I didn't realize such a robust discussion was happening here, but I appreciate it! I'm Jamey, the author of this post, and I'm happy to answer any questions about the post or about Stonemaier Games. Thanks!

I'll just poke my head in to say hello and thank you for all your blog posts and pod/vid-casts. I've learned a lot about the tabletop ecosystem from you, and I hope to pitch my "big project" game to your company when I get it back out my head and onto the table again. Your description about wanting to publish the "main event" type of games resonated with me, and unlike some of my other games, the one I'm thinking of here really nails that brief. Best wishes, Jamey!

Just wanted to say that I had no idea some of my favorite board games were designed by the same person... who also runs one of the publishing companies. Fun to learn and see the personal side of that story!

I would love to know what the early journey was like when you took the plunge to design and publish games (and what parts of that you regret). I'm sure there was some imposter syndrome along the way.

Thank you, Blake! I'm honored to hear that. I still feel plenty of imposter syndrome. :)
