Isaac Vega and Lindsey Rode Launch Rose Gauntlet Entertainment
Keystone: North America will be the first release from new publisher Rose Gauntlet Entertainment, co-founded by designers Isaac Vega and Lindsey Rode, with the game being co-designed by Vega and newcomer Jeffrey Joyce. Details on the game are brief for now, aside from news of a Q2 2021 Kickstarter launch date and this short description:

In the brain-burning strategy game Keystone: North America, players take on the role of biologists who attempt to build an interconnected ecosystem through careful placement of cards and mindful planning of actions.

Rose Gauntlet Entertainment is launching with a board game, but Vega and Rode plan to venture anywhere they might need to go, as explained in this description of the company:

Quote:
The vision behind Rose Gauntlet Entertainment was created from two great needs they both felt were missing in their careers. The first need was to have complete freedom over their art, and to tell the stories that would reflect parts of who they were. The second need was to build a home for their community that could foster a welcoming, engaging, and creative environment where people would be able to connect with others through a love of gaming.

With Rose Gauntlet, they hope to create a company that will build incredible worlds, tell lasting stories, welcome diverse communities, and give back to the next generation of gamers and creators. They already feel the dream coming true, and hope you will join them for this exciting new chapter in their lives!
Other projects in the works for Rose Gauntlet Entertainment include the tabletop RPG Life After Dungeon, a 1-4 player game from Rode and Vega that will play in 60-90 minutes and is described as follows:
Quote:
The battle is over. The journey is done — yet somehow the adventure continues. Step into the world of After, and rediscover what you left behind.

Life After Dungeon is a co-operative dungeon-crawling RPG from the minds of Isaac Vega and
Lindsey Rode that aims to tell touching and action-packed stories as well as bring new life to your tabletop collection!

This will be Lindsey and Isaac's first design collaboration, and they are incredibly excited to share the strange and wonderful world of Life After Dungeon with you. Because this project is still in early development, we are staying a little bit vague on further details. However, we are incredibly excited about the feeling of magic that is already starting to form around this design!
Another project in the works is the video game Gone to Gaia, Vega's first digital game design. Here's an overview of what's coming:
Quote:
In Gone to Gaia, you take on the role of three characters who must venture through the Tide, a strange poisonous fog that has enveloped most of the world. To help quell the Tide, and ensure it does not rise further, the heroes, protected by powerful suits, must venture towards Gaia, a strange alienlike deity that appears in random locations within the Tide.

Gone to Gaia is a roguelike adventure deck-building card game in which players must use a combination of cards, character abilities, and items to venture through procedurally generated paths. These paths are full of monsters, strange relics, and undiscovered anomalies hidden within the Tide. Players who are skilled enough will be able to reach Gaia and help their civilization solve the mystery behind their dying world.

Board Game Publisher: Rose Gauntlet Entertainment

With Gone to Gaia, Isaac hopes to bring his own twist to the roguelike genre and fulfill his lifelong dream of creating his first video game. We are incredibly excited about the project and cannot wait to share even more about its development in the upcoming months.
