Chasing Pipe Dreams

Ideas are nothing if not realized.

I found a great article here about chasing after your dreams. It talks about how one person can sprout an idea and have it grow with hard work and perseverance. They say the key to happiness is doing what you love. I like to believe that. Here is the article: Pipe Dreams - Written by Mathias McMeel

The Game Crafter News: Grab Bags Back In Stock

nightstalkergames — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:03:29 +0000

Our grab bags were so popular that you bought out the original bunch we created in only 3 days. I’m pleased to say that we’ve put together another lot of them, so if you missed out the first time you can pick some up again. We’ll continue to put out new bags as we have parts to fill them.

The Game Crafter News: Production Times Slower Than Normal

nightstalkergames — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 17:03:23 +0000

Over the past few weeks we’ve seen a gush of new business. October 2012 is our best month ever by a very large margin. That said, the gush of new business has slowed our production times a little. We’re at about a 10 day turn around time rather than our usual 5 day window.

To remedy this, we have brought a couple new pieces of equipment online, and hired two additional crafters. We know that fast turn around times are very important to you, and we’re striving to be back in the five day window in the next week or perhaps two, so that we can get your Christmas orders out the door as quickly as possible.

If our turn around time is of concern to you, you can always check on how things are going by looking at our status page, before you order, or looking at your online receipt after you order.

Thank you for your patience.

I had the pleasure of meeting designer Michael R. Keller at the very first Unpub Mini event at Redcap’s Corner in Philadelphia in April of 2012. Michael brought a fairly complex but utterly engrossing game called Municipality to the event. Fast forward serveral months, the name has changed and the [...]

cardboardedison:

Quick tips for things to consider when testing for balance:

Take notes throughout, but act upon the final result.

Good balance isn’t just fairness, but an approximately equal set of choices.

Always keep your design goals in mind.

Test with the same data before making changes.

Balance testing cannot truly begin until the mechanics are completed.
