on the topic of games...I have been contemplating designing a tile laying game that looks at the construction/design/remodeling etc. of a Roman house. Well, more likely a house at Pompeii.

Any advice on designing such games or desires to collaborate on such a thing welcome

RuneMeisterKris Archaeologist, historic consultant, gamer, DM, dad, and dingus. I dress in a janky "Viking" costume and talk about history while playing games.

Also yall should subscribe to my YouTube so I feel societal pressure to post more videos since it's the easiest way for me to engage in independent #archaeology & #archaeogaming research/public outreach in my preferred subject areas while still being able to be a goof
