Designing knights for my game and I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say the one I'm currently working on's entire Deal is "Tire yourself to be an annoying fucker to your enemies and then completely fucking lose your shit all over them when you face the consequences." #TTRPGdesign
i'll be streaming some *Ruinsphere* (my TTRPG game) writing, and possibly switching to drawing in the second half. starting at 7pm tonight

Thinking about supporting different play styles without feeling vague. #TTRPGDesign
…it does make it harder for newer players who miss having a clearer "menu of options" they can choose from to reduce decision fatigue on what they can do. It's a #ttrpgdesign game design tradeoff I thought I fully understood UNTIL today, at a #PAXEast panel about character spotlight sharing… (🧵2/3)
When you decide on some major rule or world building change, it may be best to dump whole chapters and rewrite them from scratch (for as painful as that is).
Never be afraid to question what you already made, no matter how much effort you've put into it.

#ttrpgdesign I got to experience that beautiful moment yesterday where the last little tweaks to my game made everything click into place and it ran like a swiss watch. There are few things more satisfying.
So The Decay: Survival Horror Roleplaying is now the best horror ttrpg ever made. 😎
Question for TTRPG developers that made or are making their own game: what are your thoughts about using the generic term "Game Master" in your manual? Do you think it's better to make up a term specific to your game? (e.g. "Dungeon Master", "Storyteller" etc.)
#ttrpg #ttrpgdev #ttrpgdesign
If you had to quickly signal which was which, would you use the word "Quickplay?" And if so would you apply it to the former, latter, or...?
Open to all suggestions here, trying to puzzle this out myself. #ttrpgDesign #gameDesign
Working through layout today. Clear structure beats clever prose once dice hit the table. #TTRPGDesign

Closing in on a final design. Going to leave it for a week or so and come back to see if I notice anything or hate it; which is what happened with my original cover.

A thumbnail image showcasing a new design created by "BlueKnightWares". The logo is displayed at the top center against a blurred background, just beneath it is the name "BlueKnightWares" between two thick white lines. Beneath it is the subtitle "3 Page Ranger Reference Sheet" with two more thick white lines just below it. Taking up the bottom half of the page is part of the reference sheet, detailing information about the Ranger class such as hit dice, proficiencies, and some features.
Now for the second half-caster of the classes, featuring the Ranger.

I am currently formatting a book. At the moment, I am including these sections in most chapters:
"tldr"
"Why is this used in play"
"links to other sections"
some chapters, there seem to be almost as many boxed other bits of text as main text. Is this a major problem, do you think?

It's been a while, but last month was a massive hurdle from things (out of our control) blowing up and slowing down development. 🙈
However, we are back on track with the goal of having a new #buildinpublic update video next week!

Despite its long history of being used in Fantasy fiction, I'm iffy to use the word "mana" in my project because of the cultural appropriation implications. I HAVE a suitable alternative, just I'm not sure of how well it's going to work for prospective players.

Revising old lore is stressful, especially when I have to make sure that no outdated info remain in other parts of the manual.

I'm writing some fictional religions for my hobby project's world-building. At almost 2200 words for just three entries, I can say I'm having fun with it.

With a recent video review I saw ( youtu.be/DI8fUgSdgZg?... ) I have a valid question for TTRPG fans out there who likes mysteries campaings
Do you like when the adventure has a per-determined answer to the mystery? or the opposite?
Does anyone think there would be interest in a ttrpg system that plays similar to isekais like solo leveling or sao where you unlock cool secret stuff when certain requirements are met? I think i have a cool idea

I just found the perfect solution to an issue in my project and I'm both excited and embarrassed because, frankly, it's extremely simple and I should have thought of it from the start.

I’ve wrestled with how hard Rotted Capes should lean into survival
So I built an optional Resource Scarcity module.
Not bookkeeping. Not spreadsheets
Roll when it counts. Feel the squeeze
It’s your apocalypse.
