Woohooo - Kickstarter is over with a solid turnout, especially for an expansion. We couldn't have wished for more. A mutated-heart-shaped thanks to all those who supported us. Till the next one! kickstarter.com/projects/might…

Woohooo! I am finally allowed to announce my new game with Dávid Turczi and Noralie Lubbers - Vengeance Roll & Fight! This is a light but puzzly, 30 minute, real-time game about bashing gangs and being better and faster than your opponents! mighty-boards.com/vengeancerolla…

It has been one long and challenging journey, but it's finally DONE - DONE and... DOONNEEEEE! A big thanks to all the lovely people that contributed to the book from designers and critics interviewed, to readers, editors and supporting angels.

Super excited to finally announce the new game I've been working on: Fateforge: Chronicles of Kaan. It's a narrative action-adventure campaign game with quick setup, learn-as-you-go rules and sessions of as little as 30 mins. You can follow along here: kickstarter.com/projects/might…

Gorgeous -- interviews with 32 game designers explore the experience of board games and how designers shape that experience. Whatever your tabletop/board game jam is -- this book is going to be a must-read. #boardgame

Playing some solo sessions of Vengeance: Roll & Fight (Mighty Boards 🔜 UKGE 3-634), a quicker, smaller version of one of my favorite games, Vengeance. It focuses on the boss den puzzle elements, but still retains much of the thematic elements that made the original game so compelling.

Honoured to have an article featured on the awesome resource for game creators that is Stonemaier Games' blog. It focuses on a core design goal of Fateforge: having an adventure game that respects your (limited) leisure time. Check it out here: stonemaiergames.com/this-project-c…

Had a chance to play the prototype version of Fateforge: Chronicles of Kaan by gordoncalleja and Mighty Boards 🔜 UKGE 3-634 at #SPIEL22. Elegantly designed coop action with an ambitious narrative and campaign structure. I really dug it!
