Short, practical essays on game design theory, each building one principle around concrete examples from games like Slay the Spire, Slipways and Rift Wizard. Readers get design heuristics they can apply to upgrade systems, synergies and multiplayer structure.
A weekly newsletter covering board and card games through history pieces, new-release roundups and individual game reviews. Readers get personal, opinionated writing with design context and some original research, such as Usenet archive digging.
A personal design blog by a board game and live-action roleplay designer, covering the design of individual games like Grandfather Paradox and rule systems such as weapon restrictions. It offers candid, reflective writing about design decisions and their reasoning, plus downloadable rules.
