So I thought I was being punk'd until it was finally announced, a day late (I'm told they decided to have a fight over their bylaws instead of making the announcement).It seems every year there's 1-2 indie <s>sacrifices</s> finalists. I think I have the same chance of winning this thing as a high school play of getting a Tony®.That said, I hope people will at least check out the Bonsai Diary because it's about 180 degrees opposite D&D and Daggerheart. It's a draw-and-journal game where you take care of a small tree over multiple generations; players call it "contemplative" and relaxing. It sounds really out there, but journaling games are having a moment -- Paul Czege, an actual winner of the Origins Award, is really into them right now.If you do check it out, please go to your friendly local game store, <a href="https://www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/The-Bonsai-Diary-Print-PDF.html" target="_blank">IPR</a>, or <a href="https://tabletopbookshelf.com/products/the-bonsai-diary" target="_blank">Tabletop Bookshelf</a>. I do a lot of work in the DC-MD-VA area to promote local game stores working with local designers and really believe in local game communities.Happy to share anything else I know, which is very little!</blockquote>
