  • Hexploration – Close to the Finish

    Another successful test of Hexploration this week. The underlying system is shaping up nicely. I don’t really think this is the end for this project however.

  • Hexploration – Rebuilding from Catastrophe

    I skipped a week discussing this game for a very simple reason: it sucked. Last weeks playtest session was a disaster. It has been difficult to write about, but this weeks session got me back on course. I’m actually excited to share this!

  • Hexploration – Designing Something Deeper

    I’ve started a new design project. This time, something with a little more complexity, and an actual board. It is a hex-based, tile-laying, area-control, economic game. Crazy, huh?

  • New Game Pages

    I’m working on revamping the site a bit. I consider both Project: Dead End and Princess Dice complete enough that I’m not going to drop them from the site any time soon. I’ve given them their own pages now which you can use to find all the articles I’ve written about them. Project: Dead End…

  • Paper Route – Rules

    I’ve worked quite a bit on Paper Route this week. The game is quite fun after I changed the format. I’m really excited for it! I’ve started working on the art, layout, and rules. I’ve had quite a bit of help from my Twitter followers, but I could always use more help!
