The Game Maker’s Journal

Making games can feel overwhelming, and it’s easy to get stuck and not know what to do next. But with the right method you can set yourself up for success by removing the guesswork out of your game creation process and actually make that game you’ve been dreaming of.

The Game Maker’s Journal is made for anyone hoping to begin making tabletop games or improve their skills. Through its pages you’ll walk through exercises that reliably turn your ideas into fun, fulfilling games even if you’ve never made one before.

It has a section to capture all your ideas in, and a system to help you choose which one is the right idea to move ahead with. Then three more sections, each dedicated to developing a single game. In each section, you’ll move through clarifying your vision of the game, details of the narrative, rules, components, design and finally, room to write down playtesting notes.

This journal is not about marketing, crowdfunding, getting published or visiting gaming conventions. It is simply about making fun games that your friends and family can’t get enough of. Get started today and begin making your gaming ideas into reality.
