(My first post back in almost a year. Feels good. Also feels like it was a lot longer than that.)
I made a little board game called Lines of Fire about a year ago and launched it on Kickstarter 6 days ago. Just today it reached it's goal amount with the help of friends here, friends at home, and strangers from the board game community.
The game is a simple quick fighting game with great artwork by Jonathan Fisher. It's features various cards of creatures (printed 4 color process on business card stock) a castle base (a larger piece of the same type of card stock) and a 20 sided die (for score keeping).
Although it has been fully funded, I want to mention it here because getting the funding that fast gave me a major creative boost. I'm in a good creative space right now. Also, I would totally suggest trying out Kickstarter as a funding tool for anyone's upcoming projects.
If you want to check out the game, here's the link:

I am excited - can't wait to see it!
I'd love to collaborate on a game in the future if you have a project that would suit my work and are interested!
I've also been inspired by your kickstarter success - I wanna make a game or two!

Yeah I am really keen for a Glorious Bounty game too. Would love to hear some ideas.
I wonder if there's even some games that you may have already made, Jay, or have on the burner, that could function with a limited Glorious Bounty version with variant rules. We could team up.
Or something completely new!

Thanks guys! I have a ton of pending game ideas. Would love to collaborate on something. Most need artwork in some form (my art sucks!), others just need to be fleshed out some more.
I'm going to go through the list and post all of the basics on here for you guys to check out. Something may work for Glorious Bounty, if not I'm up for something new too.

I looked through my list of games and there are two or three that could work as a Glorious Bounty re-theme, but I don't think either will work as well as something entirely new. If you guys want to toss around ideas, I'm up for it.

You have to read it from the bottom up...don't even know if its in the right order
@perfectbebop (there'd be Clue - style character cards to determine who the rat is)9:15 PM Aug 18th via web in reply to perfectbebop
@perfectbebop - Yes! Exactly how I was thinking! And then some kind of betting system, maybe, to figure out who the rat is...9:13 PM Aug 18th via web in reply to perfectbebop
@edwardjgrugiii missions good, but it'd have to be played like poker...who can get the best deal before they F over everyone else9:11 PM Aug 18th via TweetDeck in reply to edwardjgrugiii
@perfectbebop haha!9:09 PM Aug 18th via web in reply to perfectbebop
@edwardjgrugiii its better for @lukemilton to find out when the police arrive at his door for the triple homicide he's responsible for9:09 PM Aug 18th via TweetDeck in reply to edwardjgrugiii
@edwardjgrugiii nah, wouldn't be in the spirit of the game if you let him know until it was too late9:08 PM Aug 18th via TweetDeck in reply to edwardjgrugiii
@edwardjgrugiii I like that even better9:07 PM Aug 18th via TweetDeck in reply to edwardjgrugiii
@perfectbebop - I think there should still be missions, but the winnings will come down to figuring out who to trust. Maybe?9:08 PM Aug 18th via web in reply to perfectbebop
@perfectbebop (haven't talked to @lukemilton about this at all yet)9:07 PM Aug 18th via web in reply to perfectbebop
@edwardjgrugiii bruces would be to actually complete it, where PK would have to kill everything9:04 PM Aug 18th via TweetDeck in reply to edwardjgrugiii
@perfectbebop - I was thinking that maybe one of the main parts of the game involves figuring out which of the team has sold the others out.9:06 PM Aug 18th via web in reply to perfectbebop@edwardjgrugiii that's a great idea. I see it as mission driven, with each of the four having their own objectives.
@perfectbebop - Nice! I will investigate! I want to make a Glorious Bounty game. I even have the beginnings of an
