We’re hiring at @catan.com! Our studio is looking for a Senior Game Producer: careers.asmodee.com/job/Senior-G... I am not the hiring manager for this position, but I’m happy to answer any questions I can, or refer former colleagues interested in joining our team.

With exactly 1 month to go so far we have sold 6 tickets. Now I'm not expecting this to rival Salute or anything but as we need 20 people to cover the cost of hiring the shop before we get into the fundraising area I'd really appreciate it if this could be shared around a bit. Thanks! #SpreadTheLard

Hammered it out, prototype is up! First game in the half-page format. www.patreon.com/posts/halfpa...

Quick question for artists out here... I need an internet place to post a portfolio. My current one is old and creaky and I lost the ability to update it. Where do people go to build a portfolio site?

Look what just arrived.... I'll have it on the website later tonight for sale

youtu.be/lNtiSMbriYA?... Very interesting channel

FedSector. Theres something to seeing a game you designed coming together in physical space...

FedSector. Remembering I have more spare blank ink cartridges, I decided to jump for home printing these. Turns out they're slightly bigger than the previous ones. Ship tile from the Trek version (on a blank scrabble tile) for scale.

And here it is in all its promotional pre-order glory www.routledge.com/Designing-Hi... I am pleased to see that they have the paperback at 39.99 -- I understand that is a significant amount of money, but it is a significantly lower price than GTP 2.0

Yes it is! FedSector is a game about managing a space fleet in a sector. Ultimately it's a worker placement game on a grand scope I have a project outline on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/151869...

Highly recommend norsehound.itch.io/iron

On the matter of pitching games, I need to get back to this. F&E take on one of my earliest games, a border battle game. I keep seeing it on the shelf. Part of why it's stopped is because if I'm gonna pitch it to ADB I'm gonna need to align all the iconography to theirs (this pulls from SFC too)

Not that I do that many conventions, but I got a new sign to hang up in my booth.

Getting there. Taking a bit of inspiration from an old source. Fall.

Fall. Temp title for now as I got it a little further. All I know is that I want two things: + Where invaders land and spread is huge shifts between strategies. + Humans can hold out and rush new technologies to fight invaders on their turf. Hooowwww to do that on a 4x6? Good question.

Spontaneously remembered a random little detail from one of Trek's pilot episodes Enterprise limps to Delta Vega for repairs and has to scavenge parts from an automated base to get the ship working again. When's the last time Trek did something like that? Shows how far they were from home.

norsehound.itch.io/grunge highly recommend

Cast. New Cast is coming along, it's just that my brain keeps getting distracted by new shiny things and the internet. Dots are placements for the dungeons, which you can go find things in. Baddies spawn in order. So with your time you choose to treasure hunt or stop the spawned villains.

It's been a day, last night kiddo couldn't sleep and now is down with a cold. Hitting a wall with the postcard game so... switched gears for just a moment.

We've updated our welcome screen in v1.116 with some fresh artwork by @odpomery.bsky.social Includes different versions for light and dark themes!

Grunge. It's fun to tool around with Grunge and grunge-adjacent things. The small postcard map for Grunge is really nice as a play field. Andorill and Massia will be bigger, so I thought I'd bash up maps as small as Grunge to try in skirmish games.

Grunge, Andoril. The game could look like this.

Grunge. I decided today to polish up the lore I was crafting for Grunge's backstory. It's up on Patron now! www.patreon.com/posts/150085...

And of course @battlingboy.bsky.social put the whole thing on Tabletop simulator with tokens too if that's of more interest than the print and play. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

Cast. This is fun, need to pick 3 characters to fill out Casts' hero roster. I need to think up letter keywords eventually because there's only so far I can go with just stats before they get samey.

Hey the episode where I get to gush about Designing Historical Games, the book is up on @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social podcast!!! Always such a pleasure, Liz! Thanks so much for letting me share this labor of love! www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEcg... if you want to see our faces.

Went back to Patreon for an update! A lowdown and thought process on the vintage postcard games I've been cooking up this past week. www.patreon.com/posts/postca...

Thinking about what the blowup on this would be I actually thought up a reduction to the concept. So Hyperlane is gonna get a blowup, and the postcard scale is going down a step in ambition. Calling it Send. You'll be an explorer.

Had to put away the workstation to save it from little hands. In the meantime typing rules ... Combat and stacking rules for Cast/Gyr. Look good? (I'm gonna reel back the term for the green game back to Cast, so that'll be the engine name going forward).

It’s so pretty!

Let's try this again Nation borders reading ok?

Just fixed it! itch.io/jam/postcard...

Grunge has a title card now!

Grunge. Calling it done! It's up on Itch.io too. I've long said one of the problems with SJG Ogre is that it doesn't get with the times and be simpler. Grunge is an attempt to act on that criticism. Scaled for a 4x6 postcard.

*Portfolio diving* *Find Folder: Every_map_I've_done_ever* Oh hey some of these are fun.

I am not posting it through the Leder Games website, instead going to my personal network to look for candidates I know. We are looking for 1 possibly 2 graphic designers as I build our team for growth. This is not a remote position. Thanks! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Just a reminder. 6-7 PM EST 1/27 and Virtual + Open to all. Even if I weren't on the panel I'd say it's a great topic with clearly great people.
