CPG has returned from the Tokyo Game Market and the Tabletop Game Alliance Trade Mission. We had an amazing time making new fans, playing Japanese games, eating the best food, and visiting a variety of animal cafes. A lot happened, so we’ll hit the highlight reel that’s relevant for folks reading this.

I try to avoid sharing personal life details through Cherry Picked. The mentality of “being your brand” doesn’t appeal to me. Influencer culture makes me yearn for a technological dark age. Moreover, it’s never satisfying to see a Kickstarter project delayed due to slowly unfolding personal drama. I want people to see CPG as a professional entity and that veneer erodes when Alex Jerabek’s problems surface. However, it’s clear CPG is less active following the Hair of the Dog launch and I feel like I owe an explanation. I debated how to post this and want to frame it in the context of other past blogs: a transparent post about the company that hopefully serves as educational insight for other game developers. Four months ago, I had my first kid. It’s been tough to find time for CPG, but the real limiting factor is energy.
