Josh here. I design games after my kids go to bed. Single Combat - swordfight card game. Free Luna - co-op deckbuilder. Gaffle Dice - realtime dice game.
#FreeLuna took first place in the Heavy category of The Board Game Workshop Design Contest!
Surely there's a publisher looking for a co-op deckbuilder with a killer theme and tightly-integrated, innovative mechanics?

Board game design help needed: my daughter installed Linux on my laptop (she's on a mission), and now Tabletop Simulator is stuck in fullscreen mode. Alt enter doesn't help. Any ideas, board game design twitter? #tabletopgames#boardgamedesign#gamedev#tabletopsimulator
We are LIVE! Be one of the first to pledge yourself to the PRIMORDIALS and be the first to get your hands on this new interactive deck building game of eldritch intrigue. Build the power of your strange pantheon as you host banquets, masquerades, and twisted tribunals.
In tonight's self-playtest of #FreeLuna, Terra had the resistance on their heels until the final round. Public Opinion dipped so low that recruiting got more expensive. A massive Peaceful Protest and plenty of media eventually inspired an uprising...
... and on the final round, Senator Ruiz commandeered a shuttle, went to Terra, and convinced the government to recognize Luna's independence. On her return, she was named chancellor by acclamation.

I am pitching Free Luna to publishers. It's a co-op deckbuilder for 1-4 players in which you lead a revolution on the Moon against the authoritarian forces of Earth. The theme and mechanics are tightly woven together, and playtesters have been loving it. A🧵on pitching a game.
So what were those calls with Stone and Flynn about? Stone at least was working closely with the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. Very likely Flynn too. But Stone we know. That's your nexus.
Please do not consider my recent board game-related tweet as suggesting that I'm not paying attention to the hellscape we're living in. Expand the court. Prosecute the coup. Vote. Protest. Listen to women and BIPOC folks and trans folks.
Shout out to Chris at @TheBGWorkshop for all the hard work he's doing to manage The Board Game Workshop Design Contest. I know the back end of these things can be exhausting and he is doing stellar work. theboardgameworkshop.com/202…
