Had to grab some icons I created for Voyages, and it’s nice seeing them all together.

Just added this to our campaign page draft. Simple is good, right?
Everything in this game was created by an incredible team of talented and hard working people. Generative AI was not used in the creation of the game or the marketing materials including this campaign page.

This post was about self published games. Obviously a different ball game if your design is being published by someone else (though I would advise folks to think twice about working with pubs that can’t give you guarantees about how they source art).

If your Kickstarter game has AI art and an AI trailer with AI music, then there’s no way I’m going to believe the game design isn’t AI generated as well.

Years ago I used to make video game and board game fan art. I still like this one (also one of my favourite two player video games).

A classic on the table yesterday. FFG’s 2006 remake of Warrior Knights. A bit bumpy learning the rules but a very engaging experience once we’d played a few rounds. Strong Twilight Imperium vibes.

For over five years (but fewer than seven), Postmark Games has published high-quality, low-cost print-and-play games. Oh, you need examples? How about roll-and-move titles like Voyages, Aquamarine,…

There are a lot of ways to approach combat in Vampirium: 1997, some chaotic, some streamlined. Either way, tactics such as arming yourself with silver, laying traps, or catching a target by surprise can get you very far. Wishlist Vampirium: 1997 on Steam! 🩸

My print-and-play series continues with 52 Realms: Adventures, which swaps the dice for a deck of playing cards. The system is impressive in its scope, but leaves me wishing I could share the excursion with a friend or two. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/06/29/5...

Fifty-Two-Card Squick-Up
Thus it came to pass that Postmark Games graduated from dice to cards. After some of the finest print-and-plays in recent memory — after Voyages, Aquamarine, Waypoints, and Scribbly Gum — I suppose…
