Welcome back to the People’s Guild.

We’re back with a brand-new episode of TPG, and today we’re joined by a fresh face in the Splinterlands community: @teammtgjedi. Many will know him from the Grand Prix, where he first dipped his toes into the game — but he’s also a long-time strategy gamer, seasoned content creator, and now… a budding Splinterlands convert.

In this episode, we walk through his first impressions of the game, the learning curve, rental strategies, Ghost Modern exploration, the rating system, and what it feels like for a new player to step into our ecosystem. We also dive into the broader gaming world he comes from, including his work as a board game designer. His latest project — a fast, fantasy-themed math-strategy title — is currently live on Kickstarter, and you can check it out here:

It’s a fun conversation, a fresh perspective, and a great reminder of how Splinterlands can feel through new eyes.

Enjoy!

Welcome back to the People’s Guild.

Today’s episode brings another deep-dive installment of Under the Hood, the newest show under the TPG banner — hosted by @keeegs. This series breaks down the systems, structures, and decision-making processes behind the Splinterlands DAO, giving the community a clearer look at how governance, funding, and long-term planning actually take shape.

In this conversation, @keeegs sits down with @mattclarke and @bjangles to unpack the inner mechanics of the DAO Foundation, the multi-sig structure, and how legal responsibilities intersect with on-chain governance. They explore the origins of the Foundation, how directors are selected, the challenges of maintaining trust and transparency, and the future direction of Chairman bounties. From there, the discussion moves into the ongoing effort to define a DAO constitution or governance framework — what it should do, what it shouldn’t do, and how it could help guide proposals without restricting community creativity.

The episode also touches on the role of the DAO in game development, the boundaries between community voting and team authority, and the importance of clearly defining jurisdiction so the DAO’s efforts remain focused and impactful. Finally, the group explores long-term contract stability for Splinterlands development, DEC volatility, and ways to improve the proposal experience for players.

Below is everything that went down in the newest episode of Under the Hood.

Enjoy!

Welcome back to the People’s Guild.

This episode brings another installment of Under the Hood, the newest show under the TPG banner — hosted by @keeegs. Under the Hood takes a closer look at the inner workings of the Splinterlands DAO: how decisions form, how proposals evolve, and how the systems shaping the game’s future continue to improve.

In this conversation, Dave and Keeegs dive into the early foundation of a potential DAO constitutional framework — discussing how to protect the ecosystem, support DEC/SPS, and keep entry affordable for new players. They explore the idea of community representatives and voting delegation to better balance the needs of whales and smaller players. The discussion moves into proposal-process improvements, including draft phases, clearer communication, and how a standardized, recurring set-development contract could provide stability for both the DAO and the company.

All told, it’s a deep, detail-rich look at how the DAO, the team, and the community can continue building a healthier, more transparent governance and gameplay ecosystem.

Enjoy!

Welcome back to The People’s Guild.

This week, we’re joined by our good friend @keeegs — one of the great minds in the Splinterlands community and a constant force behind the scenes of DAO discussions, proposal systems and game design feedback.

We dive deep into the upcoming Land Card allocations, land card strategy and the evolving Splinterlands economy, from cinder requirements and print runs to market accessibility and card fairness. It’s a thoughtful, grounded conversation that looks both at where we are and where we’re headed.

Enjoy the show!

Welcome back to the People’s Guild.

We’re excited to introduce a brand new show under the TPG umbrella — Under the Hood, hosted by @keeegs. This series takes a closer look at the inner workings of the Splinterlands DAO: how proposals are made, how decisions get funded, and how we can keep improving the systems that shape the future of the game.

It all started with Keeegs’ post, [Finding the Flow for the Splinterlands DAO](https://peakd.com/splinterlands/@keeegs/finding-the-flow-for-the-splinterlands-dao), which sparked deeper conversations about transparency, structure & community engagement. From there, the idea for a dedicated show was born — a space to dig into the details, challenge assumptions & bring DAO discussions to life in a way that’s open, accessible & community-driven.

Welcome back to the People’s Guild.  In this episode, we’re joined by @mattclarke, who sits down with us to share his journey through Splinterlands and Hive — from early successes and gameplay strategy to his current role as DAO Chairman. Matt brings a wealth of perspective on governance, proposals, market dynamics, and the evolving future of the game, and we cover it all in this wide-ranging conversation.

From the state of the proposal system to stories from Matt’s own path in Splinterlands, plus discussions on tokenomics, community engagement, and even some lighter moments around food, freedom, and lifestyle — this one packs a little bit of everything.

Enjoy the show!

Welcome back to the People’s Guild. For Episode 146, we welcome back @davemccoy as we dig into both the present and the future of Splinterlands — from the competitive edge of Frontier format and the proposed & evolving structure of Survival Mode and bracket play, to the broader questions of marketing, player acquisition, and sustainability. 

Along the way, we explore the role of the DAO, including the potential of the CGRF (Crypto Gaming Recovery Fund) that could help stabilize and strengthen the ecosystem for years to come.
This conversation ranges wide but always circles back to the core question: how do we grow the game, the community, and the economy in ways that are lasting and player-first?

Due to some unexpected technical difficulties, we won’t be able to provide our usual section-by-section episode summary this week. Instead, we invite you to jump right in and join us for the full ride. Episode 146 is packed with insights, debates, and forward-looking ideas — a perfect snapshot of where Splinterlands stands today, and where it might be headed tomorrow.

Enjoy the show!
