- we had (at least!) three green herons today
- took a swim
- received this awesome tome
🎲 Doomsong is looking very interesting.
It’s created by some of the folks that made the Labyrinth adventure game (minus Ben Milton of Knave/Maze Rats fame).
It’s got some Burning Wheel vibes (in a good way).
It looks weird, opinionated, and tightly produced.
I’m excited to check it out.
🎲🃏 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.
🎲 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.

Me: “want to listen to our book, like an Ettin?”
Spouse: “yes”
(we both wore one earbud.)
🎲 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.
🎲 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.
🎲📚 reading my new copy of Whitehack 4th edition.
Between this and Knave 2nd edition it’s a great time to move away from D&D while keeping the best bits and losing the worst.
(I really want a notebook version of Whitehack like a previous edition had.)
🎲✏️ Nicely done, Blackwing Volumes!
🎲 I thought I didn’t have any active Patreon anymore, but I just got a charge and was pleased to see if was for @fuseboy@dice.camp adventures project!
🎲 this is the future of #ttrpg books.
If publishers want us to buy physical and not just pdfs, this is the way.
Make it unique. Great binding and cover. Evocative but simple art. Table-friendly size. High-quality paper and printing. Ribbons for reading and reference.
Couldn’t turn down a visit to Flyleaf Books, either. 📚🃏
🎲 Has anybody been able to make ChatGPT create DALL-E prompts sufficient to make a map from the scenario you made with ChatGPT? #TTRPG
