Hi all,

Please feel free to ignore this fairly blatant plug for my (very!) new blog. It's been something I have long wanted to start, and in the spirit of the new year's resolution, have now done so.

Visit: www.brettspiel.co.uk

I hope to use it as a vehicle for discussing and exploring my own approach to game design, including information about any future success in game design competitions or - even more speculatively - with publishers.

Last year I entered the Concours International de Créateurs de Jeux de Société (my board game 'Terraform' was eventually placed 17th) and also Premio Archimede (in which my card game 'Amongst Thieves' was one of the final 15 voted on by the international jury, eventually coming 9th). I have yet to 'retro-post' about these competitions and my games, but doing so is very much on my 'to do' list for the blog. At the moment I have two board game prototypes in the running for this year's Hippodice content, which I am very excited about - and I shall be posting information about my progress (if any) when it comes!

I am still unpicking all the details of the blog's design and structure, and have not (yet) got Blogger's comment system up and running as I would like (I deleted some template code and now need to fix it!). Hopefully comments will be enabled within the next week.

I hope that running the blog will allow me to connect with other designers - particularly in the UK - and with the wider community of enthusiasts. I think I have been too slow to realise that it is all to easy to get sucked in by my your own game design endeavours and hence not experience the advantages of discussing and swapping design ideas more openly.

Happy gaming (and designing)!

Brett

Good luck on your blog and designing! the design and structure of drakes flames isn't too bad for a blog.

Wow.

That's the first time I've seen an ad for VixenTor games outside of Heroscapers. I bet InfitiMax (?) is pleased.

I'm not to good with blogs, but I'll give it a glance.
