Today I get some dice issues sorted out with Shadow Hunters and Tiny Epic Kingdoms, and a Traders & Builders expansion to replace an incomplete one sold to me is still being waited on. Read the rest of this entry »

The intention for today was to spend some enjoyable time playing games with friends, and ended up a big success.

Today’s community lunch is Rachel’s last day, creating a website development area, and the April book group meeting went well resulting in lots of worthwhile books to checkout and explore. Read the rest of this entry »
Homemade tokens for Tiny Epic Kingdoms are completed, a website contract begins, and True Detective has some great talent behind it.
Today I get involved with contract negotiations for a website, and make some game tokens from some dowling.
Website contract
This morning I had a good meeting with Rod about creating a website for his church. Before finalising things on the contract though we found that his surname is not the same as his wife’s, so instead of Smith we should be using Routledge there instead. After going over the rest of the proposal and getting an updated one printed out for us, signing off on it was an easy affair.
Now there’s just the matter of finances to sort out, half now and I can get started developing things for the site, and half later when done.
Dowling for creating tokens
After the computing help that I give at Te Whare Roimata, it was off to try to source some small cubes about 5-8mm in size that I can paint up to use as resource indicators for a personal version of Tiny Epic Kingdoms that I’m creating. Sadly nothing like the small cubes from meeplesource have been found, so as an alternative I’m going to go with small discs instead cut from some dowling. After the discs have been cut, sanded, and painted, they should act as a very suitable replacement.
Disc tokens cut from dowling
Cutting out the discs with a handsaw was today’s work, and some initial sanding has occurred this evening. Tomorrow I’ll be able to get them finished off and painted, when I head down to the art gallery to help with their finances.
Tiny Epic Kingdoms – in full colour
After yesterday’s playtest using a coloured-in pencil version of the game, it played so well that I’m jumping for a full colour version of it. So it was down to the local Warehouse Stationary today with the print-and-play version from the developer and proof of permission that I’m allowed to use this copyright material. Such proof wasn’t needed in the end though as surprisingly, they went ahead with no troubles at all.
As I’ve been doing quite a bit of cutting things out lately, it was also a good chance to get a decent cutting board, for there’s likely to be further need for such a thing in time to come.
After getting the new full colour cut out, it’s a lot more effective than the hand-coloured version, and all that needs to be done now to is to organise for some D12’s to act as war dice, and hopefully small coloured cubes to act as indicators of food, ore, mana, etc.
I get my crafting hat on at the community centre, and Tiny Epic Kingdoms gives you a not-so-tiny and enjoyable experience. Read the rest of this entry »
