A nice day walking in the Blue Mountains.

🙌

Looking through an old sketchbook and I came across these first scribbles for Waypoints. Surprisingly close to how it ended up!

Super excited to announce Master of Coin, the next Postmark game from @matthewdunstan.bsky.social and myself. It’s a game of kingdom development, where coins are the randomiser and the resource. If that sounds fun, please hit that notify button on kickstarter. www.kickstarter.com/projects/pos...

If any Steamforged employees were affected by these redundancies and would like to speak to me on an anonymous basis - my email can be found on the about page of our youtube channel. Alternatively, please do DM me.

Another fun thing from expo was getting my artist copy of Spaghettin. Nice seeing all of these together.

Back from an intense Friday at UKGE. Was lovely to catch up with folk who I only get to see once a year. Nice also to meet @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social and @senetmagazine.bsky.social. Some great questions at my Q+A on making PNP games, and generally just wonderful seeing the community at large.

Prototypes, badges, business cards and game sheets. UKGE I’m coming

Twas the night before UKGE and all the game designers were building prototypes

Come and say hello at the UK Games Expo :)

Only 90s British kids will get this

The algorithm serving me all the hot music right now.

Waypoints is the Postmark game I’m most proud of. Both Dan’s review, and the top comment on the article, are great answers for the times when I question what I’m doing. Heart is full this morning.

Mass Effect 1 fans be like 'this is why it's the best one'.

My plan of getting a fully painted Song army to the table hasn’t quite materialised, but we’re getting close.

I look forward to reposting this again in about 12 months time.

Death, taxes, and BGG users arguing about whether the winner of the Golden Geek best wargame is a wargame.

🏆🙌🏻📣 We are honoured that The Old King’s Crown has won Best Artwork & Presentation at the Golden Geek Awards this year! So many beautiful games were nominated, so it means a lot. Congratulations to all the winners and nominees across the board! 👏🏻

Aquamarine is the second title from Postmark Games, and it's remarkable if only for using two dice instead of Voyages' three. It offers another novel movement puzzle, and while I don't like it quite as much as the first, it's still wholly rewarding. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/05/11/a...

Graphic design can’t make a bad game good, but it can make a good game bad.

Every new thing I see for this game gets me excited. Counting down the days until the preorders get sent out 🗓️

Dan reviewing a game of mine is bucket list territory. Chuffed to bits with this write up.

Seeing social ads for games full of AI art really undermines the whole ‘we’re an indie studio and we don’t have money for art’ argument.

Getting close to finalising the art for our next Postmark project. Can’t wait to share more about it

Since social media is becoming more and more fickle these days, I've finally decided to set up a newsletter :) (After much faffing about) Here I'll be sharing new art, processes, any interesting news and updates on my availability for clients. 💜 Please do sign up if you'd like to stay in touch 💜

52 Duels has been shortlisted for best print & play game 2025 in the Board Game Geek Golden Geek Awards. If you use BGG, and you've enjoyed 52 Duels, then we’d love to get your vote. boardgamegeek.com/thread/36965...

A lovely bit of post from @stoutstoat.co.uk yesterday. Looking forward to getting stuck into this one.

Last few hours to back my game SEAGRASS, co-designed with Brett J. Gilbert and published by @bitewinggames.bsky.social. I'm super happy with the way this one has turned out. Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/bit...

Hey artists if you see this post a dog

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog. (I think these meeples for Happy Home are the only dogs I’ve ever drawn. Must change that)

Hey #portfolioday I’m Rory, a graphic designer making games. Here’s some work from an old game of mine called Skora.

Our next game! #abroad

I had to stop this early due to the recording slowing down my computer, but here’s a bit of a look at how I make the characters for 52 Duels/Adventures.

New Multiple Win Conditions! Today I’m talking about “Find the Fun”. One of the most common bits of advice I got as a new designer youtu.be/vPTe9PlGAP8?...

🚨NEW RELEASE DAY🚨 52 Duels just got bigger with two new characters joining the fray! Change forms and boost your attacks and items as the shapeshifting Druid, or gift away your cards to your opponent to build big turns as the mischievous Trickster. Available now for all owners of the game

Trying to find a way of painting the A Song of Ice and Miniatures minis that’s quick but still looks good. Not sure this does either but I’m pleased to be chipping away at them. Need to base these chaps before calling it done.

A very ugly prototype but potentially enough here to make it a little prettier and write some rules.

𝐀w𝐞s𝐨m𝐞 𝐏o𝐬s𝐮m𝐬 I originally designed for one of my weekly trivia teams. I share it as my #weeklytshirt for any other fans of scrungly little gremlins. danielsolis.threadless.com/designs/awes...

Saw a small blue butterfly today and took a photo so I could google what it was when I got home. Turns out it’s a small blue butterfly (that’s the name of the species). Lovely stuff.

Some real Simon Stålenhag vibes in the village today.

Celebrating some wins today 🙏

I think pottery has the potential to be my Roman Empire. Loved getting on the wheel again today.

It’s been a while since I played the A Song of Ice and Fire Tabletop Miniatures game so it was nice to get it back on the table. I really like this one. Lots of cool stuff going on and the rules are relatively frictionless.

Always a good day when you get some @weheart.games in the post. Looking forward to playing this one.
