Oh blimey, should I have done an #introdction post?
I'm James. Hello! I design tabletop games, usually as part of Needy Cat Games, which I founded in 2017.
My professional background has mostly been in miniatures-based games, but I love working on games of all sorts. These days, I play more ttrpgs than anything else, and I'd love to have the time to design more of them!
Aside from games, I love cooking, I'm a keen larper, and I do a lot of long family dog walks.
If anyone's interested, here's some stuff I've worked on:
Games Workshop: several codex / battletome / supplement books, Warhammer Quest Silver Tower, Betrayal at Calth, Gorechosen, Blood Bowl 2016, Necromunda 2017, Titanicus 2018
Mantic Games: DreadBall, League of Infamy, Hellboy the Board Game
Steamforged Games: Devil May Cry: the Bloody Palace
Needy Cat Games: Steel Colosseum, Vampires Suck at Shopping, Foul Denizens (those last two are on itch - check the linktree in my profile!)
Oh, and Blitz Bowl, which I did after I left Games Workshop but which was published by them.
And several others that are still under wraps, because the last couple of years have been interesting in board game publishing world!
Ugh, this feels increasingly like I'm tooting my own trumpet, and I hate that. But also, people often ask me what I've worked on, so it's nice to have a place to point them at.
Thankfully, my rampant impostor syndrome always does a great job of keeping my ego in check! At least, I *think* it does...
