But a lukewarm response to that release left him in a distressingly familiar situation - unemployed, and facing the prospect of hunting for work in what he describes as a "volatile and toxic" industry. Video gaming's loss is set to be board gaming's gain, however, with Vega turning his focus to tabletop as he looks to make the industry his "forever home". BoardGameWire caught up with Vega to find out his game design and illustration plans - and his work on Flamecraft's successor - for 2024 and beyond.
