Working on Wyrdland

I have been working on my submission to the Open Gaming Jam for a while. It is shaping up nicely, though, as always lots to do. This evening I have the opportunity to run the playtest to see if the mechanics work at the table.

It is a fantasy game where I mash together some of my favourite things from various TTRPGs. It started as a hack for my WARDENS game that uses the 24XX rules. You can still see it in parts, but this game is vastly different. 

The hardest part for me in any game is writing the GM section, as I am constantly stuck on that. Will have to consider what I want to include. Action Based Monster design is a big one  I want to tinker with. And I sadly have that not done for today's test. The current draft can be found here if anyone wants to look at what I have so far.

Hey Christian, huge fan of your work! There isn't more then what's in the document right now. I am not a setting writer, so I want to make the setting through the mechanics, archetypes, magic and some random spark tables to populate the world.

d12Core Update

Hello Friends, I apologize for my absence due to mental health challenges, but I'm now recovering and have exciting news. The podcast " Dice So Nice I Said Dice Twice " recently playtested d12Core, which has been incredibly rewarding and inspiring. I'm grateful to Jack, Toby, and Carlyle for their efforts. This unexpected spotlight has revitalized my dedication to the project. I'm working on a comprehensive update and invite you to follow the process on my Discord server. Some changes from the upcoming update (so far) include: Comprehensive revision for clarity More examples to explain game procedures Terminology refinement: "Resolve" becomes "Adrenaline," "Chance Dice" becomes "Flux Dice" Mechanical adjustments: Difficulties changed to 8/10/12, Surges trigger at 2 over TN, and doubled Grit recovery rates.  I'm excited about the progress and look forward to sharing more updates soon. Your continued interest and...

The joy of old files or sometimes hoarding is good.

 After deciding to finally tackle the Savage Space update, I went looking for the files. I wrote it over 10 years ago. At first, I could not find any and started to worry I would have to pull everything out of PDF. But clutter old me found the old external HDD with the word docs on it. What a relief! Off into the cloud they go. Now on to actually working through them. Since I was surprisingly smart enough to save them as separate chapters instead of the single word document they where done in initially, I can go through chapter by chapter. I may do some live streams of this. Would that be interesting?
