Designed by a person.
Illustrated with AI.

Stagehand Games is one person, Daniel Wise, in Atlanta, Georgia. I design the games and write every card. The artwork starts with generative AI, and the studio would not exist without it.

I generate the artwork with OpenAI’s image generation, edit the images in Canva, and assemble the cards there myself. Canva’s own AI tools, such as Magic Eraser, are sometimes used for specific fixes.

The digital editions and this website are built with help from AI coding assistants, to my design. Any crowdfunding campaign or store listing for our games will say all of this too.

If you would rather not buy a game made this way

That is a fair choice. You are welcome to play the digital editions of Pull the Strings (opens in a new tab) and Repertory (opens in a new tab) for free, in your browser. That is why they exist.
