Since 1978, Game Design is the name of the business I started after selling my half of Judges Guild. I then produced a travel related board game called Going Places that I sold 5,000 of before going back to Franklin Travel full time. However I have maintained Game Design as a sideline to sell odds and ends while producing lots of free play aids for favorite games.

GobboTown Games is all about making miniature figures and games that are fun yet thought provoking. We try to make all our games have that air of uncertainty about them whether you might win or lose by that tiny fraction.
It all started when we became tired of supporting game companies remaking the same games with the same flawed structures.
We make a better game with the following:

Godfox Enterprises, LaserGrenadiers extends modern combined arms combat into the future, allowing players to field powered armor infantry, tanks, crewed weapons, tanks, wardrones, helicopters, battledrones or “mechs,” artillery and ground attack aircraft. Vehicle propulsion systems may be wheeled, tracked, grav, hover, rocket or walker. The rules include all types of science fiction weaponry (lasers, cone rifles, phasers, ion cannon, etc.), but do not include psionic warfare. Fire combat dominates the game, with melee combat occurring infrequently. The rules were intended for use with any science fiction figures the players may have, and have been used for battles ranging from a few figures on each side up to the final battles of major campaigns with up to a hundred figures and twenty armored vehicles per side.
