I went to PAX Unplugged and had about 5,000 conversations with fans, developers, salespeople, and more. I distilled the general experience into some predictions about what the world of tabletop is going to look like in the short term.

Ludonarrative blah blah blah. Why'd you make it that way? Why'd you make that choice? How did you do it?

Just finished an entire carton of eggs that were all twin yolks, every single one. If this was three millennia ago I'd be an oracle by sundown.

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

We’re live and funded! 52 Duels is the playing card battler you never knew you needed πŸƒ

On a serious note, it’s always a gut-wrenching feeling hitting launch on a campaign. I’m super grateful for the words of support and for folks checking out what we make.

Let’s goooooo!

This was a fun discussion! We obviously talk about manuals, but also the really hard tasks of both teaching someone how a game works and teaching them in the right way, both formally and thematically.

We need your help, Spymaster.

This week's game in our legacy celebration is The Solitaire Conspiracy! Protego, the world’s leading spy agency, has been destroyed. Only one person can wield C.A.R.D.S to take control of Protego’s scattered spy crews and save the world.

You.
