#FailureIsAnOption
“Failure is not an option.”
Great in crisis. Misleading in life.

Most growth happens because we fail…then learn, adapt, and try again.

Maybe it’s time to rethink failure.

Tuesday Tabletop Tips:

Use "failing forward" for skill checks
Progress made even on failure

Our game: rogue broke lockpick trying to open door. Piece of it fell next to the locking mechanism - a passive Perception noticed it.

Do you let your players fail forward?

@jackalshorns.bsky.social takes us back to 2007 #gameuxr and #gameux work on Catan for XBLA.

From the U. Baltimore usability lab, Brian Reynolds and Jason co-designed the trade screen (and many other core mechanics & FTUE).

Much spicy Indian food was consumed.

Can we #FixItInUI? Two trade screens Brian Reynolds and I user-tested on Catan: XBLA.

Goal: Reduce confusion between GIVE vs. RECEIVE.

Left: "Animated Neck Tie" (marquis effect)
Right: "Asymmetrical Arrow"

Which one worked best? Check the thread.

Hint: Kobayashi Maru.

By the way, I loved the Space-X launch on Saturday of Starship and our whole family watched the launch. To see 'Hot Staging' live on TV was great. What a great promising advance. #Failureisanoption
