What it does
Tabletop Maker Lab brings together 37 free calculators, practical guides, and reference resources for board game creators and indie publishers. It helps users evaluate probabilities, components, manufacturing quotes, landed costs, pricing, margins, crowdfunding budgets, inventory, and reprint timing. Unlike generic calculators, each tool includes clear inputs, result interpretation, practical examples, assumptions, and limitations.
Free practical tools and planning references for board game designers, tabletop creators, and indie publishers.
Free, plain-language tools for designing components, planning production, testing a campaign, and publishing a tabletop game with fewer surprises. From a prototype's physical footprint to the economics of a print run, each area is built around real creator decisions. See a per-copy cost from your own manufacturing and logistics assumptions. Enter your own manufacturer, shipping, and campaign inputs. The tools are designed to support decisions—not pretend to replace a quote or contract. Learn what to measure, what to ask for, and which assumptions deserve a secondfrom tabletopmakerlab.com

Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
