Obscure Designs is taking a step in another direction. The last few weeks have been incredibly enlightening for me as a designer. My classes have moved at a much brisker pace than I anticipated and on top of that designing a card game taught me a lot – even if it flopped.

Instead, this blog is going to be used for a different purpose from now on. Instead of chronicling the design of a single table top game, this space will be used to portray and draw out different systems and features for games in the future. In so many words, it will become a living portfolio of ideas, concepts and other designs for the future.

About Me

My name is Liam Sobel and I'm attending Full Sail University's Game Design program. When I started this project, in order to put everything in order, I had to create a spreadsheet just to remember all the different TCG's, CCG's and LCG's that I've played. Games have been a fundamental part of my life for over fifteen years. I live in Southern Illinois, and have all my life. Despite just now chronicling this journey, it's been on paper for the better part of two months. There's a duo helping me out - a programmer, who likes to fix my math and an artist, who will be helping with templating and other tasks.
