A nice weekend of extra-curricular activities. Open mic at a local festival yesterday, and then cricket in the sun today.

This post was about self published games. Obviously a different ball game if your design is being published by someone else (though I would advise folks to think twice about working with pubs that can’t give you guarantees about how they source art).
If your Kickstarter game has AI art and an AI trailer with AI music, then there’s no way I’m going to believe the game design isn’t AI generated as well.

Years ago I used to make video game and board game fan art. I still like this one (also one of my favourite two player video games).

A classic on the table yesterday. FFG’s 2006 remake of Warrior Knights. A bit bumpy learning the rules but a very engaging experience once we’d played a few rounds. Strong Twilight Imperium vibes.

Waterloo Solitaire is a great travel game in a book. My copy is battered and filling up but I’ll happily buy another when there are no pages left.

Lots of folks out and about for the eclipse yesterday. Had a lovely chat with a chap who’d lived in the village his whole life. Felt fitting talking about the passage of time during an event like that.

My semi regular post about how great Battle for Rokugan is. Had a brilliant game of it over the weekend, with a lot of bluffing and misdirection.

I’m really pleased with how the second map / era sheet for Master of Coin turned out.
In today’s Master of Coin Kickstarter update we’re sharing some more information about Era II. In this new sheet you’ll use your coins to establish trade routes, boost your economy, and liberate gold from deadly pirates 🏴☠️ 🪙⚓️

This looks rad. Glad I could squeak in before the campaign closes (chances are you can too if you’re seeing this in your timeline!)

There are a lot of ways to approach combat in Vampirium: 1997, some chaotic, some streamlined.
Either way, tactics such as arming yourself with silver, laying traps, or catching a target by surprise can get you very far.
