A rule in UX is to create a system that mimics the real world. Mimicking actions allows us to more easily understand how something behaves and remember what it does. It’s like pulling the trigger on your game controller to fire a weapon. 🎲✂️

I was mentoring an indie game designer yesterday and they’ve been having trouble with their bug mech ttrpg. There were just too many ideas they had, and they were having difficulty finding the game’s scope. Things were feeling scattered with no sense of direction on how to make it a cohesive game.

All stocked and thriving at Another Round! Grab a tasty artisan coffee (or the Goosepoop blueberry soda special) and grab a game that'll bring you laughs and memories!!

Had a great time playing Black Flies on Friday. Good dice system where your rolls determine how much scene-building agency you give away to your fellow players. Definitely check it out

What do dice represent in your game? What do they control? What if they determined something else besides outcomes? Black Flies uses dice to determine narrative, but it's use still brings tension and release. Check out Black Flies today at ttrpg.link/BlackFlies 🎲✂️

Great Black Flies playtest session last night! 🖤🪰 We took over the Town hall, corrupting the mayor, turned the secretary into a fly, and dug early graves for some cops. Now we have a nice piece of land in the swamp to call home! Join in on the fun at ttrpg.link/BlackFlies

Been listening to "The Science of Storytelling" and it's interesting to learn how our cognitive functions relate to how we engage in stories. The book recommends an "unexpected change." Something our individualist mind wasn't prepared for. What have you been reading that starts like this?

👁️💦 Thought of this and had to make it 🪿

Check out Knave of Cups' shop! They got an overflowing goblet of great games 😋

UX Tip: Color Contrast You can use color in your game or product as a hierarchy of importance, where anything in white is the most important because it stands out the most.

I know people have been into indie TTRPG layouts being slightly messy, with a new layout style each page. It spawns from the Mork Borg style, I think. But would be people be mad if they got a clean and gothic-style ttrpg that's easy to read?
