Notetaking for game books
monkeyslunch.com/not...

If you play solo game books, you know it can be hard to track your progress in a sensible way outside of your character sheet. If you need to rewind or tell your story, here's my notetaking format to help.

A cool stick on the ground that looks like a sword. It is stripped of bark except for about half-a-foot at the base, leading up to a knot. Above the knot, the bare wood curves slightly and ends in a sharp point

📢 !!!COOL STICK ALERT!!! 📢

It's got a handle

Do you struggle to find time to play together?
Maybe you don't have to.
Maybe you can play solo but also co-op?

Have you ever watched Ladyhawke? 🦅🐺

Moulting & Regeneration - B&C: Devlog 4
bugandclaw.com/artic...
2/2

Did you know arthropods shed their exoskeletons as they grow? It's a process called ecdysis, but most of us just call it moulting. It's also how characters level up, pass time, evolve, or mutate in #ttrpg Bug & Claw!

Sigh. Pets.

You should want to keep playing a game because it's fun or rewarding, but not because it's addictive or trying to get something from you (like your money, data, etc).

I talk about this more in "Favourite mechanics: Taking a break"

Check out The Settlement of Patient Watch in B&C: Devlog 3
bugandclaw.com/artic...
2/2

For years the populace of Patient Watch avoids Stagbay proper because of a giant shrew living nearby, biding their time until they can take it and its kin down for good-- which is where their namesake comes from.

EMBRACE CARCINIZATION

EVERYTHING WILL BECOME CRAB

SIDEWAYS TO THE FUTURE

YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL CRAB

I freaking love this

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Does a player need to miss a session? How do you explain that while they're gone or once they return? Now, you can do so with some interest, explanation, plot hook, and flair!

The #enshittification of gaming.
When companies want to make money, not games.
