Game-play Video!

June 6th - via: kickstarter.com
When I did the Kickstarter video, I wasn't really that happy with the game-play footage. We only had one weekend to film and a limited lounge space to film in to fit players that didn't really convey the game. SO, my friends Sian Pearce and Richard... (Read More)

Of Tests and Tweaks

May 25th - via: kickstarter.com
So I got lots of feedback and playtest data from the launch party last Saturday. The main rules seem to be pretty squeaky clean, but there are few cases of extraneous and potentially optional rules that were either being tried out or tested. I ran... (Read More)
