🎲🃏 Game Dev Log:
I’ve been playing around with drafting as a way to (both):
”Scion” name is not final
🎲🃏 Game Dev Log
Here are the basic elements (ha!) on a card.
🎲 Game Dev Question:
Do you have a recommended way to draft content for regular-sized playing cards?
I’m prototyping on index cards, but starting to wonder about size/layout on actual card decks.
I know I can get blank cards with dry/wet erase.
How are you doing this digitally?
🎲 This design diagram from Defenders of the Wild is pretty interesting.
🕹️ How do you like your sci-fi?
One of the things I like Starfield is you can play lots different styles. Just depends on what you focus on (where you go, what quest lines you engage in, what factions you work with).
🎲 Game Dev Log:
I’ve been off-and-on noodling on a card-based RPG for years. Some things have solidified (setting, basic concepts for each suit) but still struggling with making progress with all my ideas swirling.
I think I’ve settled on using the phases/procedures to drive design decisions.
🕹️ Starfield PSA:
When you do “new game plus”, most guides will say you keep your skills and powers only. This is incorrect. You also keep your background and traits.
(Looks, too, though I understand there are ways to edit those in the game.)
🎲📚🎧
Me: “want to listen to our book, like an Ettin?”
Spouse: “yes”
(we both wore one earbud.)
🕹️ Starfield Day 1:
Playing a Wanted Pilgrim
Got into some serious tussles as I explored the first planet. Also have some ailments including lung damage.
Took all my resolve to stop gathering every rock on that planet, but finally moved on to the next main quest after 4 hours.
This is gonna be fun.
🕹️ Completed the Diablo IV tier IV (lvl 70) unlock dungeon at lvl 60.
Liking this character setup.
edited to add: solo!
Added a new game to the Secret Rule Parlor Games list: Umbrella
🎲 This joke is really inside baseball, and I feel for them, but….
deeds point to Adobe! #ttrpg #burningwheel
🎲 We expected it would never happen (seriously, read the comments), but Burning Wheel is now available in digital format.
good things:
🎲 had to dust off my LARP boots, for real.
Also ended up needing to repair them with some crazy glue.
🕹️ Another play.date game idea:
Elder Scrolls, except it’s just the alchemy. (Harvesting, making)
🕹️ I think the killer game for the play.date will be an old-school CRPG.
It’s a good day for this geek. ✒️🕹️
🕹️ Current status
🎲 Not sure which the niblings will want to play.
We tried JotL at Thanksgiving but will have to relearn how.
Isle of Ixx is an Into the Odd game that seems pretty awesome.
