It’s amazing how much of a difference some good art can make. You may have already noticed the new logo in the banner area of this page (if you’re reading this in the blog excerpt, click on the Read More link). That’s the new logo for the game, painted for me by artist Larisa Angheloni based […] 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
Couple of things. First, after the feedback from posting the rules to the game and a couple more playtests, I’ve gone and updated the current rules I have publicly available for No Honor Among Thieves. Things should be clearer, some edge cases have been added into the rules, and it is no longer possible for […] Read more
Here it is. The rules for No Honor Among Thieves, a card game of fantasy heists. Quite a lot of this I am planning on replacing with diagrams and other imagery, but I would love commentary on the current version. If anything is unclear or could be simplified at all, please let me know. The […] Read more
Carnage of the Lost World has happened, and I have returned home exhausted, with pages of notes on rule changes and suggestions. The balance of the cards seemed good, but I think I’ll be experimenting with changing the number of daggers on the die, and possibly increasing the recruitment costs of the top-level character cards […] Read more
I took a lot of the feedback I got on my work-in-progress Objective design for No Honor Among Thieves and turned it into a prototype design that I like a lot more. With any luck I should be ready to send these off to the printer early next week or–if all goes well–this weekend. Give […] Read more
Sorry I haven’t posted much recently: been very busy with work and various other projects. I’m starting to get a handle on things again now, though, so further updates will now resume. First of all, thanks to everyone who stopped by the Let’s Make Games table at Vermont Comic Con. That was the first time […] Read more
The first batch of printed cards came in! They ended up a fair bit darker than I expected, so unfortunately the Character and Defense backgrounds are looking pretty much the same. But otherwise they’re looking damn fine. I’ll have these at Vermont Comic Con, at the Let’s Make Games table. After that, I’ll work on […] Read more
At this point, I think I’m only going to be able to get a couple of the deck types printed for Comic Con. The Character and Scheme (formerly Action) decks are the most important, in my mind, because those are the cards with the most pen scribbles on them in my current home-printed set, so […] Read more
I’ve been sketching some quick temporary art for my cards for No Honor Among Thieves. We’re closing in on the time where I have to submit my order to the printer I’ll be using if I want to get it in time for Vermont ComicCon, but I think I can get something rough done for […] Read more
