I’ve been making video games since 2006; my last video game, Telepath Tactics, came out in 2015. It took me 5 years to create, and by the end, I was exhausted and in need of something quicker and easier–so I took a board game I’d been working on since 2003,…
Sometimes art imitates life–and sometimes, it’s entirely the other way around. With our society collapsing in real life and most of us stuck indoors, now seems like just the time to put True Messiah on sale. After all: if we have to live through the apocalypse, we might as well…
Today, I am pleased to announce Sinister Design’s next video game: Together in Battle! Set in the Telepath universe, Together in Battle is a strategy RPG and team management game of love, friendship, and turn-based tactical combat. You’ve arrived in the island kingdom of Dese with a sack of coins…

New: due to a last-minute quote from a new manufacturer that hugely undercuts those of their competitors, I’ve been able to slash the funding goal dramatically (and offer a discount on the base game to boot)! Kickstarter won’t let you make changes like this mid-campaign, so doing this required a…
The time draws nigh, True Messiah fans! In one short month, I will launch the second True Messiah Kickstarter. I’ve updated the rulebook; updated the how-to-play video series; lined up another review; did an interview; signed up for showings at not one, but two conventions; and even managed to snag…
Greetings, friends–today, you’ll be getting two monthly updates in one! What a deal! As you may recall, I went to PAX West in September to demo True Messiah with Tabletop Co-op. It was a fun experience; I wasn’t on the show floor this time around, and I had a whole…
Hey friends, it’s time for another update on True Messiah! First, exciting news: I’ll be in Seattle this weekend showing off True Messiah at PAX West with the Tabletop Co-op! If you’re coming to PAX West, make sure to stop by! (You’ll be able to find me in Room 208,…
