Latest in my #HEXploreIt obsession…Volume 4: The Domain of Mirza Noctis came in today along with its expansions and the Hero Chest. Spent the afternoon recovering from nights sorting out Vol. 1/2/4 into the chest, combining Return To expansions into their core boxes, and getting Vol. 4 ready to play.

I’ll likely use a Hexclusive character true solo for my first play of Mirza Noctis, but I will be aiming to use the Inquisitor very quickly after that; looks like a fun way to play! #boardgames

Played #HEXploreIt Valley of the Dead King tonight. Main goal was attempting to complete as many Shrine of Seasons quests as I could. Took a long time to find the tile with Shrine of Seasons and struggled to keep myself fed for much of the game. Didn’t last too long before the Dead King was coming for me and I was simply under-levelled for the final encounter. Had a good time trying to explore efficiently though and look forward to giving it another try. #boardgames #soloboardgames

I am so proud to finally be able to announce this - I am writing a series of "one-shot" style campaign games for HEXplore It titled HEXplore It: Legends!

As I know that large campaigns can be intimidating for some people and gaming groups, I wanted to make HEXplore It more approachable to those who might not have the time to dedicate to a long campaign. Each Legend will continue to have a branching narrative style of gameplay with impactful decisions, in addition to various Heroic Moments that will allow your characters to excel. The real challenge is in choosing just which of the multitude of stories to focus on. :)

It is an extremely odd experience playtesting my own board game. You ever play a game and get that "damn, it would be awesome if THIS were to happen" feeling? I get to have that sensation AND wield the power to do something about it. It's wild.

It is 5pm. I have had a non-stop stream of various types of metal music blasting through my headphones for twelve hours. We're talking Dragonforce, Symphony X, Blind Guardian, Battle Beast, and so on. Oddly enough, this is how I keep focus on my writing, which has now produced 20,000 words of a new HEXplore It adventure since my return from Gen CON. XD

@maggock and I are getting ready to head out to Gen CON! If I thought Anthrocon was huge... this is going to be over 70,000 people throughout the weekend.

While it has been a dream of mine for 30 years to go to Gen CON, the real reason we're doing it this year is to meet up with the rest of the HEXplore It board game team. :) We'll have some time to hang out together and finally meet face to face!

Broke the 300,000 words barrier this morning for Fall of the Ancients. XD

And myself, the designer Jonathan, and our editor, Frank, will be doing an hour-or-so-long livestream about the game and what to expect. :)

HEXplore It: Fall of the Ancients by hexploreit

Return to the Greenflame forest to stop a terrifying goddess from mindwiping the entire region. Work quickly as wayposts fall and the people around you turn toward her brilliant guiding light.

I saw a wonderful comment about Klik's Madness from someone eager for the new campaign to drop next week. I still can't believe I was a part of creating this story that people are genuinely enjoying.

"Hello HexploreIt Team!
Just wanted to share how much my group loves the first campaign, Klik's Madness! We're having a blast playing it every other Friday. We can't wait for this to be released. I'm personally looking forward to the add ons as well... Keep it up guys! You rock!"

Here is a teaser trailer for the next HEXplore It campaign, kicking off in less than a month!

I should note that this campaign will be approximately 325,000 words with quite literally hundreds of decisions to make and over a thousand passages to read. The first campaign, Klik's Madness, currently has a 9.0 rating on BoardGameGeek, which is mind-blowing to me.

Plus, once the full video releases, you'll get to hear my first commercial VO. XD
