Ex Novo has just received its very own site, and, more importantly, the **open, irrevocable third party license** @mnerurkar and I have been working on for quite some.

We frankly can't wait to see what you do with our city-building game/tool!

Today is #itchiocreatorday (https://t.co/yDNdrFXM6L is not taking a cut from any sale today), Ex Novo is 35% off, you are probably already in a spending mood, and making weird cities with dice and pencils is as fun as it sounds.

You know what to do.

🎲Ex Novo, our tabletop city-building game/tool, is now 30% off!

🏙️Grab your copy on itchio, get warm, roll dice, and create the fantasy (or even cyberpunk) metropolis you always wanted to.

My Game Cities site has been updated and improved, and, though far from finished, it should now hopefully make more sense and actually be more useful.

Visit it here to check out my work, and find out more about game urbanism & virtual cities: https://t.co/Iza5hsmmpv

[Konstantinos Dimopoulos @gnomeslair]

Any related gig leads / tips would be greatly appreciated too.

Taking my time to enjoy the wonders of #ReturnToMonkeyIsland, but also joining the Monkey Island festivities with an (older) article on Mêlée Island Town.

Ex Novo is a pen & paper city building game/tool designed by me and @mnerurkar. It lets you create everything from sci-fi mega-cities, to goblin villages.

Get it on itchio: https://t.co/B4p5MBMsXv

Here's my (belated) way of celebrating @grumpygamer's and @phrenopolis's Return To Monkey Island announcements: Woodtick from Virtual Cities!

All good things must come to an end, and, after 63 issues, my CityCraft column on virtual urbanism, and the design of game cities kisses you all goodbye!

Huge thanks to @ryanlambie and the @wireframemag team <3

Hadn't tweeted about our (mine and @mnerurkar's, that is) city-building, dice-and-pencil powered game/tool Ex Novo for far too long.

Just fixed this.

Go buy Ex Novo here: https://t.co/B4p5MBMsXv

[Konstantinos Dimopoulos @gnomeslair]

Congratulations to @bohemiainteract for releasing ARMA Reforger, and a huge thanks to dear @IvanBuchta for letting me play with the design of its cities.

Here's an important question for everyone who played Ex Novo [https://t.co/B4p5MBMsXv]: What would you like to see improved, added, removed, refined or changed? What did you like and dislike about the game?

Both I and (I can imagine) @mnerurkar would like to know your thoughts.

Bundle for Two 3, our 3rd Valentine collection of 2-player RPGs - ONE WEEK ONLY through Valentine's Day, Mon 14 Feb: https://t.co/U94zzOzOKT
/Star Crossed, Ex Novo, Double or Nothing, Beak Feather Bone, & more

[Konstantinos Dimopoulos @gnomeslair]

It really is touching to have a game I co-designed (with dear @mnerurkar) appear in a Bundle of Holding. So, uhm, do get Ex Novo, alongside Ex Umbra, Star Crossed, One More Thing, Dead Friend, and more in the latest Bundle For Two, and share the sentiment. https://t.co/V5bK6LI1mH

[Konstantinos Dimopoulos @gnomeslair]

Hope people will be happy to know that the Virtual Cities atlas is currently on sale (on several places), and ordering it now means you'll have it by Christmas.

Apparently books exploring 45 classic game cities can make for good gifts too.
