#Design 26 - Setting & Fluff

Added 2022-06-20 11:05:11 +0000 UTC

As a tabletop game designer, what are the factors at play in different settings that you need to be aware of? How do you develop a bespoke setting for a tabletop game?

I take a typically rambling look at the subject and, naturally, tie it all back to my favourite subject: myself.

I'm feeling increasingly motivated as my current contract approaches its end. I've found my studio to be a bit of an intimidating space, recently. There's too much to do and not enough to show for it a lot of the time, but I'm excited to be getting to grips with some long-overdue tasks.

Two big ones are going to be finishing Zero Dark: Operation Kurgan and getting the beta edition of Horizon Wars: Midnight Dark ready for your consumption. And, of course, managing the Kickstarter to a hopefully-successful conclusion.

Thank you to everyone who sent their commiserations on the death of Wombat the dog. I still feel his absence keenly but it's impossible to deny that a dog is a big drain on time and money and his absence, however sad, actually makes organizing life noticeably easier. I won't be rushing to add a canine to my life again.
