Origins Online Update: Now Demoing Independently

If you follow the board gaming scene at all, you probably know that Origins Online has been (rightly) canceled. You can read their statement here, and some great perspective on it from Eric Lang here. I hope Origins continues to recover from its mistakes with honor, and I hope it gives attention and momentum to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Deck of Wonders had been planning on doing a big push at Origins Online, with "Learn to Play with the Creator" events running via Tabletop Simulator every 2 hours the entire con. Even though the con isn't happening any more, we'd still love to give our community a chance to play Deck of Wonders. To that end, we've set up the events to run independently, open to anyone who's interested!

Just click here to sign up if you're interested in playing Deck of Wonders!

There's no fee for the events, though we'd suggest you donate if you can to the Black Lives Matter Global Network. You can also watch the below playthough video to get a preview of the TTS "booth" and see Deck of Wonders in action. Excited to share it with you!

Most of that hard work has been Lauren's, but the biggest contribution I've made was probably writing a strong brief for each piece of art up front. I have a 10 year background in brand strategy, and I thought it might be useful to share the template I used when writing those briefs. Here is a link to the brief template , and you're more than welcome to take it and modify it for your needs! Here's a brief outline of each element: Set: This was mostly a wayfinding piece of information. I wanted Lauren to be able to easily see what part of the game each card "belonged" to. Card Name: Self-explanatory. Dimensions/Framing: What size will the physical piece be, and what framing/layout does the art need to fit? You can usually do this once for all cards o...
