It’s taken two years to get to this point, and a number of delays, but I’ve finally got everything nailed down. No Honor Among Thieves is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. Check out the campaign here. Before I head back to feverishly attending to my new campaign, I’d like to take a moment to thank […] Read more
Quick break from No Honor Among Thieves, Kickstarter and game development for a moment here. This is a sketch I’ve done of the characters in the Deadlands game I’ve been running, in the fictional territory of San Marcho. From left to right: Jian, Chinese martial artist, runaway from the rail company, and hat collector, who […] Read more
Results from the survey have stopped coming in, so I’ve gone and turned it off on my previous post. Time to go through the results. Here’s the numbers. 24 total responses. 50% were interested in better card materials. 33.33% were interested in plastic coins. 0% were interested in glass coins. 75% were interested in metal […] Read more
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.

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 that I’m planning on sending copies out to reviewers, so that it’s not just one guy and his friends saying that the game is good […] Read more
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
