Voice memos?

Always carry a little notebook? But also accept that your vague sketchy thoughts often seem better than they are once you look at them more closely?

At least I often find that the „great idea“ I had doesn‘t lead anywhere useful…

I recently got to see the reliquary box they used to display Thomas Aquinas skull and I can't stop thinking about an undead version of him with it as his helmet...

The box the Jacobins of Toulouse kept his skull in

While writing CASTLE AUTOMATIC for WORM, I've put my approach to dungeon keying to the test.

NPCs are described last in the room's description but first in the details. This is because players *jump* at NPCs and tune out other descriptions. First, set the scene, then say who's in it.

420 - Cathedral Gate Guardians
A colossal door frame inscribed with Vetus text leading to a sanctuary. Two giant nuns flank the doors, their habits surrounding empty voids where their faces should be. Inside, a cathedral lit by flickering candles and filled with the scent of incense.
Giant nuns: Two massive statues stand as Gate Guardians to XX - Outer Sanctuary (p. XX). One nun holds a giant, empty bell, one holds the bell's clapper like a giant mace. They cannot speak, but forbid entry to any not carrying a sacred candle.
> Trying to pass through the door without having either a sacred candle from the Page of Cups or an active heavenfire spell causes the two gate guardians to attack.
Vetus text: "Let the sacred light shine to light the way."

Two nun statues, one holding a giant bell and one a giant clapper, flank a door while adventurers climb up giant-sized steps

There are a few games we really want to play this year that need to be purchased, so we've put together a bundle of our spooky, haunted, and weird games to help cover the costs!

Any funds we raise over our goal will be donated to Fund Texas Choice during the stream!

Well, my brain ran away with a problem and I managed to build a little feature before breakfast, so...

Martin 🏷 Wishlist Crownbreakers plz @sharkbombs.bsky.social · 4d

At least it's quiet and no one emails me :D

Martin 🏷 Wishlist Crownbreakers plz @sharkbombs.bsky.social · 4d

It's Saturday and I don't have big plans, so probably. At least I used the last hour to do some work. Before 7 AM.

Martin 🏷 Wishlist Crownbreakers plz @sharkbombs.bsky.social · 4d

Appreciated!

This has been happening more in the last few months than in the last few decades…

Martin 🏷 Wishlist Crownbreakers plz @sharkbombs.bsky.social · 4d

Up since 4 AM. I guess no more sleep for me tonight

Yeah, I peeked into the replies and it looked to be the most asinine internet drama because people are idiots/callous/filled-with-the-compulsion-to-be-ironically-cool. That about it?

I don't get it.

Today was our monthly SHOW and TELL at the Kokolores where the local #gamedev folks meet to talk about their progress and struggles. Here's a look at my contribution.

A lot of Crownbreakers and Ex Novo. A lot of time spent on docs and tables, which often don't feel like progress to me...
