We Have a Winner!!

Today marks the day that we've (or at least I've been waiting for)!! This ol' blog hit 100 total Fans/Followers (20 Followers through Blogger and 80 Facebook Fans)!!! I'm pretty excited and glad that I get to share the excitement with the internets (and maybe anyone who comes along, they may get excited too, maybe).

Anyway, so as promised I held a little drawing, putting everyone's name in and we have a winner!! The winner is, the Facebook Fan:

Pedro Ramirez

If you, Pedro, will contact me (send me a message via Facebook or email me at mikedrys@gmail.com) then we can figure out how to get you your copy of the Armor of God (check it out here)!


Don't everyone else lose hope. Like I said before, we'll hold another drawing every 50 new Fans/Followers. So be sure to spread the word and let people know about the blog here. For the next drawing we'll give away a copy of James H Fullmer's Warriors of the Promised Land (here).



Thank you all for letting others know about this blog. It's a lot of fun to post and share my excitement with others.

Mormon Game Design 101: Episode 01

Mormon Game Design 101 has finally started moving forward. This is the first episode in a series that will be looking at the game design Armor of God Jr. This is a game aimed at children 4 years old and older. So it won't be too complex but hopefully fun enough that kids will enjoy it and hopefully parents can join in and have fun as well. Enjoy!



One of the goals with the games I'll be covering in Mormon Game Design 101 is to put them online in pdf format so that others can play them and give some feedback. That will mean that there will sometimes be some assembly required. But I'll probably go over that in the videos as well.

Hagoth Demo Copy!!

Recently Seth from Mayday Games sent me on of the demo copies of Hagoth. He received 3 from the factory. These demo copies are sent as a way of checking to make sure everything is good before doing the full print run.

I figured I'd share some pictures of the game up to this point. For the most part everything looks good. There are a few things that need to be fixed before full production, but that is being taken care of and shouldn't take too long to finish.

It's great to get the game in my hands and see pretty much what it's going to be like once it's officially released. It sure is a lot different from the prototypes I had put together at the beginning. It's actually really cool to see how it has changed over time. I'm going to do a write up of the development of the game from idea to publication. But that won't be ready until the game has been officially released.

 

Also, SaltCon that is taking place this weekend (there's a link to the site in the right-hand column of the blog here). Seth will be there and is going to be running a session or two with Hagoth so that people can see the game and learn how to play it!
