Laser Cutting Notebook Covers

With the laser cutter, I came up with some plywood cover designs for wire-bound notebooks.  I’m still putting together my purchasing pages, but these should be available for sale soon.  But if you’d like, you can order these through the Contact Us page.  Current prices are $15 for the small notebooks and $30 for the large ones, plus taxes and shipping.  If you like, I can also customize the text and images.

Exhibiting at FlatCon 2025

Gawyn and I are hosting a booth at this year's FlatCon!  We'll be there with a collection of laser-cut game tokens, decor, and the Lunar Racer!  (Added bonus: the Lunar Racer now has rubber tires!  Truly cutting-edge technology, I know!  But you don't want to know how long it took to cut the perfect edge that would hold a rubber band in place around the wheel!)

It was a bit of a surprise — when we were on the waitlist, I figured there was no chance that any other exhibitors would cancel.  But we are on the FlatCon schedule!  We are scrambling at this point to get everything ready, but please stop by our table to check out the projects we've been working on!  And though it's not ready yet, we're hoping to have our Logystyka handout ready to print out for the conference.  So yes, please stop by to get your very own custom QR code to visit this page that you are reading now!  (More updates to come...just as soon as I laser cut a bunch more game pieces...)

Laser Cutting Game Pieces

Pretty much anything can work as a game piece.  Little toy cars, plastic dinosaurs, or wooden blocks have all made it onto our game boards.  But sometimes, you just have to make your own pieces.  So for Logystyka, we purchased a laser cutter.

Logystyka: A Turn-Based Tabletop Strategy Game

In Logystyka, the goal is simple: build your empire!  But no game is ever that simple!

We're currently working on versions 10 and 11 of the rules.  But why two versions?  Because my son and I don't agree on how complex the game should be.  So while I'm working on the "simple" version, my son's developing the enhanced version.  So for the "simple" version, imagine:

• Feeding your hungry army from settlements as inspired by Cataan and Roman logistics.
• Massing armies with combined-arms support as inspired by Risk Europe and modern military tactics.
• Deploying spells and action cards as inspired by MTG and Pokemon and Clash Royale and...okay, not exactly our most original idea! 

And for the enhanced version...add in unit upgrades.  And every single battle is like a chess game.  Except the pawns carry pitchforks.
