Sash and Saber 28mm French and Indian War Miniatures
Comprehensive range of 28mm French and Indian War miniatures intended for wargamers and collectors.
Since 2000 Sash and Saber has produced high quality 28mm and 40mm miniatures for wargamers and collectors. Because I'm a one man show, I normally launch new ranges and gradually add to them over time. With financial backing through Kickstarter, I will be able to devote virtually all of my time completing the French and Indian War range for one release date. The range will consist of approximately 100 different packs (generally 4 figures -- all variants -- per pack).

And that's just orientation week!
Book - "How to Create Your First Board Game"
This book will help an aspiring game designer take their ideas and make them a reality. Covers everything from design to publishing.
I am an independent game designer and publisher. You can see some of my games and prototypes at www.BowTieGames.com. As I playtest my games with other gamers, the most common question I get is about how they can create their own games. They have the idea for the game, but they are not sure where to start in the process. After helping several people get started, I decided it was time to publish a book on the topic.
Do Not Die
RELAUNCHED! A challenging game of survival based on the management of vitals and resource crafting. Fun and exciting for all ages!
The game, "Do Not Die", was inspired and created through a joint collaboration between my three amazing children (ages sixteen, thirteen, and nine). They love spending time with my wife and I playing all sorts of tabletop games. Even though they have some favorites, they wanted to build something different. After the first release of Do Not Die, we received helpful feedback which we incorporated into this relaunch. We've reduced the price while maintaining quality, added detail around gameplay & rules, and expanded the game to support 5 players.
