For the Kickstarter, I’ve been planning to have one basic version of No Honor Among Thieves, and one “deluxe” version that costs more but has better components. I think this is the best way to satisfy my desire to keep the game reasonably priced but also have the sort of really good pieces that make […] Read more
I’ve been working on card designs again. I like the basic designs I’ve come up with, but one very noticeable problem is that it’s difficult to distinguish different card types from each other when they’re all sitting face-up on the table. The only differences at a glance are the text and a small stripe of […] Read more
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the table at PAX East last week to try out No Honor Among Thieves! Based on the feedback I got there, I’ve spent the last week tweaking a new version of the print-and-play, which you can now find in the sidebar. Changes made in this version: Added a new […] Read more
I now have, for your perusal, a print-and-play version of No Honor Among Thieves. I have stayed up very late tonight putting this together the day before I leave for Boston and PAX East, because the business cards I got for the convention say that there is a print-and-play available on the site, and by […] Read more
I am very seriously excited to announce that me and my new prototype are going to be at the UnPub booth at PAX East next weekend! I’m only going to be there on Saturday, because I want to explore and enjoy the convention on the other two days I’ll be there, but anyone who stops […] Read more
In preparation for running a Kickstarter, I’ve been planning on giving some copies of No Honor Among Thieves to friends who’ve moved to far-away cities for some blind playtesting.

After consulting with some forum threads, my fellow local game designers and a graphic designer I know, I’ve settled on this design for the final prototype. The graphic designer I’ve been working with suggested including a printout of potential alternate styles in the review copies I send out before the Kickstarter, and I think that’s […] Read more
I got some feedback from a few people who’s opinions I respect after my last post. Everyone agrees that the Character card is good, but there were plenty of suggestions as to how to improve the Defense template, specifically in regards to the bars behind the different icon sets that represent the different defense challenges.

I’ve been working on the final card templates for No Honor Among Thieves. It’s been a long road getting to this point, but I think we’ve finally reached what the cards in the printed game are going to look like. Below you can see both a Character and a Defense. The interactions of these two […] Read more
I am currently commissioning artists to create artwork for example cards to use as demonstrations of what I want them to look like before I run the Kickstarter. I’m also looking for artists to do banners and potentially box art as well. I’m hoping to get a loose, sort of speed painter type of style; […] Read more
