He/him. I’m one half of Eurydice Games and previous owner of Reiver Games. I’m the co-designer of FlickFleet: Xeno Wars, FlickFleet and Carpe Astra; and designer of Zombology and Border Reivers. I run #CraftWednesday on Twitter. I love crafting games.
More #FlickFleet! We’ve played the opening mission twice now, and just finished mission three with a gravity well hazard in the middle of the board. I managed to take out R’s massive ship but then collided with the neutron star. Great fun! Game developed by @jackson_pope #BoardGameGeek #BGG #TabletopGames #BoardGames
After about four years and a similar number of #kickstarter campaigns my son and I finally broke out @jackson_pope’s #FlickFleet for an inaugural battle. We had fun! #BoardGameGeek #TabletopGames
I’m designing a roll and write about asteroid mining. The aim is to make a game that only requires access to a printer and things everyone will have (currently a pen per player and 3 D6s). My goal is to make a roll & write with more player interaction. I’m building a mailing group for new version announcements. DM me if you’d like to join :)
Off to my local games club tomorrow for the first time in literal years. Getting there at the beginning for the first time ever. I’ll be demoing FlickFleet there and catching up with old friends. Really looking forward to it.
Packing for my weekend of gaming. I’m taking four prototypes, Star Wars: Rebellion, Galaxy Trucker, Taluva, Ganymede, Voyages (by @rorymuldoon!), Martian Dice, Hol’s der Geier, Coloretto, Coup, Hanabi & Zombology. What does that say about me!?
We personalise the deluxe boxes of FlickFleet if wanted. Today I had a request for “a FlickFleet limerick or haiku”! This was the best I could manage:
There was a young guy who played FlickFleet,
But not with his hands but his feet,
It all went awry,
When a die hit an eye,
Now he and his friend never meet!😅​
Off for a whole weekend of gaming in West Yorkshire after work on Friday. Last time I did this was probably pre-kids (>10 years). Really looking forward to a chance to try a few of the newer games I’ve missed and do some playtesting :)
The Wife doesn't get back from Germany until 11pm tonight, so I've got an evening of playtesting my new roll & write game on the horizon. Looking forward to seeing if the changes are improvements! #boardgames
I run #CraftWednesday on the bird-site every week, celebrating tabletop-gaming related crafting. Any interest in me doing it here too?
I’m loving how productive I’ve been on my roll & write idea using National Game Design Month as the spur. It’s been static since Jan, but ice done four revisions so far this month! Anyone interested in helping playtest is welcome to join in here: http://creationandplay.blogspot.com All help gratefully appreciated!
