While at Origins, I got to meet Chris Zinsli, better known on Twitter as @CardboardEdison. It was a rocky introduction, but he introduced me to Tessen, a game he and his wife designed, and offered to let me play it later that night at the UnPub area.
I’ve been following Chris Urinko on Twitter for a while @Battlejack. I enjoy when he posts, cause I’ve seen some very pretty laser cut pieces. Now he has a Kickstarter running to help make laser cut dice, boxes, towers, and other geeky items. How do they stack up?
Now that everyone is back to the real world after celebrating the Fourth of July, there’s still a lot of the month left, which means there are plenty of events planned. In connection with one of these events is an announcement.
As much as I love long and intense games, I also really enjoy short games that are quick to learn and play. Patrick at Crash Games has a game on Kickstarter called Council of Verona. It’s based on Romeo and Juliet, and is the first in the Pub Series of games.
I know I’m late in getting this posted, but last week kept me busy. At Origins, I got to play 7 games that were new to me, many of them being unpublished games. I love seeing the games in their prototype stages, playing them with the designer, and providing feedback on the games.
I’ve been preparing for Origins for the past two weeks, and I’m sorry that there hasn’t been an update. There’ll be some news with the next post, and a bit of a redesign is in the works. The main thing to take away from Origins was that I brought home a ton of games.
