Photon System Ovedrive will have PDFs, softcovers, and hardcover versions available.
No real difference between the softcover/hardcover, some people have a preference so I'm leaving the choice in the customer's hands.

Hmm, maybe I'll add a thief-like mechanic to the Raplits, since they're designed to run away and grant extra 💎 if defeated in time. Them stealing 💎 might make them more interesting and fits in with their theme.

Bluesky doesn't have polls, as far as I can tell, but I'm doing a poll on possible Photon System stretch goals to design.

Doing press-kit / media stuff for my games is hard. It's easy to come up with stuff I like about my games, but figuring out what sounds good / sells well / draws interest is difficult.
Photon System Overdrive kit is almost done though. Now I need to start promoting this thing

Photon System Overdrive playtest updated to V0.10! This update features a big boss rework, including variant bosses for each act. Now you'll face one of two different bosses each dive.

Instead of creating brand new bosses, I'm considering adding boss variations. Instead of the same dragon in Act 1, there would be different playstyles the dragon could have.
"Emberscale, the Inferno" would be more AOE focused, while "Emberscale, the Broodmother" would be minion focused. #PSOttrpg

A design challenge I'm facing with Photon System Overdrive is difficulty. As the person designing the game, I kind of know the optimal answer to any scenario/fight, since there's no real learning curve for me.
If I make something hard for me, how will it be for other players?

Photon System Overdrive playtest has been updated to V0.9! Some cool additions here, like new NPCs and Ark Addons (formerly known as Ark Upgrades, changed when I realized you could upgrade ark upgrades, which was too many instances of the word 'upgrade').

The nuance between Roguelike and Roguelite seems imprecise, especially when moving away from the video game space.
Which one would Photon System Overdrive be? Fights take place on a grid, you reset after each run, but there are permanent upgrades you can get. I think Roguelite?

Finished up Act 2 as the Eris system. Unexpectidly, I've become much more dangerous at melee because of how the daggers work with the passive. Add in a multistrike relic and I can almost 2 shot a boss.

Photon System Overdrive V0.8 playtest is out! First contact with playtesters really shines a light on things you don't notice, especially after 3 reworks. I was straight up missing definitions for certain mechanics.

In Photon System Overdrive #PSO, you equip the titular photon systems whenever you go on a mission, which determines your starting abilities and playstyle.
The Masamune system focuses on wide, sweeping attacks with its sword, and excess in melee combat.
