What is Tabletop Flow?

As you may have noticed, we changed the name of the blog. There are loads of reasons why we wanted to do this, but I figured I'd go over the primary reasons we changed the name and what our purpose will be with this blog. So here are a few of the reasons we changed the name in no specific order:

1. "Tabletop Flow" is our goal as game designers and creators of content.
What is Tabletop Flow, you ask? I went to school for Psychology and when I was thinking about tabletop gaming, I thought the closest thing I could relate it to was meditation.  It's that feeling when you're playing a game where you are just existing without negative thoughts and/or feelings brought about by the external world. You're so focused on the problems you're solving that you clear your mind. That sensation is what I'm calling Tabletop Flow. One of the greatest positive feelings in the world is when you can clear your thoughts and just enjoy the game you're playing. The same can be said when you're reading a great book or watching a movie so that's the focus of our content. We want to make people forget the things of this world when they read our content or play our games.

2. "Kickstarting Gamma Grunts" seemed self-serving. 
What I mean by self-serving is it's not focused on what we, as a company and individuals, want to be focused on. The name was focused on what we're doing and what we think and not focused on the tabletop game community. This isn't how I want to live my life let alone run a business. So when we're creating content for this blog, we want it to be focused on the reader. What information is helpful or interesting for the reader? What is our purpose in creating this content? These are the questions that "Kickstarting Gamma Grunts" didn't seem to focus on by it's role as a blog title.

3. We think the explanation of our process will help make your process easier.
Creating content can be hard but aspects of developing, manufacturing, and publishing your content is harder. That's why we want to make it easier for people to know what goes into every step of the process of tabletop game design and publishing. Our mistakes will decrease your mistakes and our research will quicken your research. That way you can focus on your game more!

4. We want to include you in our process. 
Even if this means us researching/answering your questions or giving you an outlet to share your opinions/process, we want you included. This is your blog, not ours. We want you to be the driving force of our content.

Let us know if you're liking this new direction or if you're interested in sharing content on our page. We'd love to hear your thoughts!
