Help a brother out fellow #gamedev or even #AndroidGamers?
I'm trying to see if this game concept is fun before I sink more time into it.

I found that not getting overlaps was difficult. But arguably I didn't sit down with my PHB to come up with combat encounters.

Made an RPG encounter generator today doing 5-room dungeons with enemies and loot.
Turns out game design is harder than algorithms. Who knew balancing faction modifiers across 9 biomes would take longer than writing the selection code?

I love when a project starts with, “We don’t really have documentation… we have some notes somewhere.”

It’s like being handed a treasure map drawn by someone who was actively being chased by wolves.

Slow Travel For People Who Hate Lists “Here’s Ten Things You Should Do In <Insert Place Here>”

I'm a features writer and I've done extensive work on pop culture science for The Travel before. Any particular field of science you're looking for? I'm interested in pitching.

Great! I'll pitch you guys later today once I organize my thoughts.

Definitely interested on pitching you guys. Is Tabletop limited to just D&D or is there room for non+D&D franchises? Because there's a ton of great TTRPGs that get overshadowed by D&D.

Founders don’t usually lack ideas. They struggle with how those ideas come across. I help refine that #voice so the best thinking gets heard. I’m opening space to work with one or two #founders this month. Reach out if that’s you.

The Founder's Bandwidth Bottleneck You just can't do everything

Founder content math: every hour writing is an hour not spent on product, customers, or fixing fires. You know it builds credibility, but time always loses. Push it to nights/weekends & it never happens. #startups #founderlife #contentmarketing #buildinpublic thechain.substack.com/p/the-founde...
