Do you love board games? I do! But do you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes?
How do meet-up groups get organized? What is the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign? How do publishers get their games to market? How are people reaching their market in an ever more competitive market? What type of social media personalities are springing up in support of this industry?
James interviews experts from across the industry and takes a peak under the hood in his quest to understand this far reaching community. Each episode is bite-sized, clocking in around 30 minutes, so you can take nibbles, or binge several episodes at once.
Steelwing Games is owned by Scott Morris, who has been a member of the board game industry for nearly two decades. With experience in hobby retail, game design and development, publishing, licensing, manufacturing, logistics, and distribution, Scott’s goal is to use those experiences to craft fun and exciting tabletop games that are approachable and welcoming for everyone, while also offering opportunities for new creators in this wonderful industry. Scott believes gaming offers us all the opportunity to grow, share, and make memories together.

Episode 419: Jay Cormier, Off Page Games
Jay was a freelance board game designer for 15 years, co-designing games like Junk Art, In the Hall of the Mountain King, Belfort, and Scooby-Doo: Escape from the Haunted Mansion. He then started Fail Faster, which includes tools and courses to help game designers get better at designing games. He then started his own publishing company in 2019 called Off the Page Games where he publishes games based off of indie comic books like MIND MGMT, Harrow County, and Corps of Discovery. Now he's created an imprint called Off the Page Games Unbound that allows him to publish games that aren't based on comic books, like the upcoming game, The Seekers.
