one of my go-to touchpoints is “is it possible for this system to generate the events surrounding and during Fleetwood Mac Rumors tour?”

if not, probably needs more drama hooks

have just realized I have a new one to add to my list, and that’s “can this do The Lion In Winter” (2/2)

I have a theory that when designing a social simulation / generator, it can be useful to keep in mind a story you’d like your system to be able to organically generate. not every system should generate the same story but I have a short list of high-salience interesting stories I reach for. (1/2)

Updated character sheets - Devlog #26 - Bug & Claw

After the iterations from the last post about enemy statblocks it helped catalyze even more updates to the character sheets. I was debating leaving some of the defences and injuries a bit more vague, but I realized the "crunchiness" of attaching numbers would aid the usability. Balancing crunch and usability is one of the big

As a game designer, making sure the player understands their character's current status and potential can be incredibly important to enabling an engaging experience.

How many iterations have your character sheets or other UI and artifacts been through?

A common canard about the civil war is that it was about states rights, or that the union didn't care about slavery and...like all good lies, there is an element of truth there

But only an element - it ignores the fact that the war directly exposed the union troops DIRECTLY too slavery

"I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on" is metal af

Post by user @jamellebouie.net that reads, "from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over"

Nothing made slavery's toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper Sout, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers "learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter." The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the "goodlooking" daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter, "every private in the ranks" cursed "that system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women," according to one member of the regiment. When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, "By G-d I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on."

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

It's National Coming Out Day so I figure I should just come out and admit that not only am I gay and trans, I also like Dynasty Warriors (Musou) games.

My favorite type of game is that which drops you in alien world without explaining anything.
Most famous example is Morrowind.
Kind of sad to see what Elder Scrolls became... Sigh.

An intrepid bunny creeps through a labyrinth or dungeon, arranged in a grid like an old videogame. There is a snake and a skull in the bunny's path, as well as a spike pit. The bunny has a small sword.
