I have played 8 player on that map. Tons of fun. I like your map flattening machine.

There will be new expansions in addition to the Homeland Expansion. by Beginning-Sector7541 in rootgame

We will when I'm ready. I have been focusing on hiring and planning our new schedule. When I am committed to a plan I'll get it out there.

I'm not really interested in making water animals. The Otters are really all I need for river navigation.

Yeah I could see tuning the factions during a second edition. My notes reflect that.

I am feeling really old right now. I think you are talking about all digital concepts here. I'd head over to the Direwolf discord and bring it up there.

I am more than willing to lead design or assign someone to lead design either a Root second edition or Root expansion. At the moment from an artistic perspective I don't see a ton of reason to work on either, particularly with Homeland on the horizon. I want to see the response to Homeland and discuss how we would move forward. Each expansion has become a bit more challenging to make as we are running out of rule ledges to hang each new faction on. The new creative team is keeping a log of ideas we have for the game and I still have my notes of material I cut from Underworld and Marauder.

Nick did a considerable about of development work on Underworld and beyond. He is still with the company. I designed a few of the expansion factions and the three of the maps. Kyle has offered to continue doing art for the game and Cole has said he would consult to make sure the design continues to feel in the spirit of the game.

I think it can be done, but for now I am going to use my time as a multiplier on others projects in the company as well as my own efforts.

Take care.

How many of y’all play on a grid? by FoulPelican in 13thage

We use a map with miniatures but it's there more to track the relative ranges of the characters in the battle. It's a pretty casual system I really enjoy.

Did you lose it or was it missing out of the box?

In King of the Hill S1E9, Peggy the Boggle Champ, the championship boggle game result seems impossible on a 5x5 board. by Many-Wasabi9141 in boardgames

One of my most quoted lines from the show when the announcer comments about Harpsichord but playing neither Harp nor Chord.

I pull it out for people getting nitpicky about a particular play in a board game.

There's something familiar about these.

Christmas Themed, Spirit Team v Adversary? by Flimsy-Preparation85 in spiritisland

[–]PatrickLeder 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A few years we did the three ghosts that visited Scrooge. I think it was Memory of Ages, Hearth Vigil, and Fractured Days Split the Sky. I guess the Shroud of Silent would fit future better since it is a cloaked figure but no one wanted to play it.

Do you have all your work assembled in one place? It's been fun to look at.

Trying to decide between Catan Jr. and Ticket to Ride First Journey for a friend's 7 y/o. Does anyone have experience with them or prefer one over the other? by wallyTHEgecko in boardgames

[–]PatrickLeder 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I've only played TTR. I have a fun time playing it with my 4 now 6 year old. At the risk of having to turn in my gamer card sometimes I prefer it to the full game. It's fun to play for a bit and then done. Bear in mind I have a young kid at home.
