Trying a 2-player duet game as solo. This one has an interesting dice mechanism built into it. Might be the topic of this week’s Skeleton Code Machine.

This style of lore delivery is one of my favorite parts of Souls games. I'm trying to emulate it in The Beginning Dream by providing lore definitions for cards that, in line with what @brianyaksha.bsky.social talks about, procedurally expand on the world to make it feel vast.
I know there are a million tabletop RPGs that draw heavily from dark souls. do any of them do dark souls world and lore design? like the "explore a giant themed area, find specific items in specific places with lore descriptions that have insinuations for the deep lore and boss fight weaknesses"

We already had so much content and a very specific vibe to hit for Mörk Sol, but I love the idea of backer/patron designed game content.
I really want to open up that opportunity when we bring The Beckoning Dream to crowdfunding.

Hope Springs Eternal finally crossed the CA$ 11k mark! We've also started to work with the 5 "frame patrons". Pretty happy with my idea to include this pledge in the KS. Each patron not only gets their name in the book, they also get to design one NPC for their frame! Hoping for some wild ideas!

There is no discourse, only Zuul.
This is a fantastic thread about a "discourse" that is core to my current game design philosophies. Which I'm going to talk about very briefly through the lens of "system matters", not because I disagree with what Rob is saying, but why I have arrived at that as my personal POV in game design.
It's early and this is a truly atrocious cup of coffee, so it seems like a good time to pick a fight with the world.
"System doesn't matter" is a valid, reasonable, and *critically important* argument which has been rendered ragebait and a punchline by pedantry.
