Cinemechanix Design Journal: Bumps and Bruises
We’re about halfway through the playtest period for Cinemechanix (but still accepting playtesters, if you want to join us), so now that I’ve gotten some feedback I’m working on the 3rd revision of the rules.

I’m hoping to finish…
Cinemechanix Design Journal: (Sorta) Finished Draft
This week’s blog is going to be short, because I’ve been busy this week. I posted a partial draft of the rules (mostly just the players/rules section) to the playtest group during the last week of January, and a couple of people have run some games using that draft. My goal was to get the…
