameDesigner and illustrator. I'm addicted to #Protospiel conventions.

Here's my BGG cred: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamedesigner/2499/scott-starkey

Aside from game stuff, my day job is a #Clojure developer. I am a part-time #magician & #mentalist (i.e. a probably fake mind-reader); I speak #Esperanto; I'm a #Freemason. My favorite candy is a #Zagnut bar.
