- [Morning in public](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/morning-in-public/): You wake up with a huge smile on your face, despite the alarm clock buzzing at that hideous repetitive tone that seems to somehow touch your soul; or is it that you’ve just woken up and are still a bit sleepy?

- [Kickstarter Lessons – Part 3](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/kickstarter-lessons-part-3/): The most surprising thing to me about what happened during my campaign is how a lot of the things I was trying to generate initial pledges wasn’t working.

- [Kickstarter Lessons – Part 2](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/kickstarter-lessons-part-2/): I still stand by Part 1 of this series: I launched my Kickstarter too early.
- [Kickstarter Lessons – part 1](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/kickstarter-lessons-part-1/): There are a lot of factors that contributed towards me not reaching my Kickstarter goal, but for sure there is one of them that tops all the rest and was by far the single most important thing that prevented bigger success – I wasn’t ready!
- [Post Kickstarter without the funds…what now?](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/post-kickstarter-without-the-fundswhat-now/): Unsurprisingly I was so hoping that I wouldn’t ever be writing this post, but here I am four days after the end of my Kickstarter campaign and no funds are coming my way.

- [Tribes over Types](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/tribes-over-types/): For many versions of the game, the visitors were categorised by six types: Bears, Daddies, Muscle, Otters, Twinks and Wolves.
- [So much has happened!](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/so-much-has-happened/): From starting to work with two designers for the project, having multiple conversations about financing, to creating and playtesting new versions leading to v7 being in play at the moment.

- [It was his first time…](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/it-was-his-first-time/): Blake had never been to a gay sauna before, he’d been to bars, clubs and some rather interesting house parties, he’d passed through dark rooms, though had yet to have a run in with anyone that felt even remotely like the kind of hot, slim Furry Fox he was really looking for in the dark.
- [Getting into the Data of Action Cards](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/getting-into-the-data-of-action-cards/): nToday I’ve been really getting into the details of what the action cards are about and what would make the perfect action deck for the game.
- [Scheduled Play Testing Event in December](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/scheduled-play-testing-event-in-december/): I’ve scheduled in a play testing event to take place on Sunday the 16th. See the Event Page for more info.
- [Action Cards](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/action-cards/): While Action Cards (the cards you hold in your hand and can use on yourself or other players) were not part of the original version of the game, by version 3 I have seen them rise in importance to probably be the most vital element that needs work to perfect the gameplay.
- [Getting started…](https://gaysaunatheboardgame.com/getting-started/): Hi everyone, the first update on here from me I guess should be about this site.
