I’m Erik Bauer, the creator of Gaming Paper and a lifelong tabletop gamer who believes the best gaming accessories solve real problems without making the game more complicated.

Through Gaming Paper, I’ve successfully delivered multiple crowdfunding projects and learned what it takes to move an idea from the gaming table into production and then to backers.

MiniMover began with a familiar problem: someone always needs to move a miniature that nobody can comfortably reach. We designed a simple solution, tested it at the table, and refined it into a lightweight aluminum tool that we manufacture in our own machine shop.

I enjoy creating practical products that help people spend less time wrestling with the tabletop and more time enjoying the game.
