Lari Assmuth @lariassmuth.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Hey, this is so great! Really happy I could serve as some kind of inspiration with Wickies, especially since that game owes so much to Chris Bissette and Matt Sanders especially. Will for sure be checking out Pure Evil, it sounds amazing! 120

Lari Assmuth @lariassmuth.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Way I’d come at it, maybe, is make the Cook/Fire move one of those ”on a 10+ all four, on a 7–9 choose two” type moves. And a pick list like, say: - you cook the dish quickly - the taste is exceptional - the plating is impressive - you don’t break, cut or use up anything you weren’t supposed to 120

Lari Assmuth @lariassmuth.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Yeah ok, this is actually really interesting. I've been thinking for a while about the potential of digital distribution, print-and-play as a way to circumvent the shitshow of global shipping. But this opens up a whole new way of solving those problems. 030

Lari Assmuth @lariassmuth.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Yeah this is a really important part of my process as well. Trying to identify the story beats, the obstacles the characters have to deal with and how they actually do it (and what results those actions lead to). 010

Lari Assmuth @lariassmuth.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I had some sudden design insights and solved a couple of vexing problems in two separate games I’m working on.

Lari Assmuth @lariassmuth.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Like so many times, the solution to a piece of design not working the way I want it to is to strip it out, to simplify it and/or to raise the level of abstraction a bit. 230
Lari Assmuth @lariassmuth.bsky.social · 26/07/2026I was breaking my brain every time I started thinking about all the middle ground positions, and how to use maneuvers to shift them. Simplifying to unengaged/head-on/tailing feels like it solves a ton of issues. 120

![That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.
I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.
That’s great advice for life.
It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yvbszlkc7d75ixkid5g2zmw7/bafkreiar4z6n6pfk7wob2gznv6l6euw7ltxbetgto5drfd4wqzjalldp5m)
