Care about the games we make, but MORE IMPORTANTLY care about the people who make them.

This is me screaming into the void boardgame twitter! Does anyone have a good contact at Rebel Games or with the Meadow artist Karolina Kijak? I’ve emailed, DM’s on several platforms, etc etc etc. I know artists are usually very busy and don’t answer emails regularly so I don’t

I just wrapped a project with Anne Heidsieck and she is phenomenal to work with. We hired a cultural consultant for the project and she was able to make adjustments and changes very easily.
