Hi all,
just wanted to share some work in progress updates on the water suit. The colors are still in flux.
Trying to go with a bit of a pirate look for the jack and queen:

Hi all,
Back with the work-in-progress wood suit.
Just like all of the other in-progress fantasy suits, the colors are all still a bit up in the air.

Not much to show for this card yet. I have some ideas, but wind is a more abstract hing to show visually so I think this card may be a bit more challenging.

Hi all,
I've been working on expanding the magnetic hex board with some additional pieces that make it compatible with the project GIPF games.
I'm ready to share a hex-ring compatible with Yinsh. For the time being I'm calling it a beta version as some minor things may change once its actually in folks hands.
The files can be found in the patron drive:
My goal when designing the Singularity Deck Fantasy Suits is for there to be a lot of back and forth and to try to get as many patron ideas into the deck as possible.
To kick things off, I want to collect ideas for the water suit. This one is by far the most developed already, but that doesn't mean things can't change if folks have better ideas. The colors of everything are also a bit up ...

Hi all,
First, a quick update on the piecepack: The good news is the package from the Game Crafter supposedly containing the missing components showed up quickly. The bad news is that they didn't actually send me the missing components and instead sent me a second copy of the components I already had. The follow up good news is that they are just resending me the entire order, so hopefull...

For the traditionalists out there, I made a version of the magnetic hex board without the corner holes.
Most of the functionality remains the same, however the traditional hexes looses the ability to be flipped when surrounded by other hexes and being able to slot things into the intersections. Otherwise, all of the features of the magnetic hex design remain.

Hi all,
The dice I've been previewing for a little while now are finally ready to go! I've wanted to try making custom dice for some time and finishing the third edition of the Singularity Deck finally gave me a good excuse to do it.

The updated third edition of the singularity Piecepack is shaping up and ready for everyone's feedback and ideas. Functionally the third edition is the same as the second. Same number of tiles, tokens, etc. The big difference is that visually its been updated to try match the third edition of the Singularity Deck.

After an exciting update from yesterday about the magnetic hex board, I return with less than great news on the Singularity Deck back issue, but I think I have what will likely be the final solution.
In the previous updates I talked about the issue with color-variation in the printed card backs I was receiving from Drive Thru Cards:

Hi all,
Quick update on the status of the card back issue with the singularity Deck.
The short of it is the most recent test print still has enough variation between card backs that I think it's a problem. It's way better than the previous version so reducing the magenta channel has helped.
For the curious, here are all of the card backs that have been test printed so far:<...

Hi all of you wonderful people,
I wanted to give a quick update on the status of the Singularity Deck and why there has been such a delay.
The TLDR is that after a month of back and forth experimentation with Drive Thru Cards, it appears that their printers just can't reliably print shades of magenta with consistency. As a result, I've need to change the color of the back, whi...
