How does a development team expand on an already existing game? We will look at the two community driven and committee led expansions to the abandoned Tabletop game 'GuildBall' and explore the stages of development that the game went through. The art and lore driven approach employed will show us how rough sketches and concept ideas become a fully fledged ruleset and ultimately miniatures that can be put on the table. We will also explore pitfalls in rules design like over complicating abilities, the lack of streamlining across the game or simply creating expansions who break the game instead of the mold.

Process 1: Art → Rules → Miniatures COLLECT ART ANALYZE DESIGN • What is your Inspiration for the expansion? • How do you want to represent your choice? • Engange people with matching skills • Do my Rules represent what I’m seeing? • How can we re-invent the game? • Why should it below the curve? • Engage builders who help you create your vision. • Listen to feedback • Fund and Produce BUILD RULES TEST & BUILD
- 14. Rules. The good. CREATE RULES THAT ARE EASY TO READ - Precise language - Rules texts stay the same across miniatures - Font and Size are ‚easy on the eye‘ FIND YOUR ART STYLE & EXECUTE - Stick with one Idea - Do not try to re-invent the wheel - Less is often more
