I make games and talk about how to do that.

I tend to make games that take a long time to get right. Games that are intended to be played thousands of times by experts and still hold up. That's difficult to afford to do these days when the 'cult of the new' tends to reward releasing a large quantity of less-developed games. Your support can help me continue going deep on a few fully-developed games. And by the way, I think it's incredible that this site can allow creators to really do whatever it is they're best at. (Well done, Jack Conte!)

I'm also doing a podcast about game design. Two podcasts actually. One is well-produced and for anyone interested in the craft and in some entertainment. The other is for patrons only, raw sessions with my playtesters where I try to solve whatever design problems are going on in my games. I'll also continue to write articles at sirlin.net about game design. My book Playing to Win is already free there.

You can read my design articles and listen to my main podcast whether you're a patron or not. If you'd like to support my efforts here, I greatly appreciate it and you'll get some behind-the-scenes looks, sneak peaks at art, a second set of podcasts, and playtest materials for games I have in development, depending on your level of patronage.

Game on, rock on, or hugs—whichever is appropriate.
