Vendetta

I want to take this chance to tell you about Vendetta. Vendetta is a fun family card I’ve designed where each player gets to be a New York mob boss fighting to build his mob empire and control the city.

Do you like the Godfather or Soprano’s? If you do, I think you’ll really like this game.

Here’s where I need your help. To make this game a reality, we need money to pay the printer before they start printing.

To make the money-part fun for everyone, we’re offering some great incentives through a promotional web site called Kickstarter.

If you contribute to the project, you can get your name in the game, on a card, or even have a mob boss named for you.

We have a great video on Kickstarter explaining all the game and money details.

Have a look, contribute if you’re interested, and please pass the information along to your friends!

Down Time at DVG

I saw the news story about the White House gatecrashers. Before long, I started thinking about national security, so I called a guy I know at the White House. I explained my concerns and asked to access past security footage of the President.

He replied that it is classified and not available to the public.

I reminded him that I’m a game designer.

An hour later, a black SUV rolled up to our front door. Two stern-faced guys in the black suits and sunglasses handed over an external hard disk. One hulk muttered. “You got 24 hours,” while the other checked his watch.

So, I finished Frontline, sent the game files to the printer, then plugged in the hard drive to have a look.

I found a couple interesting images. I think I managed to bring out the details with my limited photoshop skills. At the 23-hour mark, I called my friend with the news.

Of course, the White House wanted first access, but I cut a deal. Before I handed over the images, I got to post them here first…(click to enlarge)...

Why Holly gets nervous when I have free time. :)
