Last time on my #DesignDiaries, I was talking about the basic dice rolling mechanic for #BeholdTheWizard. The other half of the equation would be spells.

Since Behold The Wizard is a solo game, it had the luxury of giving the player as much time as they needed to make tactical decisions.

Who's up for some #GameDesign storytime?

I'm about to jump into a thread about the core mechanics of #BeholdTheWizard and how I feel it adds to the fun of the game. 🧵

So when I playtested #BeholdTheWizard with my kid, he said, "I want one about a Barbarian..."

So guess what I have in production? #BewareTheBarbarian

Funny how game projects birth new ones.

Done mocking up my Cassette Case game! Playtesting ongoing and I managed to fit the rules and the grimoire in an 8-page zine format.

Thanks to the clever form factor posted by @liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social I just managed to whip together a print-and-play solo sorcery microgame!

Super excited to put it out on itch.io, as soon as I can get artwork for it from @jodthecod.bsky.social
