I'm Dave. Five days a week I stream from the workshop — painting Death Guard, running solo RPG sessions, playtesting prototypes, and designing a board game I'm pitching at Essen Spiel in October. Come build something with me.

I'm designing a board game.

The whole summer of 2026 is one long project: take a prototype board game from notebook sketches to a pitchable build, then take it to Essen Spiel in October 2026 and put it in front of publishers. Every Wednesday is a Build Wednesday — extended segments on the prototype work, with a permanent on-screen tracker so you always know where we are.

Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are the rest of the workshop — minis, RPGs, board game reviews, guest hangs. Build Wednesday is where the arc lives.
