For #wipwednesday here is

a one page NPC generator 🙇

I've been using this system and shaping it for about 6 months. It works well, but there can be more. I also run it with a chart of names based on race and some regional tables random occupation and factions.

Always adding to my Gaslands playlist!

But if you want a quick start to a Merger playlist may I suggest the Office Politics album by The Divine Comedy

Is there one of our games you’d particularly want to see a playlist for? I can look at setting one up and then sharing it

There is little more pleasing in this life than making a themed playlist for board game night

Even if you have a "bad" playtest that's ok, it's still progress towards the goal of the best game you can make

How many random tables can I make? Too many to fit in a book? Possibly, maybe, most definitely...

Apologies to the formatter

Attacks that deal damage to more than just health are more horrifying. Losing a stat or experience, and aging the character feels more "personal" than then abstract of hit points.

In this game design blog we talk about designing for interesting decisions and strategic depth when your game is feeling flat.

We also experiment with a new tool that could improve your playtesting process.
