No fancy artwork this time, just something that needs to be done. Like photos of books that are to be sold.

For this table-top-shots I use a homemade backdrop, much cheaper than what the chinese offer.

The monopod is steady as a rock - Plaubel Nr. 196. Stands for what "Made in Germany" once meant.

The Canon 5DMKII is tethered via USB to an 13 years old Thinkpad 2487 running on linux.

Entangle is a super-software for this purpose.

#wargames #Wargaming My Year 9 class has been nagging me for a replay of the grudge match between the two very competitive factions of the class. As the year draws to a close, and as the assessment is being wound up, rather than bunging on videos I thought I’d put on a big game. We had generals issuing orders blind, runners relaying orders, & company commanders making tactical decisions. I have a very enthusiastic core group of a dozen kids playing the rest were bemused bystanders. #Tabletop

Are there any roll-and-flip games? Roll dice to flip stuff.

Maybe there could even be a roll-and-flip-and-roll game.

Communal dice mean you get to flip some action tiles in a personal area. And then the action tiles let you roll more dice to attack, or grow plants, or something. I dunno.

It's a vague idea.

I have spent the last three years developing and designing a table-top roleplaying game. It takes heavy influence from George Orwell's (yeah, he is a bit of a douchebag) book 1984. It is a game about resistance against hegemonic repression and oppression. It is a game about the necessity of resistance even when it seems futile. It is, to me, a game that expresses some kind of hopeful message.

I am a one-person project in general, but for this specific game, I have had a friend be my editor. I am also someone who has been involved in anarchist organizing since the early 2000s and this has influenced my design.

In many ways the game is autobiographical and I have incorporated the feelings of loss and failure that it is easy to get when fighting against the hydra of state and capital today. At the end of the day, the game is a dystopian portrayal of the world but it is still at its core an anti-authoritarian game. I think many of you will find it interesting and engaging. And from the many playtests I also believe that you will have a meaningful and good time playing the game.

The game is called Oceania 2084. And, you can find it here, for free: https://jocher-symbolic-systems.itch.io/oceania-2084

Until all are free

Do you prefer to have some idea of how a campaign/legacy game will evolve? A clear picture? Or none at all?

Do you like to be told about possible strategies? Or learn all of that for yourself?

I 'd like to announce that I signed my 5th contract for a game today!

^_^

If you enjoyed "A game about cute comical creatures and trying to identify them after someone makes noises." it should be coming under a new form from Clarendon games by the end of the year.

"A game about wee whimsical creatures and trying to identify them after someone makes noises." is the better-known edition, but I feel like the 'cute comical' version was the best entry-point.

Further info I can give:

There was a lot of messiness around the signing of the contract but I'm excited to see the new printing of the game! Should be coming to me next week, just in time for me to decide which edition I'll take to Thailand! 😛

I think there is no new content (other than the cover art/box)

I do have the rights to keep printing up to 200 copies of the AGA--CATTITASMN games in future per year. So I can keep making stuff and release a few copies to fans, without worrying about ONLY making noisy creatures that are mass-market-suitable. These will probably be sold via KS/UKGE/my online shop.

Previous contracts were for :
Yogi (still available from Gigamic after 7 years)
Seize the Power (ITB folded before it was released)
CreAAAAH-tures! (Cosmoduck folded soon after release)
Last Bug Standing in the Circle of Doom (released by Surprised Stare Games at Spiel 2023)
RoaRRR! (let's see what happens!)

So the tension mechanic is the heart of the system. In general, it's a GM meta point pool, while also being a difficulty check.

So, as 1s are rolled and tension generated by players, they know both that they're giving the GM more points to spend on adversary abilities but also tasks against the environment get more difficult.

Made new game sheets, which I tested. Worked well as a tutorial but after 4 games, we decided there was an 'obvious' starting move. But it seems worth keeping as a quick 'intro'.

Made a new deck for []. Tested. Works better. Time to make some bigger changes.

2021 review of the "Magical Kitties Save The Day" RPG, reviewed by @TabletopBellhop: https://tabletopbellhop.com/game-reviews/magical-kitties-save-the-day/

"Overall there’s a ton to love in Magical Kitties Save the Day. This is a fantastic traditional RPG that is not only great for new players and for kids (at least on the player side if not the GM size) but that also features a number of modern RPG sensibilities that integrate very well into the system. If the concept of playing magical cats who work together to solve problems for their humans and help out their neighbourhood sounds fun to you, you really should pick up this game."

- Highlighting the active room
- Tool to split a wall, instead of only being able to edit the last wall
- Undo mechanism. Can be used over multiple session.

Learnings:

* A lot of overhaul and reworking. Turns out using traits for my command structure is really cumbersome. Far easier to implement with an Enum.

Guys, it happened. :drgn_flat_sob:

Despite me being an absolute performance addict beyond reason, I have decided not to write my dice roller entirely in C++, for now. At least not until Godot 4.2 comes out, which brings hot-reloading to GDExtension.

GDScript is slow, and I really hate wasting people's CPU cycles, but prototyping the game logic is just so much quicker because it's right in the editor and changes are applied immediately.

I am also certain that I will be able to convert GDScript to GDExtension C++ fairly easily, because all I do is call engine functions, basically. It's just a matter of translating the syntax.

Last but not least, It would make a nice case study to directly compare the same implementations in GDScript and GDExtension C++.

#illustrations in #boardgames

Most illustration styles could be explored farther imo.

Pointillism. Abstraction. Flat colours with paper textures. Mixing photos with illustration. weird limitations like potato print, or making it all look like it's super-low-polygon-count.

In this world, being different can make folk hate on you. Making your illustration different will result in negative reviews.

But it'll also help you stand out.

And I think that (as long as you aren't doing any harm), being hated isn't an issue. Being ignored will probably lead to fewer sales.

Actually, one thing I will say is that folk who are super-into something probably have a higher desire for novelty. So whilst I'd love to see the potato print game, you might be mainly appealing to folk who are bored of 'standard' illustrations at that point.

I present to you:
Drowned in the Loch

A #tabletop #roleplaying #one-shot about #mystery, #ecology and monsters set in #Scotland at the end of the 19th century...

It's rules-free and can be played in a few hours with a small number of players, which makes it perfect for a game night! (For #Halloween 👀)

And it's also a #zine! It features the story, locations, characters, clues and resolution. It is inspired by the korean monster movie The Host but also a real legend...

Anyone I know actually keep or have access to a full set of White Dwarf magazines? I'd really like a scan (for research use!) of the ending article with the results from the Nemesis Crown campaign in 2007, and that's apparently not an easy thing to find PDFs of online.

Boosts very appreciated!

#Cyberpunk2077 #phantomliberty is for sure the best dlc that I touched since FROMSOFTWARE released dls for #DarkSouls3 - for sure better story than in original game, Idris Elba is just great and gameplay is awesome. I love #cyberpunk since I played #ttrpg #tabletop #cyberpunk2020 and yeah, cool times. Also #netflix #Edgerunners had great story.

The game box, standing upright with a grid of cards around it. The bottom row of cards are all items like battleaxe and quiver; the top row are all "special" cards like UNDO and DRAW; other rows are adjectives like moldy and emerald.

Mini decks are available for each of the 2 playing card decks I’m currently funding on Kickstarter. I love these little creatures, especially the teeny ones. 💚 (links in bio)

My hand, with tattoos on the back, holding a brightly coloured mini playing card between my thumb and middle finger. The king of clubs. It has a happy looking squid sort of creature on it, smiling and holding a cup of coffee.
A tiny playing card held on my outstretched fingers. It is the jack of hearts. The jack is a simple black silhouetted creature with tiny white eyes and antlers. Hearts are spread out behind it.

‘Designer Makenzie De Armas discusses putting a little bit of herself into the game’

#Asteria is “a princess turned paladine”.

‘De Armas herself is autistic, and was able to incorporate a lot of her own experiences into the character.’

Last evening, we played our first game of Habitat, 3rd edition.

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/200853/habitats

Other than my initial confusion over some scoring, the rules are generally quite reasonable and easy to grasp.

Pick a tile, place a tile to attempt to score points based on animal habitat needs. Repeat.

We did like the aspect of using a meeple to select tiles to play rather than just picking from a pile.

Overall, recommended.

#BoardGame #Tabletop

End of game picture with tiles placed and my loss documented. You can see the way meeples are used on a grid to pick a tile (by moving meeple around on each turn according to the rules).

Several decks of playing cards on a table, all in my artwork styles of simple silhouetted creatures. Some are black white and red, others are less traditional and more cartoony.
The front of a Queen of Hearts featuring a swirly organic illustration & silhouetted creature with a crown
A deck of cards showing a pink, happy, round little smiling creature blowing bubbles. The deck is normal size, there’s also mini cards. Shows the ace of hearts too which is pink and flowery.
The black and white backs of playing cards in a style that’s very traditional until you look close and see there are little horned and tentacled creatures in there.
