I DO MY OWN STUNTS Update #1

Woot! It's not even been 24 hours and we're off to an explosive start for a home-grown, self-promoted unknown tabletop game! 

 
The game already has more backers than Escape from Rotter Mansion (11) and we've already have more than half the backers of OH NO! There Goes Tokyo! (31).

Not only that, but an award-winning Hollywood director has reached out to me! He has offered to put me in touch with his stunt people friends! This is very exciting and I'm looking forward to adding some authentic Hollywood stunt terms and scenarios to the game!

   It might be one of these guys... who knows?

Now I know that many of you have questions about the game that you'd like answered before you back. I don't blame you. Here are some answers for now:

• What kind of game is it? I DO MY OWN STUNTS is a drafting, rolling, placement, set collection game. At least I think it is.
• How are the meeple used? Still being designed, but take a look at the ideas below!
• When will it be available? I am shooting for late fall - definitely before Christmas.
• How long do I have to become a backer? I will accept orders through July 15th
• What is the shipping cost? It depends on where you live. If you live in LA, I can hand-deliver it to you. If you live in Germany... then it might be expensive.

Some of you might be hesitant to back the game, not knowing much about it. I've opened up my sketchbook and want to share with you the ideas I've playing with. Many of these concepts are built around production costs. Some of this might be easy to pull off, other options might be more costly thanks to the overseas tariff situation.

 

IDEA 1 uses standard meeples. It's the easiest to create (from a production POV) and all the parts (except for maybe the box) can be made in the United States.

 

IDEA 2 is more ambition production-wise. I really like the dice tower in the game Don't Go In There and have actually started talking to the printer about what something like this would cost.

 

IDEA 3 features screen printed meeples. The other option is stickers, but personally, I hate putting stickers on meeples. How do you feel about putting stickers on meeples? Let me know in the comments.

IDEA 4 is more complex from a production perspective. It would require creating totally custom meeples which would then have to be tested to see if they roll and lay on all sides correctly. I do like the ideas of the film reels and band-aid tokens. These could be cardboard or wood.

I think I need to have one more round of ideation before I commit, but if you have a preference for one of these ideas, please don't hesitate to chime in! I want this to be a game that people will be excited to play!
