Let me ride you, dumb lizard~ #2

Game programming is really hard because some bugs are incredibly subtle and easy to miss

Let me ride you, dumb lizard~

Spontaneously ended up doing one of my favorite kinds of project over the last two days -- a Plot Deck.

Basically, the way it works is that each player gets two cards at the start of the session.

On each card, there's an iconic plot element from the setting or genre, like "Frenzied Chase," "Dead Drop," or "Mistaken Identity."

You can play a card any time to insert its twist. If you do it to the PCs' advantage, you draw 1 replacement. If it's a complication, you draw 2.

Hey, here's a bit of advice for #ttrpg publishing. It's 2023. Folks are gonna google your game to find it. Search your title ideas before you name it. If you search "Dying Under Glass Skies", you see my game. I almost named it "Nano Shock" but I spotted this car wax in a shop.

de- can mean to undo
-cide means termination
therefore, decide means necromancy

Just finished up a one shot of One-Shot World, by Yochai Gal. It's a simplified, stripped-down version of Dungeon World.

I always found #DungeonWorld a little too complex for my purposes, so it's nice to have a lighter option.

I ran the adventure Snail Fancy, from Feral Indie. It's a fun little heist adventure in a snail fanciers' lodge headquarters. Highly recommended.

My headcanon for Star Trek is now that the computer is a distant descendant of the new #Bing / #ChatGPT. It explains the technobabble *and* why the crews always get into so much trouble all the time.

“Computer, plot a course to the nearest Starbase.”
_Course plotted._
“Wait. That takes us through a black hole!”
_You are mistaken. There is no black hole. You are a bad Starfleet person. I am a good computer._
