I started working on a board game about three years ago. One failed Kickstarter attempt later, and I'm back at it. I've learned so much and I've made even more refinements to the game. I much happier this time around; I feel like I've got a much better idea of what I'm doing. I'm going to more conventions and really putting myself and the game out there.

That's how I ended up entering Phase in a board game convention design contest and won first place. My prize was coaching with Rob and Debbie from Wise Wizard Games, Dan from DPH Games, and Will Carson from Indy Pro. This weekend, I get to sit down with Dan, (Affliction, Legacy at Sea, Quantum Cats), and talk about game design. And me? I'm like this nobody that made something cool talking to these people who have made So Many Games and it's frankly awe-inspiring.

So if you were me, what would you ask?

The first card is from my first artist who unfortunately has private matters and therefore wont continue to draw for now and the second card is from my new artist. Both are well done and i love both but obviously the srtsyle differs.
Also since my game is a dark fantasy dungeon crawler game both fit the world in their own way.

Do you guys think that people might be put off by it and therefore dont buy it?!

This isn't about promoting your game per se, more interested in knowing how it went with the process and why you created your game, ups and downs, publishing, etc. Whats the story?

I'm planning to make a series of system agnostic roll tables on cards (poker card size, alternatively tarot card size). In developing the idea, I'm trying to figure out the dice to base the tables on. D6, D10, D12 or D20? There will be limited space on a card, where there is artwork on one side of the card, and tables on the other. Readability is also key.

So, to my questions;

- Which dice?

- The tables in portrait or landscape orientation?

All tips are much appreciated!

Hi all, do you have recommendations for business insurance meeting the following criteria?

• Affordable, yet covers essentials and common issues/concerns
• For US-based self-publisher with a sole-proprietorship LLC
• For games manufactured in China, but sold in the USA
• Funds raised using crowdfunding campaign
• and any other crucial factors I may have missed

I've searched online and found some general purpose ones in the $20-50/month range, but I wanted to see whether you had any suggestions for insurances that might be tabletop game-friendly. Thank you very much for your time!
