Interviewer: Can you explain this gap in your resume? Indie Gamer: Oh the designer left that empty so I could fill it in later. Interviewer: The designer... Indie Gamer: It's important I feel ownership during this one shot. Might just ghost the table though, not feeling much agency.

a universal feature of the game designer working on a long project is that their next game wells up inside of them until it is physically painful

Study of Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind that I don't think I ever posted #pixelart

A scene from the Ghibli movie Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, rendered in pixel art. In the background, a large Ohm shell sits in a dark lake illuminated by a few beams of light. In the foreground, two heavily cloaked travelers sit astride large birds surrounded by various alien and fungal foliage.

in my mind , Triglav is for Draw Steel what MCDM was to DnD 5e . that is to say , a small publisher making incredibly high quality products with ample testing and amazing art no matter how long each project takes . Boggits , i think , is an awesome stepping stone on that journey ! and it’s cool !!!

2.34% of all Americans are trans, according to US government census data. This number absolutely POLEAXES me, and from what I can see in the source data, the number is completely and totally legitimate and based on a colossal datapool of almost 2.5 MILLION respondents. Let's dig in.

That’s wild. My FLGS (Zulu’s Board Game Cafe) always does MSRP and I think they had them priced at $50 max. Downside is that they put pretty heavy pack limits on everything, but it made the collector packs last the weekend!

Big progress on the Breathless game! The rules text is basically finished. Unfortunately now I have to do the hard part of writing a custom scripture used for the abilities, so that may take a while.

Finally, I'm working on a roguelike-ish dungeon crawler based on the Breathless system to explore my complicated relationship with evangelical Christianity. Imagine Pilgrim's Progress, but kind of in the opposite direction. That one is slow progress, as it's pretty personal.

I'm also working on Against the Steel Immortal, a level 4-7 adventure for Draw Steel that explores a dead synlirii city and those who call it home. The players will discover the meddlings of a mysterious organization of robot constructs that threaten the city, its inhabitants, and perhaps the world.

It's been a little bit since I shared what I've been working on! First of all, I'm working on a Mothership module based on Scavengers Reign, my favorite sci-fi piece of media from the last few years. It draw from Exquisite Biome and uses a tarot deck as an encounter map.

A text post, which reads:

A freighter from TRAPPIST-1e has vanished en route to Titan, and the Admin of Gysolki Trans-Union has dispatched a small crew to investigate in an AIV (Automated Interstellar Vessel). Most recent findings list the freighter, serial number 89445301 “Rabbit’s Burrow” was last recorded in systems failure while in a descending orbit around an uncatalogued exoplanet called Corona CY-08.

The AIV will land on Corona CY-08, the crew will determine the fate of the Rabbit’s Burrow, and through on-the-ground documentation, audit the possibility of retrieval.

Contrary to estimates, the AIV will suffer systems failure upon descent. Most of the crew will not survive. You are what remains.

Ran Pokemon Tabletop United for Indies Club tonight. It's probably the crunchiest, most simulationist, most unnecessarily verbose game I've ever seen, and we had a great time. I'm very likely to convert the entire system to Draw Steel when I have the time.
