I watched a video on doors in video games with Bryan Singh of Naughty Dog who made the doors in The Last Of Us Part II. As soon as they showed the first footage of Ellie opening a door, I knew why they picked that game: She actually grabs the door handle and actually opens the door, which then also moves very naturally. It's a very quick animation, but it looks (and probably feels) SO good. They also showed a couple variations like slamming a door open. Fucking amazing and very rare.

#ttrpg #gameDesign idea:

A community-based #OSR / #NSR game where the main means of progress is unlocking the new character options for newly-rolled characters.

New tables?

A table where you start d4 -> d8 -> d12 -> d20?

Your old characters don't need to die, they stay "at the base" contributing to plot and mechanics with bonuses and "downtime events", which also scale with the community growth.

Would people care about them?

Has anyone done this before?

Would this be playable?

YAARRGH! Who Gave the Pirates Tools?!

All setup and ready to playtest Just in Time the cooperative abstract on time travel.

This was the first test since latest change to rewinding time and the mechanic played great! Unfortunately we did not plan it out particularly well and ran out of cards near the end of the first round

Level design on Friday. I don't want to fall from a height and spoil the view with a fence - the solution is holographic that are displayed over a distance. I once saw this in the game Observer. I created a material and a primitive object in Unreal Engine modeling mode

Deep in revision mode on [REDACTED] this morning, combing through notes from the last two playtests and player feedback. Sharpening mechanics, tightening lore, gearing up for the final round of playtesting later this year. #GameDesign #TTRPG #WorldBuilding #OuroborosSystem

Cancelled Damian Wayne Game Concept Art #2 (Project Sabbath, 2015)

I've written a system to replace ability scores directly with modifiers in #13thAge #ttrpg
This greatly expands the stat arrays available at level 1 and provides innovative advancement schedules at higher levels for further flexibility.
