A Boutique Designer and Publisher of RPGs and Board Games
About Our Games
Game design is a team sport, and we are constantly practicing! We draw our inspiration from numerous places, whether at other entrepreneurial endeavors, our work in higher education and nonprofits, and from other designers we love.
Beyond just being fun, most of our games also have some form of social commentary, speculative fictional elements, historical lessons, or broader message. Why? Because games should be a reflection of culture, just like all creative content. Well-designed products and experiences should always make us question how or why we do things. Games are no different.
We happily work with other designers, brands, and publishers. Please check out some of our friends: Faith No More (band), James Mosingo (artist), Tabletop Journeys (podcast), and Indie Game Alliance.
Our thoughts on games and
game design, added sporadically.
What we’ve learned
We’re amateurs in the game design industry. That may seem like a drawback, but it has allowed us to approach the last few years with an eye toward innovation and a mind for learning.
Beyond gaming
From technology, to the social sciences, to professional design, our work lives and educations grant us unique insights into the game design process and the gaming industry.
Games are designed experiences. In the end, having a stellar game is about creating an immersive, interesting and engaging experience, which is at the heart of most kinds of design.
