I Do My Own Stunts!



Back in 2023, I was diagnosed (for a second time!) with Hodgkin's Lymphoma - a blood cancer. While I was undergoing chemotherapy, I was placed on disability. That summer I missed several conventions - San Diego Comic Con and Gen-Con among them.

So I decided to hold my own convention! I sold comics, I gave away sketches and for the last day, I said "I will make an original tabletop game. I don't know what it will be but it will have dice and a ghost in it!" I ended up creating and posting the development of "Escape from Rotter Mansion" - a spooky dice game that 11 people bought sight unseen!


I had so much fun making Escape from Rotter Mansion that I decided to do make another original game while I was recovering from a bone-marrow transplant in 2024. This time I told people "I'm making a game that uses a wind-up monster." This time 31 people backed the game! That game was "Oh No! There Goes Tokyo!" and you can read about the development of the game here!


Oh No! There Goes Tokyo! turned out great (look for a big announcement regarding it soon!) and now I'm ready to make a NEW GAME!

This time  I want to make a game with meeples and about Hollywood Stunt People! I don't know much about the game... yet, but I will be blogging about the process - here and on my Facebook page - from the initial idea to the completed, shipped game which I call...

Here's where YOU come in. If you want to "back" a copy of the game, send me an EMAIL me here. 
 

A finished copy of "I Do My Own Stunts" will cost $65 each plus shipping. If you are an international customer, we will have to calculate shipping costs. The game is expected to ship in the late fall, I'm shooting for a pre-Christmas release. I would LOVE to have 51 customers this time! Please help by backing and spreading the word!

There are still many decisions about the game to make, but here are a few initial idea pages from my sketchbook.


  
Ready? Then let's get game this rolling! Welcome aboard!
