Tabletop Game Design Tip #1
The mind needs some blank space. Things need to be aired out for the mind to appreciate them, digest them, and understand them. A little iconography is great. A lot is difficult to remember and is therefore confusing, even with big icon legends. Continue reading →

Toonaria: Creating a Universe Part 3
Toonaria came together on its own, showing me it was needed, because I couldn’t stop drawing and writing about it!

He shuddered again. Continue reading →
