Greetings from Touch Paper Press

[joshuabslc@yahoo.com]

Hello all,

My name is Josh Butterfield and I am the slightly more obnoxious half of Touch Paper Press LLC, a new game publishing company with two titles under our belt.  Don Boyer gave us the heads up about this great site as a potentially valuable resource for us, and he was dead on the money.

(Thank you Don!)

Trevor Cram and I have been working together since wayyyy back in 2011, and have designed a surprising number of games in the short time we've worked together.  We're still getting all of the website and business stuff going, but we're not letting any of that get in the way of doing what we love most - creating games.

Don posted a shout out for our Pulp Horror card game, Woe to the Living...

(Thank you Don!)

... as well as some great advice.  So - here I am.  Which means, of course, here we are.

I look forward to lurking for a bit and getting to know y'all, but if I can be of any service at all in the meanwhile, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks everyone!

Hey man, great to have you here. I love the look of your "Woe to the Living" deck (even though it kinda creeps me out) but anyway its great to have you here, and I can't wait to see what games you come up with in the future

Welcome to the Discourse! Hopefully you'll find some inspiration here and some useful advice from us.

Hey there!
Welcome welcome to the Discourse!

Wow game publisher. I have never met someone from that industry before.
Really interesting.
I think the Design and Development forum will love your contributions if you start a thread on that topic.

Anyway, nice to have you here. Its good to have a diversity of people from different backgrounds joining the forums.

So I'm sure you can find a lot of interesting topics here. THe SEARCH function can help you find a certain topic you might be looking for. But feel free to strart your own threads if you can't find that subject you needed. And if you do have some questions or concerns please do not hesitate to PM any of the ADMINS/Mods, they will be more than happy to help you out.

Have fun!!

Welcome to the forums. I really like your deck of cards, although I didn't see it until yesterday. Glad to have you with us. Hope you have fun here!

[Don Boyer]

Josh, you're welcome.


Everyone else - remember that even though the KS project is over, they're still taking backers if you want the Woe to the Living deck.  I WANT THIS DECK, man!  I'll get my PayPal squared away in the morning - contact this man if you still want in on the action.

@ Zero, Nathan and Dude - Thanks for the warm welcome.     ((And Nathan, thanks for ordering Woe!))

It's hard to miss with the golden age and pulp feel of those images!  We've got one more pulpy-golden-agey style game already designed, but not published and then we're switching gears away from that for a bit. 

@ Krystle

Well my friend, now you have.    We're still getting off the ground, but we're pretty serious about it, so we're excited for the future! 

Actually, I'd love to fire up a thread in the Design and Development forum.  I'm hoping I can give a little back to this community, because I'm pretty sure I'm going to be begging borrowing and stealing your wisdom.

Knock yourself out - everyone else begs ideas from each other there, what's a few more in the pool?

PS - Our website should be functional enough to order off of for pre-orders (they're in the production phase right now)..  http://www.touchpaperpress.com/portfolio/woe-to-the-living/  If you notice something not working, please let me know so I can help.   

Don, if you'd like to add that to your spiffy post or just direct them there, that would be appreciated.

Done and done.  But are you still offering the Kickstarter pricing or have you gone into the pre-orders/retail pricing?

Hey Josh, I am just making my way back over to this side of the forums. So I wanted to swing by and give you a proper welcome.

Welcome Josh Butterfield, looking forward to see more exciting projects from your company.
