Saturday night game development. Turning my educational game 'The Insurgency Rolls On' from a solo game into a head to head version. #gamedesign

I've put a game review up on my blog that I think is worth highlighting. It covers the recent Game of Drones book... spprojectblog.wordpress.com/2024/12/23/rea…

More playtesting to clarify the rules more. The second turn had atrocious rolls (no detections) then the next turn was full storms everywhere. A LA also snuck up on the Shandong and it's screen (both rolled 1's on a d20) only to get caught by the Type 93 the LA failed to notice.

Doing a little playtesting of a module for Jaws of the Dragon/Solo game. I forgot to add some UI elements when doing the map and need to pick exactly how I want to do unrest generation (rolls by type or cards), but the game overall works quite well.

I got 'We are Coming Nineveh' onto the table this afternoon. It is a great game. Very impressed with it. Simple to play but has depth too. #boardgames

Spent the day playing through the 1971 classic SPI wargame Grunt. A classic game: simple rules, lots of tactical depth, and lots of narrative flavour. #boardgames #COIN

I've recently been looking at the recent tactical drone focussed campaign tabletop game 'Game of Drones'. I chave put a write up of my first game session here: spprojectblog.wordpress.com/2025/02/16/gam… there is also a review on my blog too.

Tonight was spent playtesting the head to head version of my game The Insurgency Rolls On. This new version will be taken round this year's conference season.

I’ve hit my limit. I need to share something that’s been weighing heavily on me. I've played in a DOZEN TTRPGs lately, and I can say with certainty that every single one was driven by an AI-written narrative. And you know what? It was glaringly obvious. The soul was just… gone.

Game mats have arrived printed on vinyl. The road mat is for general figure gaming use. The two identical sewer ones are for the double blind underground skirmish game that I am developing. #wargaming

Playtest, Playtest, and Playtest again must be the mantra of the game designer. A run through with the head to head version of my Insurgency game. #wargaming

Playtesting last night. Was trying out my sewer combat game. Played it single blind with one side on markers with some dummies.
