A free local event next Thursday in Silver Spring. Come join the tarot / gamer party!

A playful game about a hella serious topic (power and non-consent), it's the thing I've had the most fun (yet) designing and testing this year.

Here's the list of 184 products from 108 of our member publishers we'll have in #Booth449 at #GenCon2025, including a link to download
a 36 page PDF or ePub with short descriptions of all of them, in case you wanted a little travel reading.

Got my weird lil game about credibility and archival silence I've noodled on for two years out of playtest draft and into a TTRPG coherent form by using the @tabletopartsfund.org grant as a Real Due Date. #neurospicy #gamedesign

I was pointed to this right after submitting my weird little game to a thing and I feel so less weird about the things coming out of my weird little head. Also amazing deep dive on the landlords game!

It’s finally here! Mechanisms as Metaphors: How Board Games Create Meaning takes a look at how board games make persuasive arguments, how they might move us emotionally, and how the ways we talk about the form might hinder its development.

Designed in the DMV is back out with v2 of our catalog of locally-crafted games! We're using these catalogs to engage local businesses and their customers with our creations. While the main focus is on TTRPGs, we also have a page of locally-designed boardgames such as Wingspan and Fluxx!
