Eurydice Games@eurydicegames.bsky.social · 4w agoWith all the recent tariff and tax changes in the US and EU we, like many other small indie publishers, are facing many uphill challenges. Worth noting that our print at home games (inc. FlickFleet if you have a 3D printer!) are not affected: eurydicegames.co.uk/product-cate...

Does anyone know of an already written “overview of role playing games” paragraph I could get permission to use for the TTRPG I’m working on? I could write one but I’m sure others have done better. #ttrpg

I finished the first editing pass of Za Slinger’s League! Really excited to share the #ttrpg with everyone when it’s done.
Ephemeral Path had a lot of traffic this week. Hopefully they are real people and not ai bots but I’ll take it. It’s an awesome skirmish game that I’m proud of and I hope more people find it. #boardgames Www.ephemeralpath.com

It's #CraftWednesday! Do you have a game-related crafting project in progress? It could be a prototype, print and play, upgrading the components of a favourite game, making an accessory or even something larger like a table or games room. Share a picture and join in! Please RP!
I’ve started working on some page mock ups for Za Slinger’s League (Pizza TTRPG). It’s a little early for this but it keeps me motivated. #ttrpg #craftwednesday #tabletop

Indie game dev is when you, through sheer force of will and massive commitment of time and energy, create an incredible never before seen interactive experience from nothing..... so you can have like five people play it and be like "yeah that was pretty good" You're damn right it was
I made a thing: boxinsertdesigner.com It lets you design #foamcore box inserts for your #boardgames and spits out a cutting list. I'm looking for feedback, bugs, feature ideas etc #foamcore #boardgame #storage
Boxsert - The box insert designer for Formcore inserts
Design custom boardgame box inserts and storage that you can build with foamcore or cardboard. Easy to use and free. Generates a simple cut list.

String Theory by Tessellation Games was my favorite game from Protospiel Madison this weekend. A light ish game about connecting conspiracies with string to get podcast followers. Just a bit of story telling too #boardgames www.tessellationgames.com

My board at the end of Chocolate Platter playtesting tonight. Needs some point adjustment but I was happy with the play test. It does need a better name…
This past week had the most visitors to ephemeralpath.com since it launched over two years ago. I’ve got no idea why but I’m glad the game is getting some more attention.

Lots of cutting for my latest chocolate themed prototype! #boardgames

I don’t think how many times I play a game matter but rather how much value I get out of the game I have this system that I hold myself too of tracking how much value I get from a game I buy. To track value, I use $3/person/hour of game time. If I play a 2 hour game with 4 ppl it gets $24 of value
Stephanie Smith@biffybeans.bsky.social · 12mo agoA well known board game designer told me the majority of new games get played ONCE and I have a big problem w/ that. I get that not everything can be a hit, but I feel like something must be missing from design in general if this is happening. Rushed designs? Poor rulebooks? Bad visual design?
