Recent updates to the above

Published Games

- The Sixth Realm (FKA Deities & Demigods) (BGG) (Co-Design with Matthew Dunstan) [Final Frontier Games]

The Kickstarter for The Sixth Realm is over, so I've moved this entry to the Published Games section! It'll still be a while before people get their copies, but I look forward to seeing reports of games played when that happens.

Finished But Unpublished Games

- Apotheosis (Co-Design with Rick Holzgrafe) [signed by a publisher!]

No change to The List, but Usurpers (FKA Apotheosis) has been progressing at the publisher -- I've seen snippets of art and graphic design coming through. I believe that one will be on Kickstarter eventually, and once that finishes (assuming it's successful), I'll move this entry to the Published Games section

 

Currently Pitching Games

- Let's Go Balloon Racing [pitching to publishers]

- Taiko Kiri (co-design with Steve Carleson) [pitching to publishers]

- Press-Your-Luck Microgame (KBGames 18 card game jam entry, July 2022) [pitching to publishers]

- Worker Placement Microgame (KBGames 18 card game jam idea, July 2022) [pitching to publishers]

I've been trying a bit harder to get my games in front of publishers, with varying levels of success. These four titles are on my Pitch List now, though to be honest, I'll be surprised if I can place the 2p microgames with anyone (even if I think the PYL one is pretty solid). Goballoon Racing and Taiko Kiri on the other hand seem like strong candidates to me.

Current Active Designs

- Division of Labor (FKA I-Cut-You-Choose Worker Placement)

I'm still working on this one, so it's "currently active," though technically I've also added it to my Pitch List - I think it's about ready to start pitching

Backburnered Designs 

- Isle of Adventure (Co-Design with Dan Keltner)

- "Revampsterdam" [revamp of an old game, commissioned by a publisher]

I have moved a couple of games to the back burner on The List, seeing as how I haven't worked on them in quite some time

Promising Recent ideas:

- Press Your Luck Candyland [Candyland variant]

After playing some Candyland with my 6 year old, I got him to try my No Thanks/Candyland mashup which, incidentally, worked alright but had a problem at the end. As that didn't work out as well as I'd hoped, we tried another Candyland variant: Press Your Luck Candyland, which worked very well!

Recent updates to the above

Published Games
- Isle of Trains: All Aboard (Co-Design with Dan Keltner) [New edition from Dranda Games with included expansion]
Isle of Trains: All Aboard had a strong Kickstarter project, and is currently delivering to backers. I haven't got my copies just yet, but I have seen a number of positive reviews and posts about it, which is great!

Development projects

- Harvest (BGG) [by Trey Chambers from Keymaster Games] - Heavy Development

The new version of Harvest from Keymaster games had a strong Kickstarter recently, and will now move into production

- Expeditions (BGG) [by Jamey Stegmaier from Stonemaier Games] - Consultation

Expeditions has been released. It was over a year and a half ago that I did some consulting for an earlier iteration of the game, hopefully my comments were helpful, though it looks like the final game changed significantly since then

- Fled (BGG) [by Mark Swanson, coming 2024 from Odd Bird Games] - Consultation

- Forelords (BGG) [by Mark Swanson, coming 2025 from Odd Bird Games] - Consultation

I did some consulting on these two games for Mark Swanson of Odd Bird Games, and I see that I'm listed as Developer on their BGG entries. I don't know when they'll be coming out, but they're listed on BGG as 2024 and 2025 releases respectively

Finished But Unpublished Games

- The Sixth Realm (FKA Deities & Demigods) (BGG) (Co-Design with Matthew Dunstan) [coming soon from Final Frontier Games]

The publisher has done significant development on Deities & Demigods, and I believe it will be coming to Kickstarter by the end of the year under the title The Sixth Realm. I've seen a little of the artwork for the game, and it looks awesome!

 

Currently Pitching Games

- Sails & Sorcery (Co-Design with Michael Mindes) [pitching to publishers]

- All For One (BGG) (Co-Design with David Brain) [pitching to publishers]

A publisher expressed some interest in both of these titles, I'm waiting to hear if they will decide to sign either of them (fingers crossed!)

 

Current Active Designs

- Let's Go Balloon Racing

This started as an idea for a mechanism for a kid's game to play with Corbin, and has grown into a legit game with a quirky theme. I'm trying to keep it light, quick, and accessible  

- Tri-inspired (co-design with Steve Carleson)

My friend Steve had an idea for a game, which he described when he was in town visiting recently. I discussed it with him and had a lot of suggestions even then, and after he went home and made a prototype, I played it and had even more (or more specific) suggestions... I really feel like it's got potential as a popular game product. He accepted my offer to co-design the game with him, so now it's on the list!

- "Revampsterdam" [revamp of an old game, commissioned by a publisher]

I was engaged as a Developer to revamp an old game that a publisher had signed, and ended up designing a whole new game using the main mechanism and the aspects of the original that the publisher was most interested in. Currently another developer has started to work on it as well, because my draft might have been a bit too "big" for the publisher's brand

- Isle of Adventure (Co-Design with Dan Keltner)

Dranda Games, the new publisher of Isle of Trains, said they'd be interested in a sequel multi-use card game with positive player interaction, so I did some brainstorming, and I think I've got a good start on a game similar to IoT, where you recruit and equip adventurers and explore a dungeon rather than build and load train cars to fulfill contracts. So far it sounds promising, we'll see how well that holds up as I get a prototype together

Promising Recent ideas:

- Stable Genius ["Wingspan of Horses"]

Back in February, I had a bunch of thoughts about a horse management game, initially spurred by the pun title Stable Genius. I actually used AI chatbot ChatGPT as a sounding board to talk through ideas for this one, and when it came down to it, the approach that interested me the most was a more serious game, for which that title wouldn't be appropriate. I don't know if I'll ever get back to this one, or if I really think it'd be that good to begin with, but we'll see

It's been a while, and I've got some updates to make, so it's time to revisit The List, again!

Here are notable comments on some of the updates I've recently made to The List:

- Amun-Re expansion [coming soon from Alley Cat Games with 20th Anniversary edition!]

I got a development gig helping Alley Cat Games create expansion modules for their upcming 20th Anniversary edition of Amun-Re. It was fun working on a classic euro, and a game that I've enjoyed for almost 2 decades. I had the opportunity to both develop some of the content created by the Alley Cat team, as well as suggest/create some additional content. I even have some leftover content that they didn't end up using, that I think could still be worthwhile - another module, and a not-quite-finished solo mode. Perhaps some of that will see the light of day in a future expansion (I feel that's doubtful), or in the variants forums on BGG.

- Eminent Domain (BGG) [new edition coming 2023 from a new publisher!]

- Eminent Domain: Escalation (BGG) (expansion) [new edition coming 2023 from a new publisher!]
- Eminent Domain: Exotica (BGG) (expansion) [new edition coming 2023 from a new publisher!]
- Eminent Domain: Oblivion (BGG) (expansion) [new edition coming 2023 from a new publisher!]

I managed to sign Eminent Domain and its expansions to the publisher of a lot of my favorite games over the years. They haven't announced anything yet, so I won't be specific, but watch for an EmDo big box some time next year!

If that goes well, I'm told the publisher is interested in my EmDo ancillary products as well: Microcosm, Chaos Theory, and Eminent Domain Origins. I put in the contract that they have the option to publish those under the same contract, to make it easy for them to do so. I look forward to more info about this becoming available. Here's hoping the line does well for them!

- Isle of Trains: All Aboard (Co-Design with Dan Keltner) [New edition with included expansion]

I was approached by Dranda Games, who wanted to pick up the license for Isle of Trains. Dan and I had created the All Aboard expansion for the original publisher something like 7 years ago, but nothing ever happened with that outside of a little bit of artwork.

Dranda is excited to include All Aboard, and they're running a kickstarter later this year for a deluxe version! They did some development on the game, which I decided ahead of time that I was going to just be OK with. I'm excited to play the game in its final form!

- Crusaders: Thy Will Be Done (BGG) [now available for preorder from Renegade!]
- Crusaders: Divine Influence (BGG) (expansion) [finally available for preorder from Renegade!]

- Crusaders: Crimson Knight (expansion) [coming soon from Renegade!]
- Crusaders: Amber Knight (expansion) [coming soon from Renegade!]

Renegade Game Studios has picked up the Crusaders line. They are reprinting the base game, including the deluxe version, and they're also finally making available the long awaited Divine Influence expansion - the one that's been printed and sitting in China for 2+ years! They'll be reprinting the expansion as well once that stock is gone, and they've also committed to my 5th/6th player Crimson/Amber Knight expansions!

- Deities & Demigods [signed by a publisher!]

A publisher signed Deities & Demigods, and we're setting it in their own fantasy universe. They asked me to make the game a little heavier, more "4X-y," so I added a deity who's action is to explore. There are now face down tiles on each non-city, non-quest space, in 5 different colors (or "terrains"). You can use the new deity to move your troops a little bit, and/or explore these face down tiles. It came together pretty well, I think, and I've passed the game off to the publisher's in-house developer for any finishing touches they might want to make.
