Thanx for the info even if it seems very unlikely that we get all this at this point...

Bet we'll have to change names and use some home-made pictures...
What about "Double Rocks - Who killed Paula Ralmer ?" :D

Don't tell David you're a small French company, the FWWM fiasco might have soured him on them ;-) Just kidding, this might be the best time to give it a shot, buzz is high. I hope there is something playable for the TP fest this year, good luck! I wonder what the laws are regarding making a few sets for fun or fans.

Salut Perno,

Are you planning to do a presentation of your Twin Peaks Gameboard on this forum ? I would love to read about it.

Merci l'ami :)

You could easily make an unnofficial game, I wouldn't even bother thinking about getting permissions for an official version- it'd cost a lot in lawyers fees and there's notmuch money in selling it probably. Best way is just to avoid anything with copyright, for example, draw a sketch or get a photo of a girl resembling laura palmer and just call her "laura" rather than stealing a screenshot of her from your DVD, or rename "Special Agent Dale Cooper" to "Coop", thankfully cherry pie and coffee can't be copyrighted! I had a friend who made a reasonably profession looking card game with a laminator and a printer, laminated cards are a bit unusual, but they look and feel good, and they're really hard wearing. Good luck.

I have done that in the past. It works, but it is very tedious work. You can now get custom designs printed on playing cards (front and back). I've used this supplier (sorry, German text) about a month ago to print my own Twin Peaks-themed card game (based on Fluxx rules). It was extremely cheap to do and the cards turned out superbly! :-)
(I'm sorry, but I won't release this game as I neither have the copyrights to Twin Peaks nor to Fluxx... It's for personal use only.)

Hi, guys...

Just to say we had some game yesterday with my potential editor.
It did well but I need to write it again to solve some practical/economical problems...

The game might be revealed at Cannes (FIJ) and I will almost certainly try the Boulogne contest (French people will know what I'm talking about ;) )
But there's still work to do. :(

For the theme, we will either make a "Double Rocks" version OR a far more mainstream game with funny pictures.
I would prefer the former but the latter would sell better... So, my editor...

I have some custom homemade cards too, maybe they suite well also for a Twin Peaks collector cards game...

Project is not dead ! Even if it goes slower than I would have expected ! ;)

I've just finished my third version of the game rules and proto. With a bit of luck, I should be able to play some game this evening. I'll let you know. :)

I suppose there is no more chocolates in that box ;)
I'm really curious to see inside...

Again... Good luck, Perno, for your project.

Thanx. I forgot to take some pictures of the game we had sunday... :(
But I'll have one more chance as I should test it again this friday. :)

For the stickers, these are from the Kickstarter campaign for Twin Peaks T-Shirt. :)

And yes... No more chocolates...

Things are going well. There should be an indiegogo campaign in October. The great news is that it should include an English version! :-)
The final name is Meurtre mysterieux a Deuroche at this time.
