It's been a while since I logged into the CSW Social site. Thought I'd take this opportunity to post about my new endeavor, Canvas Temple Publishing. Essentially it's a low-key vanity press for me and some friends to publish games we want to publish (rather than what anyone else wants :-). A number of friends have signed up and given me designs, and so far we've run 3 successful Kickstarter campaigns, with another running right now.

Our first game, which is now shipping, is Blitzkrieg in the West. Designed by my old friend Joseph Miranda, BitW is a detailed examination of the early war (2nd WW) invasion of France. Mounted maps, cards, thick counters, it's a very nice package and a great game. Robert "Smitty" Smith did a great illustrated AAR of the game on his Panzer Digest Facebook page.

Our second was my own design, WW2 Deluxe. It's a big-hex, big-counter, low-density treatment of the entire Second World War in Europe. Low-complexity, and finish-able in an evening. This one should ship within the next 60 days.

Our third Kickstarter game was Revelation War, designed by Ty Bomba. It's another big-pieces treatment of a hypothetical Middle East conflict involving all the local players (but no US!).

Running right now is Admirals' War by Brian Herr. This is essentially a redux/redesign of the venerable War at Sea/Victory in the Pacific games, combined into one integrated whole. Deluxe treatment, big pieces, and a great fun game. You can see this on at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/563992304/admirals-war-world-w....
