In episode 87 of Game Design Unboxed: Inspiration to Publication we talk with Sen-Foong Lim on his comic book IP game Mind MGMT. A game that grows with the players in strategy as well as difficulty. One player controls Mind MGMT and must scour the city for new recruits. They move around on a secret map, trying to visit locations that match one of their three randomly drawn feature cards. They can also use their four Immortals to protect locations from being exposed. Listen to Sen compare working with a creator's IP versus a company like Viacom or Warner Brothers. He unboxes how they worked with the comic creator to expand the Mind MGMT world versus slapping the IP on a pre-existing design. Featuring: Sen-Foong Lim - Guest Danielle Reynolds - Host

This episode, Keepers Murph, Dave, and Bridgett sat down with award winning game designer Sen-Foong Lim! Keeper Dave's Patreon Backer Masks Campaign Update This episode was recorded on November 17th, 2022. The time is nigh! Keeper Dave (that's me) will be running Masks of Nyarlathotep for our Patreon backers, starting in January 2023. Ending at the end of today, Monday, December 12th - when this episode goes live - I am closing the survey for backers interested in playing in my game. Once the survey is closed today - we will be choosing from backers starting at the highest backer level - Professor - and moving down through the tiers until we have a full party of six investigators. If, by chance, there are still open slots after then, we will have a limited opening to other listeners. But if you want to get a seat at the table, becoming a backer is your best bet. We will be playing bi-weekly - every other Friday - from 7-10pm ET, using Chaosium's official Fantasy Grounds, as well as the Pulp Cthulhu rules. It will look and feel like David Cronenberg directed Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. It will be unforgettable. Patreon Plug & Update We have a Patreon!

Another super fast week sees us playing a handful of new games and breaking out some old classics. We attempt to deduce why I am so successful at finding Planet X, wonder how to mind slip through the work week, realize that our prowess at a board game about cooking does not translate into the kitchen, and wonder why we should make wine when you can give tours of a barren wasteland and still achieve a commendable score. In addition, a legend is created while using sand timers to create A Feast for Odin. Off Brand is a long winded conversation about our Marvel movie fatigue, before making no argument beyond, Aerosmith, a cymbal crash, and muscle cars, for why Dazed and Confused has the greatest opening scene in cinema history, and we beg you to watch Free Solo and marvel at Alex Honnold. Also, there is a theory that Adam Driver and Alex Honnold in one room breaks international hunkiness laws.

Sen-Foong Lim was dropped off in the dank basement of the local university at the age of 6 by flustered parents, hoping that their precocious child could be kept entertained by this newfangled thing they heard about on the radio: Dungeons & Dragons. Little did they know that what kept them from pulling out their hair (and putting their only son up for adoption) would catapult Sen into realms unknown! Sen is passionate about exploring his culture through games and figuring out how to make all things geeky even geekier (by making them into games). Coming off of successful campaigns for MIND MGMT and his first co-authored RPG, Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall, and Kingdom Rush: Elemental Uprising, Sen is also the co-creator of the Coded Chronicles series from the Op. Sen loves taking familiar stories and giving them a twist, allowing playing to explore and experience the world through the eyes of their favourite characters.
Sen-Foong Lim of "Junk Art" and "Kingdom Rush: Rift in Time", joins Drew and Chris for a conversation that covers nearly everything. Sen, who is a provincial martial artist, DJ, professor, parent, therapist, and occasionally a board game designer talks about the tension between parents and their children as Drew and Chris go deep into their own experiences with gaming and growing up.
Recorded at Metatopia Online 2020 Presented by Jason Pitre, Sen-Foong Lim, Nicole Winchester, Christoph Sapinsky. For Canadian game designers and pros, it's pretty common to get lumped in with U.S. designers. After all, it's all North America, right? The cultural differences between the two countries often gets lost, especially when discussing the elements that inform game design and aesthetics. Our panelists will talk about the specific parts of their Canadian experience that affect their game development work.
I welcome Sen-Foong Lim to the show, co-designer of Kingdom Rush. We get into a bit of purely fun chatter about his game, including how to make the first level a lot easier. Then we get into a more serious topic - moderating online social media spaces in board gaming. How does one cultivate an inviting gaming space while encouraging as much free speech as possible? ------ 0:00 Intro 1:53 Kingdom Rush 16:50 Online Moderation YouTube - www.youtube.com/channel/UCrOtGhui_jdLdoQNI7PU4Pg YouTube(streamed) - www.youtube.com/channel/UCPCIkULbgzMEW612cSdUX7Q Podcast - @onestopcoopshop Discord - discord.gg/p4jX8AF Facebook - www.facebook.com/onestopcoopshop Donate to One Stop Co-op Shop - www.patreon.com/onestop Email - onestopcoopshop@gmail.com

The kids these days, what with their pokemons and their video games. The bleeping and the blooping. Personally I think civilization's gone downhill since Pong. It's all the colours!

Jeff Hunt makes tabletop games. Not just any table top games. Epic 250 piece games for 6 people to play for a couple hours kind of games. The craziest part is that he does it after his full-time job and it was the first game he decided to design. In today's chat with Jeff we talk about the design process starting at the mechanics and philosophies he wanted to put into the game, the importance of play testing and understanding player types. Also he tells what it's like to pitch to game publishers for the first time. **Links From today's talk** Jeff Hunt - http://inspirationtopublication.wordpress.com/2014/01/25/guest-post-blind-playtesting-by-jeff-hunt/Euro Games - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German-style_board_gameDays of Wonder - http://www.daysofwonder.com/en/Ticket To Ride - http://www.daysofwonder.com/tickettoride/en/usa/Master of Orion - http://www.myabandonware.com/game/master-of-orion-1v54x Games - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4XJames Cormier & Sen-Foong Lim - https://inspirationtopublication.wordpress.com/about/The Steps (game design blog) - https://inspirationtopublication.wordpress.com/the-steps-for-board-games/Harrison Bergeron - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_BergeronRio Grande Games - http://riograndegames.com/Essen Speil - http://www.merz-verlag-en.com/Hans im Glük - http://www.hans-im-glueck.de/english/
