The List - May 2026
I just checked in last month with The List, but I already have some updates to it!
Rather than having to read through all the same old entries to find the new info, I think I'll add a News section at the top here -- then below the fold can just be a simple list, without commentary, and the changes can be summarized at the top of the post:
News:
Signed Game news:
No news on Taiko Kiri or Usurpers (though I have seen some rules editing movement on TK in the last couple of days). The big news here is about Dynasty: the Spread of Culture in Ancient China -- a publisher played it, loved it, and signed it!
Also, Crusaders has been signed by a new publisher, who I think will print the Amber/Crimson Knight (5/6p) expansions!
Current Active Design news:
The only game of my own I've really been working on lately was Dynasty, as well as my friends' games (Henge and Forbidden Art). Now that Dynasty is signed, I'll need something to work on...
- A new game (I have ideas about a game called Roost, where you play as a bird couple building a nest)?
- A recent project that got backburnered (Peanuts & Crackerjacks)?
- An older idea that seemed promising (Joan of Arc, Isle of Adventure, Worker-ception, or False Prophet)?
Any suggestions?
