3 years as a full-time designer & my games have comfortably passed 1 million copies sold. Gratitude to all the publishers and co-designers who make this is a viable way of life for me. Many more releases to come in the next few years. #boardgames #gamedesign

@revolutsupport I have no DM from you

[Dave Neale @DaveNealeWriter]

@Revolut Don’t even sign up with Revolut, unless you’re prepared for Revolut to hold your money hostage and make weird demands they know you can’t fulfil and never offer any compensation even if their actions cost you thousands, which is what just happened to me

[Dave Neale @DaveNealeWriter]

Our conversation covered how the original game came about, game production and marketing in the 1980s, how different the industry is today, and how the game changed Suzanne’s life and my life completely.

[Dave Neale @DaveNealeWriter]

When Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Baker Street Irregulars was published, I sent a letter to the designer of the original game, Suzanne Goldberg. We stayed in touch, and recently I suggested a call to talk about the game, which I recorded… #boardgames #sherlockholmes

@Deliveroo Recent deliveroo support interaction, where the customer service agent acknowledged it’s a bad company with an app that gives incorrect information and simply apologised. Uber Eats only for me from now on.

@AdamFMcGregor @OspreyGames It’s a colive / remote work venue, so a bit of both

[Dave Neale @DaveNealeWriter]

Appropriately for the month in which War Story: Occupied France from @OspreyGames launched, I spent October in a chateau in Normandy that was used as a local German HQ, and still bears the marks of bullet holes and shrapnel from when the allies took it back. #WWII #boardgames

@Cornishavfc @semicoop @OspreyGames @djackthompson Released October 8th

[Semi Co-op @semicoop]

I don't think we ever felt so tense while reading a choose-your-own-adventure book and staring at some cubes on the table. Can't wait to see what the other two scenarios bring.
