Fresh off the back of playing (lots of!) Personal Demons from @tettix.bsky.social , I've written a full preview telling you exactly what to expect when it launches on Kickstarter later in the year. It's very good! punchboard.co.uk/personal-dem...
A first game of Personal Demons, the next game from @tettix.bsky.social (Deep Regrets). Early impressions are very good. Lots to think about, easy turns, and the usual amazing art from Judson.
Oh, hi!
Making some stickers for UKGE and Tabletop Scotland! If you could only pick one demon to have as a small sticker, which would you choose?
Big Cabinet of Caligari vibes!
Great solo play-through of Personal Demons from @boardgaymesjames.com! With an immediate Hocus Pocus reference at the jump, I approve.

At a glance I thought this was One For Sorrow, to be fair
We’re making a lot of assumptions that it’s more than one person.

Less clothes.
Shinier hair.
Bigger rictus grin.
Deader eyes.
Deader.
Bigger box.
Bigger.
Bigger still.
Melt the background.
Melt the foreground.
Deader eyes.
Deader grin.
Publish.

I, Ming, AKA Brother Ming, and everyone associated with Brother Ming Games, unequivocally denounce the use of Al Art. There is no ethical use of Generative Al to create art. We strongly disapprove of any board game publisher who use Image Generation tools in their process. Board games only have 2 components: written rules and printed physical components. The visuals in board games carry much more weight than in video games. To use Al art in board games is to treat them as nothing more than a product to be shoveled out for the sake of profit. SAY NO TO AI ART IN GAMES
What a statement! This is what we like to see on a crowdfunding page @brotherminggames.bsky.social !! 💪
Fuck AI in boardgames and fuck those that use it!

Less than an hour to go! We'll see you there!
For the Kickstarter video! But I’m going to get as much mileage out of them as I can, so expect them at cons and in my how to play vid too!
Demon puppets are happening!
- They want to avoid hi-res assets being scraped resulting in counterfeits reaching market prior to legitimate copies (just ask Wonderbow)
I’ve sent over a pro-forma crayon drawing of the celery stick with peanut butter, please acknowledge receipt.
Gotta respect the grift of charging people to do “AI work” that you could literally do yourself with no training and no skill in about five minutes. Or, if you’re strapped for five minutes, hire a toddler to do it for a celery stick with some peanut butter on it.
Your feedback on the solo mode scoring tiers would be useful! Still workshopping those amounts!
I've added an important item to my company policies.

Hot take: GenAI is a consumptive process, not a creative process. It's the equivalent of flipping channels on your TV until you find something you like and then yelling "I MADE THIS!"

I'm sorry you're having to deal with that.
If you're wondering how board game folks with goods that have already left port in China headed to the US are feeling right now:
Oh hell yeah! Love your interpretations of goetic demons! Absolutely gorgeous work.
Thanks! Yeah, every side of the box is a different colour!
I’ll get one over your way when I have one free!
Excited for you to check it out!
Thank you!!
Thanks, man!
Prototypes arrived!!!
