I’ve got some updates in the works but I’ve got some other projects going, too. Once I finish Welcome Aboard, Captain, I hope to get back into a 2nd edition of this game. There are a few issues with the 1st edition I want to address, plus magic, but it also would involve updating the app. And I want to make a mission generator that doesn’t use the app, so there’s a lot of stuff needed for a new edition.

But hearing people want it will help! The game didn’t seem to attract much interest after the competition, but now interest seems to be picking up. It also helps because then I get more feedback on any pain points, unclear concepts, gross imbalances, etc. which I may have missed in my own testing. Always looking for feedback on how to improve the game!

That sounds like fantastic news! I've printed FoYT but haven't gotten it on the table yet as I want to paint everything before I do. But having the option to play the game without a digital screen would be totally awesome in my opinion. I usually play boardgames to get away from screens and I cannot wait to start out with this one. I've also been looking at Welcome Aboard, Captain and hope to try that one out as well, even though I do not have a good solution for reading the PDF digitally while playing.

I hope more people find your games Lone Spelunker. I will spread the word as well as I can!

Well, that's great! I hope I can wrangle Fable on your Table to be a good second edition. I might even try to get rid of the companion app altogether and just have a mission generator kind of like the on in Welcome Aboard, Captain. We'll see; I have some experimentation and thinking to do.

As for playing Welcome Aboard, Captain without a device, the game comes with a link to buy a copy of the book from a print-on-demand service so you can play the core game without a device. You can't play the pre-written adventures with it (since those are driven with hyperlinks in PDF files), and of course that is an additional cost since there's printing and shipping involved from the printing service, but the procedural mission generator can be used completely free of digital devices that way. (Indeed, that's how I prefer to use it. The book is spiral bound, so it lies nice and flat on the table, and it's a nice, compact digest size so it's handy to cart around. I kinda love it. You can see it in action in the video about the procedural mission generator.)

And thanks for spreading the word about my games. That certainly helps! Most of my games just kinda sit there with no traction until someone mentions it somewhere and I get a bump, like when the Dungeon Dive made a video about Expedition to Skull Island. So getting the word out is quite helpful.
