The Present

This is an interesting time of year for the Dukes. From an outsiders perspective, there’s very little happening - no events, no AARs, no pictures, no promoting new events etc. Which seems a little strange because there’s quite a lot happening behind the scenes. I’m currently in the process of looking at event spaces (or having my minions do it for me), booking spaces, talking to game designers, etc. I hope that by this time next month, I’ll be able to share the entire line-up of events for 2024.

So sadly, I don’t have a lot to share right now - at least until I’ve signed some more contracts (which I’m super close to doing).

Last month I teased a promo. It has since been posted to both Youtube and Tiktok and here’s a direct link:

I’m also doing some design work - both for my own games and for existing ones (adding extra teams and such). It’s a little slow going, partly because I don’t have the time pressure and partly because I’m doing a lot of rework and it’s harder to get motivated for rework. It’ll all get done, but I’m not rushing anything. I have a fair amount of family things going on too, so things are a little slower for that reason as well.

The Future

Coming next year: It belongs in a museum - an Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider/The Mummy themed megagame. If you’re desperate to know more about it, you’ll have to hunt for it. There’s an AAR out there on the interwebs somewhere but for now I’ll just leave the above image as a teaser. Lots more information coming over the next several months.

As I said earlier, I’ll release the full 2024 schedule when it’s a little firmer.
