About Dewlap Games

I'm Alex, and I created Dewlap Games as a blog to share my journey as an amateur game designer. Over time, I would like to evolve it into a place to host print-and-play versions of my games. Join me on this adventure as I pull back the curtain to show what’s working and, more importantly, what isn’t. I'll share my workflows, tools, designs, and other helpful insights as I learn along the way.

I will also write about the board games I'm playing, what makes them special, and occasionally try my hand at board game photography.

About Alex

My parents said I was playing Nintendo at 2 years old. Video games, computers, and programming have been a significant part of my entire life. Board games are absent from that list because for significant stretches I felt that I had no one to play them with. Meetups, mutual friends, and now my amazing partner have really brought board games to the forefront of my life. They bring me joy, a nice escape from the stress of modern life, and are a special way to connect with people I care about as well as new friends.
