Re: Recommend some music videos to me!

My young niece is visiting me this week -- we just went and saw a local performance of a great musical that I saw as a child, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Andrew Loyd Webber).

Turns out the movie of it can be watched in its entirety on youtube, and it's great stuff:


Re: Two amazing talks on the creation of "Legacy" style board games

You can now regularly pick up "Pandemic Legacy" for $30-$40 (for example here at coolstuffinc where I buy my board games: http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/212613).

The best board game experience I have ever had, by far, in more than a decade of playing board games (I wrote about it here).

I think everyone on the planet should try this game..


You could instead be making your own dungeon crawler game

From Rock, Paper, Shotgun today:

If you are reading this now, you could instead be making your own dungeon crawler. That’s the magic of DungeonScript, a fairly simple browser-based game-making tool intended for first-person dungeon crawlers. After a little studying, you could be making your own dungeon crawlers and sharing them online for us all to play.

Looks pretty cool -- I'd love to see someone here make something..

It was really wonderful to read Martin's kind words about our site!!!!  I hope everyone sees it.

Attending GenCon 2017 board game convention if anyone wants to meet up

Once again, because it's so close to me, it looks like I will be attending GenCon 2017, the large board game convention, on Aug 17-20 in Indiana.

If any other DonationCoder members are going, send me a message so we can meet up to say hello and play a game or two.

The Story Behind Mass Effect: Andromeda's Troubled Five-Year Development

The Story Behind Mass Effect: Andromeda's Troubled Five-Year Development

Nice long article talking about the difficulties of bringing a big game to fruition.

In 2012, as work on Mass Effect 3 came to a close, a small group of top BioWare employees huddled to talk about the next entry in their epic sci-fi franchise. Their goal, they decided, was to make a game about exploration—one that would dig into the untapped potential of the first three games... Five years later, it’s hard to find anyone who’s ecstatic with the results.
