Which of these games cooking systems would you put in a #ttrpg? Don't starve Pokémon scarlet / violet Skyrim

Kinda disappointed that dungeons and dragons didn't ignore their entire consumer base and adopt a live service model. As much as a horrible precedent it would set. Getting regular balance and content updates might have kept me as a loyal customer. And I know that's wrong.

Can you not leave reviews for in development games on itch?

I'm having trouble being able to get some medicine. Please take a look at my art and consider throwing some cash at me with a picture idea with it. I'm working through stuff fast as I can, and getting my hardware to cooperate. Quoted thread has a bunch of art to check out. Thank you for looking.

I've got to make sheets for crafting now don't I? For easy bookkeeping, yeah that's going to be essential.

the cooking update means I'll be adding 27 new items for use in cooking. with changes to foraging, hunting, and monster loot tables. the update is not here yet. but I'm working on it. thank you for your patience. #ttrpg #gamedev #indiegames #dnd 🙄

Im struggling to earn some money for my actual artstyle and I have yet to create a sheet for yonkagor style for comms, but either way I need some help to actually make some money for my current living so any small donate/tips would help! I'll have my Kofi link below the post! (1/?)

They look kinda like sandstone. I made them out of clay. The fire was a bit too hot and burned away all the copper carbonate but the color of the fire was very cool.

I ate 3 whole meals today. Feels wrong...

I made a new update! for item qualities so items can be made better than standard quality. it's going to need plenty of work to finish this but I want to keep updates semi-regular so I don't end up taking a year away again. so, I guess sorry for the half update?

I got an app that counts my keystrokes for writing. And every thousand keystrokes I get a hat for the cat it puts on screen. Today I got 7 hats. Unfortunately it does not detect what key is pressed so it counts backspaces and shift key, and others.

Question about item progression. 1. Item is better based on money put into item. (materials, inlays, stone setting, ect.) 2. Item is better based on ticking boxes (item is made from good material?, is item stone set?, ect.) I started option 1 but am thinking option 2 might be where it's at.

I pushed a small update to make the game more cohesive? Changed some crafting stuff and word choices. Addressed some typos. Bigger crafting changes coming that will facilitate progression and make materials matter more.

Waking up to 30 notifications is a bit overwhelming. I'll get through them soon.

Making damage and health scale by level and making it feel good is quite a design challenge honestly.

I'm going to like this post.

I just need someone to talk to about game design. My long time gaming group is just not interested in the design aspect of gaming.

Please spread this or donate if you're able AUGHH thank youuuu

How about a #LegendOfZelda #BotW fangame ttrpg? Would anyone play that if I made it? With cooking and weapon crafting of course.

Also, I don't think I'll release the game I'm working on currently. Even though I'm sure there is an audience for it, it's too personal to me. I put a lot of my experience of grief into the story so far. I'm not even sure I'll name it.

So I guess I don't need the core rules to be simple for my partner anymore. I'll leave mana tales of dragons core rules alone for those who like that kind of osr but not at all style but I'll make tales of heroes or 'mana advanced rules' for a more traditional #ttrpg experience with levels and stuff

I knew my cooking system was in need of a rework. Honestly a few parts of crafting in general too. But I realized how to fix cooking and I just need to make ingredients designed for cooking. Which may sound obvious, but I didn't think of it till now.

Remind me tomorrow to take pictures of my newer paintings.

Is there an art tool / photo manipulation program that has a decent text tool with good font selection?

Life is kinda silly. It's pointless yet it keeps happening. I wish heaven was real.

Oh alchemy update. No retcons necessary, the cycle of creation and destruction of the elements still works. The change is clarifying. Light and dark directly create and destroy each other. And are not influenced by other elements directly but instead disrupted by the elemental cycles.

How come historically 'pain is virtue' was such an uncommon religious / ideological precept?

I know it's been done to death but I have to put biblical themes related to the darker parts of the Bible in my next game. Also a bit of heresy. Don't worry it's not uninspired there will be two stories at work at the same time I'm taking this seriously as a personal project.

Why did valentinian Christianity fall out of favor? It makes too much sense. Though honestly it's weird with the separation of old god and new god. I personally see the change as character growth rather than that. But the change is sudden enough that it's a logical conclusion.

my pc is on its last leg unfortunately. it died this morning and I don't think it's going to get better. I can rent out my brain if you're interested. I do #ttrpg , and am autistic. I do need a new computer...

Why can't commissioning an artist be like commissioning a chef? Can I please order the "what you recommend"? I'm not qualified as an artist since I make abstract pieces, but a commission would feel in-authentic if it had too much oversight or too many restrictions by someone else.

it's been a long enough break that I should get back to writing for my game. I'm going to start with writing for a solo dungeon crawler to get me back into it. it's going to be mechanically a lot closer to my original concept for mana. #ttrpg #indiegames (why does that look spelled wrong?)

it's sad that the internet is the place I learned to talk to people. and also, that I can't type worth a damn and need to rewrite 50% of the words I type.

I want to get a group together. Anyone looking for a group? #ttrpgs.

If you want to talk about game design for #ttrpgs I'm usually available. I have 13 years playing and writing. Though this is mostly cuz I need human interaction, life has been rough since my partner died.

In 2002-2005 I wasn't old enough to say my first words but I feel like #ttrpgs peaked sometime during those years.

A question about an alchemy problem 🧵 #ttrpgs #indiegames in Gebers alchemical theory it was believed that everything was made up of different amounts of the four elements (water, earth, fire, air). but that metals specifically were made up of different amounts and forms of sulfur and mercury.

I'm ok by the way. a little worn out but this is nothing new

we live in a machine of our own making, a machine fueled by our bodies and souls. a machine that its purpose is contradicted by its nature.

don't ask why this map took so long. the canvas size I made for it is 12k by somthin else. this is a topography map so redder means higher.

No I forgot to daily post 😭. I'm making a map for the setting guide

I'm reading the fearun setting guide for d&d 3e. the way it's organized is somewhat confusing but I didn't realize a setting guide was utility and not just a fiction dump (makes sense why people like them now). that does mean I can make clear goals for myself in writing a setting guide.

I'm going to make a setting guide since that feels necessary. I'm going for largely western fantasy but without Nordic or Christian influence and a focus on western alchemy. Though the Chinese influence is going to be clear with what is effectively qi and mastery of the self being central themes.

I am so bad at naming things. can I get name suggestions for a continent? if I spelled that correctly...

turns out it's hard to daily post about one subject...

I should continue writing. my game is missing a little bit here and there. it's functionally complete though. just having nobody to play it with and my general attitude of melancholy is a bit of a hindrance. still it'd be a shame if years of my life are wasted on something I didn't finish.

I really like the species I wrote that are the least human-like but they are weird enough that I don't think it's worth writing them into the official lore.

Day 3: in the life of an uayraru. Uayraru tend to live among themselves in small communities and are rarely found outside of these villages except for in the largest of townships or in caravans. A uayraru village is typically in a swamp or marsh where they are particularly well adapted for 🧵...

I've never read an rpg setting guide. Is there a particular format that works well for one?
