Board Games - Creation And Play: June 2015
http://creationandplay.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Board Games - Creation And Play. A blog about board game design and publishing by Jackson Pope formerly of Reiver Games. Monday, June 29. A Moment of Reflection. Not much progress again this week :-( I was babysitting for a friend on Tuesday and used the evening to finish the graphic design (and add some further improvements) of the next version of Zombology, but then was too busy for the rest of the week to either print them out or playtest them. The UK Games Expo. I've got 13 pre-orders already, which ...

Board Games - Creation And Play: February 2015
http://creationandplay.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Board Games - Creation And Play. A blog about board game design and publishing by Jackson Pope formerly of Reiver Games. Monday, February 23. With the NaGa DeMon winners' copies all posted I'm finally in a position to crack on with achieving this year's goals, the largest of which is to become a hobby publisher again. But, I also need to stay focused on my goals, with two months down already, I'm going to have to crack on. In the words of Gold Five: Stay on target! Monday, February 16. For Dragon Dance t...

Board Games - Creation And Play: July 2015
http://creationandplay.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Board Games - Creation And Play. A blog about board game design and publishing by Jackson Pope formerly of Reiver Games. Monday, July 27. A Digital Digression II. So I've made a bit of progress on Zombology this week, posting blind playtesting copies to the Leeds and London Playtest UK. I still haven't decided what I want to do re. board game publishing, so in the meantime I've been doing some work on my German learning app instead. I loved Duolingo. Self publishing a run of 150 hand-made copies. Since m...

Board Games - Creation And Play: May 2015
http://creationandplay.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Board Games - Creation And Play. A blog about board game design and publishing by Jackson Pope formerly of Reiver Games. Monday, May 25. The Elephant In The Room. This post is being posted automagically while I'm on holiday in deepest, darkest Devon with the entirety of my fairly large family (14 of us! It might take me a few days to respond to comments as I'm not sure if they have the internets in Devon yet. I've bravely decided to eschew KickStarter. KickStarter changed all that. Now everyone can p...

Board Games - Creation And Play: My Games
http://creationandplay.blogspot.com/p/my-games.html
Board Games - Creation And Play. A blog about board game design and publishing by Jackson Pope formerly of Reiver Games. In 2006 I published my first board game: Border Reivers. A game about the warring Scottish and English clans on the border during the 16th century. I made 100 copies of the game by hand and sold them all within a year. It was the first game I designed and the first game I published. In 2008 Carpe Astra. Initially designed as part of NaGa DeMon. Dragon Dance: Fire v Lance. Is a two-play...

Board Games - Creation And Play: In Flux and In Corporeal Form
http://creationandplay.blogspot.com/2015/07/in-flux-and-in-corporeal-form.html
Board Games - Creation And Play. A blog about board game design and publishing by Jackson Pope formerly of Reiver Games. Monday, July 6. In Flux and In Corporeal Form. Took long enough. I've been wanting to try this version out before sending it out for playtesting, but I have to miss this week's Newcastle Playtest because of travelling for work again, and I've not managed to fit a playtest in at work for a while either, so screw it, it's going out untested! It could be awful! It could be genius! Give up...

Board Games - Creation And Play: December 2014
http://creationandplay.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Board Games - Creation And Play. A blog about board game design and publishing by Jackson Pope formerly of Reiver Games. Monday, December 29. 2014: The Year in Review. The next three weeks I was home alone, so I got to live the bachelor life style: eating like a student and playing games all the time - I even got a game of Twilight Imperium III in! A convention (Beer and Pretzels in Burton again with Terry). But in November we had some bad news which derailed my NaGa DeMon efforts a bit. I did NaGa DeMon...
