Blue Shiners

Two filmmakers build a tabletop RPG: design breakdowns, hard lessons, and some sketches for fun. Michael Willer and Matt Smith (a director and a writer who met in the LA film scene) have been making games since they were kids, and have been building their science-fantasy RPG Blue Shiners (formerly Space Thieves) since early 2018. It's a scrappy, cooperative, space opera game, and getting to make it is a dream come true for both.

This channel is where we share what we've learned and bring you along for the rest of the journey, whether you design games, run them, or just love playing. Links to our Discord and mailing list are below. New videos every Thursday 🚀
