Hello, this is Ignacy Trzewiczek from Portal Games...
| | It's been like that forever, and I don't even need to talk about times when Portal Games was doing RPG in Poland and was publishing fan created material as an official sourcebooks for Neuroshima RPG. I am talking early days of Portal Games US, I am talking fan created Dancer army for Neuroshima Hex, I am talking fan created HMS Beagle expansion to Robinson Crusoe.
I was always humbled and amazed when you - players - were creating new content for my games. That was always the ultimate manifestation of your love and passion about the game. I cannot express how much it means to every designer when they see fan created content for their game.
This year Portal Games released two such products. Desert Tribes was created by hardcore Neuroshima Hex fans, brothers Radosław and Julian Zakrzewski. It's the whole community effort, it's Radosław and Julian design and then the majority of Neuroshima Hex community in Poland helping out with testing and balancing it against 20 other, already published armies. This is the effort of the whole community who help grow the game.
| | This year we also published The Book of Adventures. I said it already many times and I will say it again, and again, with my whole slavic honesty - this is the best expansion Portal Games published in their 25 years history.
It's you, fans pulling my game, Robinson Crusoe in directions I could never imagine, it is you moving the boundaries of the game, it's you surprising me, the designer, what can be done with my own system. The book has a ton of scenarios designed by my team, but above that it has about 15 scenarios (depending on GF or retail edition) created by fans. I couldn't be more proud.
Thank you for your support, thank you for all the variants, handouts, players' aid, for everything you create for my games and post online, mostly on BGG obviously.
I appreciate you a lot. And I hope you continue to amaze me! Thank you! | | | | WHAT'S HAPPENING AT PORTAL GAMES?
| | Reminder, we have playmats for Robinson Crusoe. This is a website exclusive, small print run, these are last copies that were left after the crowdfunding campaign. The mat is freaking epic, and I super honestly say - you need that item in your collection. I have it and I am not going back to play Robinson without it. It's gorgeous. | |
