Battlefields Of The Napoleonic Wars - Teach & Play with Paolo Mori

✇Homo Ludens
Von: Homo Ludens
08. Juni 2025 um 06:53

💾

Join us for a special SDHistCon Online event as I sit down with acclaimed designer Paolo Mori (Blitzkrieg!, Pandemic: Fall of Rome) to learn and play his self-published system: Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars.

In this elegant and fast-paced take on Napoleonic warfare, Paolo distills grand battles into sharp tactical showdowns across a series of small, scenario-driven maps. Stripping things down to bold maneuvers, timing, and bluffing, this minimalist system captures the tension and drama of Napoleonic command without the usual overhead. It’s wargaming through Paolo’s signature design lens — clever, streamlined, and full of surprises.

Rebels Against Rebellion - Historical Discussion with David Thompson (SD Histcon)

✇Homo Ludens
Von: Homo Ludens
08. Juni 2025 um 05:05

💾

Tireless designer David Thompson (the Undaunted series, War Story, Night Witches, and countless more) is joined by questionable historian Stuart Ellis-Gorman to discuss the historical background to David’s latest (and first ever American Civil War) game: Rebels Against Rebellion, to be published by Flying Pig Games. They will discuss how David came to pick this topic, Southern loyalism in the American Civil War, the challenges in representing nineteenth-century guerilla warfare, and when David is finally going to design that Gettysburg game everyone wants him to do, among other topics.

Adam Porter is a seasoned board game designer with hundreds of pitches under his belt. He is also a trainer in Communication Skills and Interview Technique. And like most board game designers, he's experienced a LOT of rejections. Here's how to take feedback while remaining professional.

'Adam in Wales: Getting Published' is available worldwide, via Amazon's print on demand service, and as an ebook.

Playtesting is the heart of game design. Ideas flow thick and fast for many designers, but it is only by getting them on the table in front of players that we see what we have created.

Playtesting is the process by which designers turn ideas into experiences.

This book describes:

- The purpose of playtesting
- Types of playtests
- Protecting your idea
- How many playtests are necessary
- Documenting playtests
- Forms of playtester feedback

... and then goes on to describe 100 questions you should ask during the playtesting process, with a detailed rationale for each of them.
