'Tas, where are them DPnPs?'
To those who asked me about it lately, here's your answer in my 118th newsletter issue.
Get to know about the 3rd Dynamic Print-and-Play that's set to launch in...

Verdict’s out, folks!
In my previous issue, I walked through the story behind my Medieval methods of crafting PnP cards, and frankly... I expected some wrath from the PnP connoisseurs.
But did I get axed, though? 🤔
Shared it all in my 117th newsletter issue: https://pnptime.beehiiv.com/p/pnpers-have-spoken

I have a confession to make...
And it’s about print-and-plays (duh), but NOT about game design...
This one is more about what happens AFTER I print them out.
Do the math? 😉

Any guesses which game I printed? 😅
After “visually” playing Roll 4 Rum since 2024, I’m so glad to finally have its successor, Roll 4 MORE Rum, on my table!

What are the little things that make a PnP feel special for you?
Not talking about the genre or mechanics. But the extra bits around the game.
In my 111th newsletter issue, I’m talking about 4 little big wins that make print-and-play games even better for me. Any guesses?

Cute horror game. Gorgeous artwork. Add to that a comic book packed with lore.
Could I resist the urge to interview the mind behind such a game?
Absolutely not.
Enjoy the 7th Behind the Scenes issue, where I reached out to Bob Whitely to know about the story behind 7 To Midnight.
Get to know about the game’s origin, the world behind it, and the villain waiting near the Midnight Gate.

What does it take to create a survival game?
For my 108th newsletter issue, I conducted an anatomy of Bravery, perhaps one of the most in-depth games I’ve played this year. A game this layered deserved to be dissected and looked at closely.

In other news, it’s PRINT DAY!
I printed two games that could not be more different from one another. One is a print-and-play origami duel, while the other has me running through a maze rescuing critters from a badass villain!

Did I just play the most brutal print-and-play to date?
Hell yeah!
My review blog for Bravery just went live, and what can I say? This game had me malnourished, thirsty, low on stamina, hypothermic, and chased by bears and wolf packs.
Yet, I couldn’t stop!

Built my kingdom. Torched everyone else’s. 🔥
My latest newsletter covers the 9th episode of Visual Playthrough, where you can watch me play 3 rounds of Dragon vs Kingdom’s 2nd edition.
Will the kingdoms withstand the wrath of fiery baby dragons?

6th peek behind the scenes, and this one came with frostbite!
My 105th issue covers Radek’s story of bringing Bravery to life, a scenario-based survival game with as much going on behind the table as there is on it.

What I mostly played this May #boardgames #sologames

Fifteen rounds. A Viking crew. And the North to rule!
Iron Quest: The First Ember caught my eye with its 3D printed tokens first, but the game had more waiting once the dice hit the table.
Read my review article to know whether the 3D tokens added to this roll-and-write experience, and how my quest to master the North went.

It happened folks!
I’ve always wondered what it would feel like to see a game cross paths with reality, and I’m so glad I got to witness this one up close.
Curry collaborated with a professional highliner for Rope Walkers, and it’s much more than a cool cameo. In my 96th issue, I shared Faith Dickey’s thoughts on highlining, and how she became part of the Rope Walkers universe.

Necromancer vs. necromancer!
Loser joins the winner’s army.
In my 94th issue, I take on Mïnomancer, my second DPnP experience.
Did it go further than the first Dynamic PnP I tried?

One of my favorite things lately?
Learning what goes on behind the games we play.
My 92nd issue is the story behind Rope Walkers, a game where the world split in two!

Roll-and-write x real-life management simulation!
Midtown Mall took a route less traveled, and had me hooked on its engine-building chain reactions.
Result? I ran my own shopping mall!

I’ve always been curious about what goes into creating a game.
Got a lovely peek into Midtown Mall, thanks to its creator, Romin!

The month of May has started with a bang!
Nemo's War has finally hit my table (my new table) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the 8 year old inside me is very very happy. Make it, make it I'm Kirk Douglas or make it I'm James Mason! #boardGames #soloGames -

Ever played a 3D roll-and-write?
Last year threw OQUO at me. My first 3D print-and-play.
And this year- Iron Quest!
My 87th issue walks through how micro events could shine a light on gems like this.

Not to start a war, but... 👀
If you had to give one the slightest edge in games, what gets the nod: theme/story or mechanics?
Shared my own take in Issue #85. Don’t hate me please. 😅

I can feel it in my bones!
Something tells me this year’s Micro May will be even bigger than 2025’s. Maybe because of the game I already have in hand? 🤔
Read my latest issue on Micro May:
https://pnptime.beehiiv.com/p/less-than-a-month-to-micro-may -
This is a lightweight play board game called Harmonies. It's easy to learn, this coming from someone with an attention span of a gnat, so it actually is quite simple to get started. Although I occasionally will pull out the instructions like you might the discarded mac n cheese box cuz you forgot how high. I play it solo and enjoy it. It's very aesthetically pleasing. Maybe you might like it too I DON'T KNOW!

I found myself in a dungeon, again.
But this one had 7 corridors, filled with obstacles and enemies & one badass final boss who kept blocking my way!
