I'm having a hard time to be present in social media, but I want to share something here πŸ₯° I'm designing a game with two friends and yesterday we had our first public playtest β€οΈπŸ©·πŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ©΅πŸ’œπŸ€Ž

Two weeks to go, plenty of time to get the last two stretch goals!

There’s something really wild about game design: while you’re trying to tweak the rules to fit the experience you want to simulate, the design process itself reveals important aspects you hadn’t even considered at the start of the project.

It’s as if the very act of designing the game teaches me a great deal about what’s actually important within it. Does that make sense? Designing Quimera TTRPG has been an amazing journey haha

Crisis are battles but it can basically be anything, like persuading an important NPC, saving a village from wildfire, Run from an Automata, you can create your crisis as you see fit. Here is how a crisis works:

But sometimes, most challenging tasks will need a magical touch, and you can cast a spell! And the way magic works here is a creativity exercise <3 I love it so much.

Adding to those, we have the Crisis, and if you like JRPGs in general, I think you will love this! Like in most JRPGs (videogames), when you are exploring a map and suddenly the action music starts, and the view changes to show your party and the boss? pretty much like it.

The game will mostly work on Skill checks and Casting Spells. Skill checks works like most games, when you need to make something challenging, the conductor will ask for a check.

Brazilian elections finally ended and e kicked Bolsonaro's ass and protect our democracy. Finally I have some headspace to post about other stuff! So, I'm going to post about Rangers of a Broken World this week As rangers, here in brazil we are literally on an Age of Hope and Song <3

Secret easter egg: In Rangers of a Broken World, if you flip the pages fast enough, you'll "scroll" across the lands of Amylte. See it in action for yourself. Instantly get the Prototype PDF (full rules, limited art but includes the page borders) when you back: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

As I was gawking at the preview PDF, I realized that the page ornaments are a flipbook style animation of moving through a landscape. One of the most clever layout touches I've ever seen. Turn off scrolling in your PDF reader to appreciate. Amaze.

I was listening to a podcast lately with a Clown and a Dragqueen talking abou inprov and how it helps with anxiety, as you have to learn to let go of ideas that cant work anymore and change plans in the moment etc, and I was thinking all the time: "Have you all heard about TTRPGs?" hahahaha
