Scott: A carefully curated collection of rare, first-edition, one-of-one collectibles… apparently we make games now.If you want one of these totally exclusive, definitely non-replicable cards, you can have them. I'm sure this won't destroy their value.

The Lodge

Scott: A bulletin board of junk, info, rumors, questionable achievements, and other allegedly important things about this founder guy and Little Lodge Games. Someone spent far too much time pinning it all up, so you may as well look.

By Royal Decree

Little Lodge Games is an independent game studio and publisher founded by Scott Cunningham and operated by Scott Cunningham Services. By royal decree, we make systems-driven games about progression, experimentation, meaningful decisions, and occasionally making very expensive mistakes.

The lodge is a home for games with small beginnings, big systems, and plenty to figure out. We respect the player's intelligence, time, and right to disappear for a few days without punishment.

The Lodge Is The Home. The Games Are The Journeys.

Wanted

Pixel art wanted poster portrait of Scott Cunningham, founder of Little Lodge Games
Scott CunninghamFounder And Solo Developer

Wanted for founding Little Lodge Games, building suspiciously complicated game systems, and explaining them at length.

Scott has spent 10+ years in digital marketing, content, social media, community management, and technical writing, including work across 120+ client accounts.

He now applies the same systems-first approach to games: clear rules, honest communication, and builds that hopefully survive contact with players.

Start Small

The beginnings should feel humble. The possibilities should not.

Systems Interact

Economy affects expansion. Expansion creates risk. Risk changes strategy.

Progress You Can See

Growth should show up in the world, not just in a bigger number.

Failure Makes Stories

Lose the empire, keep the game. There is always another path.

Fireside FAQ

Scott: People keep asking questions. Fine. I don't give a FAQ. But you really should read what is written on the wood before it burns.
