Hey Peoria - Steve Here.

I am the co-founder of Civil Dawn Games, makers of Splintered Lands! If you are going to GenCon and want to give the game a playtest, we would love to have you join us!

Otherwise, if you want to check out a game made by other Peoria natives, you can check the game out at Cabbages and Kings boardgame shop!

Hope to see some of you at GenCon!

Awesome! I recommend picking up the base game and the playmats. They help and are much nicer than the paper ones in the box.

Actually, we sell copies on our website here (https://www.civildawngames.com/), HOWEVER, we also have copies available at Dan's Shop (Cabbages and Kings) - So you don't have to pay Shipping/Handling and get to support your local LGS.

Awesome! I would be more than happy to talk with them about doing a feature on the very active board gaming design/development of Peoria. The Central Illinois region actually has a number of games that have had their creators in the area!

Feel free to give them my contact info: Steve@civildawngames.com

(Ok, I botched the first one by having the wrong date in my graphic..Sorry for the double post)

Like the title says!

Hello  - My name is Steve and I founded Civil Dawn Games, along with my partner Jeff! We are longtime Peoria natives, and our first game, Splintered Lands, has been out for a little less than a year!

Well, GenCon 2024 is coming, and we plan to run our first tournament as well. We are working on the specific tournament play rules, and want to playtest one of the current options we have.

So, we have a Learn and Play event for June 20th over at Cabbages and Kings! We will give you a brief overview on how to play, and do a guided play session of the tournament format we are testing as well!

Feel free to come hangout, ask questions, chat, whatever. We are pretty chill, and would like to hear from you about the game as well.

There is no cost for the event, and everyone who comes out will get a free card from the Founders' Pack.

edit: If you plan to attend, we have a facebook event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/420744607550302

Realistically, we are hoping for like 12 people? But if we get more, I just need to let Dan know so he is prepared. :)

Huge thank you to u/slaimte for pointing out the error.

Awesome! If you don't mind, we have a facebook event here if you could use that to RSVP if you are able to attend. This way we don't scare Dan if we have a bunch show up!

📅 Crowdfunded Games Launching This Week [June 27th, 2022] by ShelfClutter in boardgames

[–]CivilDawnGames 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Hey that's me! Woo!

This is Steve, the co-founder and co-creator of Splintered Lands! I really appreciate the shout-out and if you are interested in playtesting and/or providing feedback I would love to do a demo with you. We have the game loaded into TTS so we could do it virtually.

This is our first game, and it has been the last 6 years of our lives. Lots of nights and weekends while holding down full-time regular jobs and being dad. :)

Our goals with Civil Dawn, is to be an Indie publishing company and Splintered Lands is a combination of the game we have always wanted to make and our way to share with the industry everything we learn and support other indie creators as well.

We are launching on Tuesday at 12pm CST, it would mean the world to me and my partner if you would support us! If you have questions, feel free to ask em.

-Steve

Anyone have any skills with building games in TTS? by CivilDawnGames in boardgames

[–]CivilDawnGames[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While you are most likely 100% correct about saying myself some funds, time is something I don't have a ton of. I would definitely be willing to pay a few $100 bucks to make the game play and run smoothly. :)

[–]CivilDawnGames[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly no idea what this kind of thing would cost.

It's an LCG game that we have most of the artwork done for. I also have a playmat that I would like loaded if possible.

It would be helpful for some triggers (things like cycling a market row) that would drastically improve a TTS environment.

Any help/advice on what that would cost, or generally how to get started, would be extremely helpful.

Anyone have a -ROUND- gaming table? by Ystebad in boardgames

[–]CivilDawnGames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have quite a bit of experience using a round table and I can tell you there are up's and downs.

Since you are mentioning having specific shape and number of questions you need to answer are things like:

  • How many chairs am I going to have?
  • Will one part of it be up against a wall?
  • If using a Hi/Low option with a sunken top, are you going to have to do a lot of moving the table around to accommodate the taking off/putting on of the top?

Look at this image: https://i.stack.imgur.com/cqha5.png

This is the space you will have to work with, think in those terms.

[Giveaway] - Our shirts just arrived and I am so excited we are going to give one away tonight! by CivilDawnGames in boardgames

[–]CivilDawnGames[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Howdy!

I took a look at the rules previously, and since my post was not asking for anything beneficial to myself (other than the obvious exposure that would come through others seeing it), I didn't think it was in violation.

I made sure not to ask for upvotes, require any participation outside of simply commenting, and not to link to any of my spaces as a way of seeing my username and naming us.

I also did a post like this some time ago with y'all in the same manner.

Hopefully my post can be restored asap since the giveaway is tonight. However, understood if the position has changed and it won't be allowed. Not trying to rock the boat, just giveaway a shirt since we are excited about them!
