Your Designer Profile

Your designer profile is your public page on Designer Den. It shows your avatar, a short bio, your games with their public table setups, your competition record and your accolades. Anyone with the link can see it and play your games in one click, whether or not they have an account. You set it all up from the Profile page (your name/avatar in the navigation), in the Designer Profile section.

Setting it up

Profile picture — upload an avatar (square image, JPG or PNG, max 5 MB). It's used on your profile page, the navigation menu, and anywhere you appear. It's stored in your account's file space, in a profile folder.
Profile URL — pick a slug for your page (e.g. …/designers/your-name). You type it freely; we tidy it into a clean URL. This is the link you share.
Tagline — a one-line headline ("Board game designer — worker placement & deckbuilders").
Website — your own site, shown on the profile.
About you — a short bio.
Profile banner — choose the two colors of your page's banner gradient with the color pickers, or tap a preset. A live preview shows the result.

Tip

Your display name comes from your account's Profile Information; update it there and it appears across your profile and playtest rooms.

Making it public

Your profile is private by default — only you can see it until you're ready. Tick "Make my profile public" (you'll need a profile URL first) and save. While it's private, you can still open it to preview exactly what others will see; a banner reminds you it isn't live yet.

Once public, anyone can open it, signed in or not, and it can appear in search engines. A My Public Profile link appears in your account menu, and Share profile at the top of the page copies your …/designers/your-name link so you can post it anywhere.

Public table setups

Your profile lists every public table setup you have, the same ones available in the community lobby, grouped under the game they belong to. Each game shows its art, genre, player count and play time, and each setup has a Play button that drops the visitor into a fresh room with the game set up and ready.

To add one, open a project's setup and make it public (see Saved Table Setups). To remove one from your profile, just turn its public sharing back off. Private and snapshot setups never appear here.

Competition record

The Competition record lists your entries in design competitions, with any place you won or finalist spot you reached, and links to each entry. Entries you withdrew or that were disqualified are not shown, and neither are competitions that are not public.

Note

Are you also a publisher? Your profile links to your publisher page, and vice-versa, so people can move between the two.

Accolades

Your profile also shows the Accolades you have earned, badges awarded for playtesting with real players, building your games, supporting the Den and doing well in design competitions. You can hide any of them from visitors. See Designer Accolades for the full list and how to earn each one.
