We have created an official discord server now in an attempt to help people find games on play.lostatlas.live join us so it's not so empty! discord.gg/dNRkmDWrXP

Yeah, I chatted with some of the .games devs this year at Traxx and it seemed to be a heavy lift but maybe possible to get the complete game into .games, and we do consider map building to be core to the game. This has really impressed us and we just learned of it a week ago!

You can just use this as your office during the fair. Totally reasonable.

Jacob here. I started zepbound in November. I was 330 at the time (not my biggest) I’m down 85 since then and improving my health daily.

One more day of Gencon. We will be on site, happy to chat, let us know if you’d like to link. Fingers crossed on a booth in the future.

(Jacob) we’ll have to stop by and say hi, attending as guests (and scavenger hunting backers to give them copies from the KS).

We will be at Gencon next week. We didn’t get a booth because we aren’t cool enough. We will be two guys with backpacks on, should be easy to spot.

I loved this. And that isn’t even swayed by the writer being a board game guy.

Asterisk Games @asterisk-games.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Yeah, we did revise. We just can’t do the same granularity as a patch.

Asterisk Games @asterisk-games.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Now that I think about this, we might have made the only 18xx game that didn’t do this.

Asterisk Games @asterisk-games.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

It‘d be great if we could do board games like paradox does video games and just ship half of It and figure the rest out over a few years.

Doesn’t everyone know the story from Wishbone?

I continue to try and get an 18xx game to the table including muggins

PPC is Pre-Production Copy. It’s a one-off made with slightly different processes used to check colors and component counts. MPC is Mass Production Copy, it’s an assembled version of the final game. Changes here generally require reprinting of the component and may cause delays in production.

Asterisk Games @asterisk-games.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

When we receive an MPC the entire print has completed but not been assembled. there are PPC where the bulk of the issues should be sorted out.

If this rom doesn’t provide a way to evolve Haunter, Gastly can go. Most of the rom hacks do give a way though.

Rulebooks are hard. Mostly happy with our first but I could read it and want to change 100 times in a row.

We are concerned about this. Currently all of our art is done by trusted people we know. But for our next project we expect to hire out and we are only seeking traditional art. 1. We like to buy the originals and 2. A level of security against AI assistance.

You left off “distributor margins”. When the cost goes up every step along the way expects to add to the price to keep their margin. Even if that’s just the publisher, distributor, and retailer (there could be more or less steps) that can snowball into a big price increase.

Fortunately, we don’t care all that much about making money. As long as it doesn’t cost us money we are happy.

We looked at American manufacturers and we couldn’t even find one that would do a print run small enough for us to consider them. And even if we managed to multiply our print run, we’d be spending multiple times per game to produce them. Was simply not an option for us.
