wildly good thread

It's been a couple years since Reach of the Roach God was published, and I'm still thinking about how it pulled off stat blocks without stats. It's a load-bearing piece of tech that's criminally underused. www.explorersdesign.com/designing-lo...

While I think this is often true, it also elides another critical point: professional designers often don't realize how smart and capable people are, espeically people who don't play games. 🧵

I'm here! it's today!

remember, the sunday scaries are more scared of you than you are of them

really want to get a memoria take-home playtest packet ready for some conventions in march but it would require me to stop fussing with the layout and finish some writing 😅

meant to share this character sheet design I'm working on, always my favourite part of game design

I think a lot about how relationship maps can drive design and play. Here's a map for a six-character game that includes lines of affinity and also primary motivations proximal to characters. Everyone but the king has at least one one-sided relationship. Everyone knows exactly what to do.

been working on branding/design for memoria more for some handouts at conventions, think it's starting to come together

posting a ttrpg take on here is the equivalent of 3 cups of coffee injected directly into the brain

the idea that ttrpg's are not storytelling hinges on a very narrow definition of what a story is. we are storytelling every day. your own life is a story you tell and retell and reshape. you tell stories in every word you speak. your memories are stories.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy to be talking about story and TTRPGs again

oh no oh no I started questioning whether my game needs a gm, the pandora's box of ttrpg design has been opened

I have a little bundle where you can buy three of my games for the price of two. we could call it a black friday sale if you want. it's not, the bundle deal is forever, but like, we could call it that if it makes you feel more like shopping over the next four days itch.io/s/139076/one...

47 hours left on Transgender Deathmatch Legend II's BackerKit campaign. TV time remaining. No count outs. Not holds barred. There must be a winner. (www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...)

well I left the city with a bundle of frustrating half-ideas and returned with something almost ready to playtest. guess I just needed some nice long walks in the woods. 🌲

The secret to a good layout? Good writing and good typography. If either of those are bad, your rpg's layout will look bad. This week on Explorers Design, I delve into typography. How to set it up, pair it, and why. I cite a lot of sources. #ttrpg www.explorersdesign.com/typography-1...

the woods are still very green 🌿 (also I saw a beaver)

game design is 90% naming things. anyone have a shorter word for impatience/frustration? looking for a name for a track, something 8 letters or less, seperate from anger/rage.

whaaaaat oh my god that's wild well if you insist Heat of the Battle, the third and final (for now?) ONLC game is up, joining her sister games about parties and heists. How will YOU spend the night before the battle you might not come home from? jen-adcock15.itch.io/heat-of-the-...

At some point, if all goes well, you stop taking pride in arcane knowledge about niche topics and you start taking pleasure in sharing your passion with as many people who are obviously interested as possible. Our time here to learn and live is brutally short. Don't keep gates. Hold them open. Wide.

disappearing into the forests of ontario for three days, if you need me just get an owl to screech outside my window at exactly midnight and I'll startle awake
