Welcome to Thing 12 Games!

Thing 12 Games is a team of passionate game developers with decades of combined experience in the video game industry.

We have a love of the tangible camaraderie that only comes from gathering around a kitchen table, and engaging fun new games with your friends and family.

Brander ‘ Badger’ Roullett is a game designer. He enjoys coming up with crazy game ideas, and then tormenting the folks at Thing 12 with them.

Darrin Michelson is a graphic designer and illustrator who has worked on everything from games to gravestones. He enjoys working himself to death, anything involving the words ‘Inception’ and ‘The Prestige’, and dogs seem to think he’s okay.

Sean Epperson has been design support for this project. He’s an avid gamer all his life, working on numerous video games and helping to develop the very popular Dice of Crowns. When not designing and developing games, he’s playing them, or talking about them on the Board Game Alliance audio podcast on BJ’s Geek Nation podcast network. We’ve tried to get him help, but he just gamed the system. Give this man some Kraken dice!

Kris Quistorff is our staff marketing artist, responsible for pulling together our product videos, manuals, info graphics, product mock-ups, Kickstarter art, and trying to wrangle the beast that is Kickstarter page management.

Sean Harrold is a video game industry veteran by day and a ‘creatives’ wrangler by night. He started Thing 12 Games with the goal of creating a safe space for all of his artist and designer friends. He manages all of the ‘business’ side of making games so that his friends can focus on being creative.
