Get in! We are facing the terrors at Dragonwind Pass in two Shadowdark adventures, what else do you need to hear? :D #ttrpg #osr #rpg #shadowdark

Q: What games influenced this one? A: Survive the Island, Stratego, Chess, Ticket to Ride, and my lovely daughters have all inspired me.#QnAwB #MoM

Tell me that you’ve play tested the hell out of your game without telling me you’ve play tested the hell out of your game. 😂

#Day26 is in the bag! For #Gobtober and #Inktober respectively, the prompts were #mutation and #zip At least the wizard who caused these mutations gave this gobbo some pants with zippers so they could be let out for comfort. I’ll let you decide if it would work or not.

Gotta say - I’m pretty stoked - I’ve managed to get THREE #Gobtober / #Inktober images done in one day. That’s got me caught up! This is for today, #Day25 and the prompts were #outcast and #fracture Going to try to get a jump on tomorrow’s!

Getting there - almost caught up! This is for #Day24 of #Gobtober & #Inktober - the prompts were #explorer and #bake I may have gone in a different direction for that second one… ;)

Running behind, but catching up! Here’s #Day23 of #Gobtober and #Inktober for this year. The prompts were #infested and #dapper. This little guy is one of my favorites so far this year. Just kinda love the idea of a fancy gobbo with swarm druid vibes…

Q: What surprised you during testing? A: The friendliness and eagerness people are to enjoy your design. Surprisingly few have proven to be cynical or snide. Nearly everyone I've met has been encouraging and helpful. #QnAwB #MoM

Q: Is there a story behind the game? A: Every game is it's own story. I've learned much more than I bargained about greek mythology, and there's a story older than civilization. #QnAwB #MoM

Hey artists, drop your sketches, fast! #sketch #art #fantasyart

Prompts for #Day22 in #gobtober & #inktober are #daredevil and #beacon This 1 started with the gob on a rope until I thought about the fact that the beacon should be up high. So I flipped it... Not my fave, but it makes me think about a podcast I haven't heard in far 2 long.

Q: Did you cut any features? A: Several rules and actions have fallen to the bin: Discard and card swapping mechanics, setup mechanics, the Ruin mechanic, Cupid mechanic... I can go on. #QnAwB #MoM

I'm managing to get #Day21 in just under the wire! The prompts for #gobtober and #inktober were #dragon and #hero respectively. I let this one get away from me a little since, you know, DRAGON. Ahem. More to come!

Q: How important is strategy vs luck? A: I dislike randomness in game design, and adding the new Coin and Wall setup added a lot more luck than I prefer. With that said, I've found that using good tactics reliability wins in Maze of Minos. #QnAwB #MoM

#Day20 of #Gobtober and #Inktober - a little later in the day than I originally intended, but I’ll take it! Prompts for the day were #Undead and #Lounge Given my nom de plume, I think it would be particularly interesting to create an undead shaman…

One of the main reasons I love the game so much!

Q: How complex are the rules? A: Not complex at all. I was personally driven to make each rule as clean and straightforward as possible. There are very few sensible and necessary exceptions.#QnAwB #MoM

#Day19 was a lot of fun to draw the prompts for #gobtober and #inktober were #steed and #confused. Not sure I managed ‘confused’, the steed looks more ‘annoyed’, but I can live with that.

#Day18 of #gobtober and #inktober had some prompts which required some consideration when put together. But in the end, I think that I managed to tell a little story with #tinker and #flightless What do YOU think?

Q: Who is the target audience? A: Families is always my target audience, being a Father of three. But to be fair, I was also looking at supporting retailers and playtesting with more serious tabletop gamers. #QnAwB #MoM

Q: How many players is it designed for? A: 2 to 6 Players. I was discovered that the game shifts from strategic at 2 players to tactical at 6 players. Feels best between 4 to 5 players.#QnAwB #MoM

The prompts fo #Day17 are #Slime and #Contraption for #Gobtober and #Inktober, respectively. Looks like maybe that prankster goblin has been making the rounds again...

Q: How long did development take? A: Once Coins and Peek were added, it took 2 years to get to the first stage of development and ready for Kickstarter in April of 2018. After that failure, I refined the cards, setup, and mechanics for 2 more years. #QnAwB #MoM

Q: What’s the core objective? A: The objective has been the same from the beginning: Find Victory Points in the Maze before opponents do. #QnAwB #MoM

For #Day16 of #Gobtober and #Inktober the prompts are #Rich and #Gangly I imagine that he thinks his clothes are the finest threads around - I mean, most goblins just hang out in loin clothes, so… he’s kinda right.

Q: What inspired Maze of Minos? A: Maze of Minos was one of several rough concepts that didn't work until one mechanic completely changed how to play the game: Scry (or Peek in the beginning) #QnAwB #MoM

It's a little later than I'd hoped, but #Day15 turned out pretty fun. The prompts for #Gobtober and #Inktober were #Strange and #Hooray Guess this lil dude doesn't object to his odd mutations...

missing corny ”I can’t even draw a stick figure” jokes like she’s my dead wife🤧

#Day14 of #Gobtober & #Inktober and the prompts were #Moon & #Lady What can I say? Goblins appear to have some very strange mating rituals...

Still behind. Still catching up. Today’s comes in just under the wire! (A day late.) #Gobtober & #Inktober prompts for #Day13 are #Brains & #Flimsy So this lil’ guy first got turned into a zombie, and then tried to hold his meal on a paper plate… poor gobbo.

A simple / quick one to get me closer to caught up… I’ll likely add some more detail work later. #Day12 of #Gobtober & #Inktober - prompts were #Potion & #Toss Though it looks more like this poor guy lost his grip more than intentionally “tossing” the potion…

And just like that, I slipped behind on #Gobtober / #Inktober so it’s time to play catch up! For #Day11 the prompts were #Fungus and #Rescue And as we all know, squirrels often need to be rescued when they’re in trees!

Here's a grizzly bear seen just after coming out of the woods and getting ready to cross over the road. Always a good reminder to limit your speed when you're in bear country! #wildlife #bears

Went with the copper for this one

Show me what you can do with just a pen. #Drawing #illustration #art

#Day10 of #Gobtober and #Inktober The prompts of the day are #Oracle and #Mystical This old duffer may be my favorite thus far!

Rewatching _A Knight’s Tale_ for the first time in a long time. #GoodStuff

#Day9 of #Gobtober and #Inktober ! The prompts du jour are #Feral and #Ram respectively. I'm really hitting the nail on the head for these, but that's okay. I'm not looking to invest a ton of time brainstorming. Just Git er' dun!

Discounted $35 sketch portrait sale! Please DM if you'd like a spot!

#Day8 of #Gobtober and #Inktober Prompts were #Prankster and #Stinky respectively. I don't even want to know what they have planned... I managed to get ahead by one day, so now you should get these in the morning! #procreate #goblins

#Day7 of #Gobtober / #Inktober and the prompts were #pet and #panic Poor gobo. I keep doing this to them, but I don’t really mean to!

I really want to get ahead of these so that I can publish in the mornings. We'll see about tomorrow. #Day6 of #Gobtober / #Inktober and the prompts were #Lunch and #Ogre respectively. Poor gobbo...

Finally got a few more minutes to finish getting caught up! Here we've got #Day5 or #Gobtober / #Inktober The prompts were #Guard and #Smack.

Day 5: Creatures

#Day4 of #Gobtober / #inktober (I’m playing catch up). Prompts were: #magical / #cactus I found myself thinking of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice where Mickey brought a broom to life…
