    Episode 325: Drew Corkill, Small Time Heroes

    With over 13 years of experience as a UI/UX designer and a passion for board games, Drew's designs combine simplicity and beauty. Inspired by pop art and guided by user experience principles, he has done the graphic design for titles like Robomon, Hissy Fit!, the HUNTED series, and all of the Solo Game of the Month games. Drew is also a game designer! Small-Time Heroes has been a passion project of his for many years. He started designing games after he gave up playing Hearthstone semi competitively and wanted something to fill that void. After 1000's of hours of Slay the Spire, listening to every single BGDL episode, and taking a game design course with Justin Gary, he created Small-Time Heroes, a card players love letter to Slay the Spire and the digital rogue-likes that came from it.
