Thinking I'll need to iterate NuCaptains faster than I usually do, Decided to bash out a low-fi version of the ship card. I can't not try making it pretty.

I did a test run of this version of Captains, implementing a new action mechanic. It didn't go as smoothly as I'd like. More on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/170566...

@gamingthepast.bsky.social and his new book offer some broad design parameters for any game dealing in a Historical Problem Space (mostly board games and interactive "fiction," but also RPGs). His website's got some thoughtful information, too: gamingthepast.net

If you're a fan at all of my old Homeworld Maps, I just fulfilled a request to upload hi-res versions of some old extraneous maps I did back in the Relicnews days. The Vaygr and Turanic maps are in there! t.co/6RWaGl9sP1

I want to make a game about visiting fantastical places. With Cards representing cities, landmarks, and reasons to go there. You travel. The game is about a journey, for a while.

That's a Saturday sorted. Initial scenario's a chilled villagers brawl. Production wise it is acceptable overall. Artwork is superb. Maps are heavy duty coated. Counters are very thin but hard. Booklets are the good size. Player aids very tiny typography though.
