So it was mid. It was okay. It was really clever in places (SINON!) and real silly in others. Beautiful? Yes. But I would like a strong word with whoever mixed that sound 'cause good lord. 2.5/5
Going to see the Odyssey shortly and I bet my Dad regrets asking me about the plot and who Elliot Page is playing 45 minutes down into my summary of the Odyssey and bits of the Aenid/Illiad
MAAAAA am I a real game designer now I've made my own rules??? I'm really proud of this, needed a win after the MONTH I've had
So uhhhhhh as work on Toe Beans progresses, I have also been busy writing my first ever ruleset - Chapters. It's specifically for making romantasy themed solo TTRPG games and I'm looking for anyone who might like to read it and give some feedback?
Also I am an aunt now! My sister gave birth to a baby boy. Both are doing well 🥰
My last few days - indulging in personal art, a day out with my Dad and a day out in the creek with Jayne taking Polaroids and sketching on the creek bed.
Haven't mentioned it here but we are nominated in the Ennies for Fan Award Best Publisher. My part time job caught wind of it and put this up on their socials today. It's very sweet. You won't see me promoting to vote for us because of my recent fuck up - however thank you to those who submitted us!
My sister had her baby yesterday and I'm now officially an aunt. His name is Jude and I'm biased as fuck, of course, but he's perfect 🥹
Are you a normal GM or do you write your players entire 38k novellas for your campaign. I'm more than aware I can be intense and desperately need to get a book out of my system, probably, 'cause this is not the first rodeo of me doing this.
I've written up the player facing side of my Romantasy TTRPG framework/ruleset, Chapters 🥹 Feeling incredibly proud of myself.
Been in my digital sketchbook drawing Daggerheart NPCs today because I am trying to be better in the habit of drawing stuff for meeeee
I was forged in the fires of Riyadh, who are currently experiencing 40 degrees at 8pm at night just to uh, give you an indication
Anyone who knows me knows how much of an absolute daddy's girl I am, but he's also just...my best mate. So much of who I am is because of my Dad. And it was extremely fucking funny having people come over to meet me after being like "I just met your Dad!" Yes. 😂 He is mildly infamous in my group
Logan sent me this 😂 And I've been thoroughly told off for working when I said I wouldnt Oops
I made signs to explain my games at UKGE because saleswomanship is not my forte. Having a 2 player game that can also work as a solo game (by using the other character as the 'Second Voice' plot complicator) was a really fun design challenge to frame the solo version around!
Spent the afternoon playing Fomoria with @loremistress93.bsky.social @thehomebakery.bsky.social and @dorianblackwood.bsky.social. Had an INCREDIBLE time, what a game 🤩
Had to draw two of the gods from my Daggerheart campaign 'cause I love 'em
I am really proud of myself for finally sitting down to make/build my own ruleset. Hopefully it will be good! If it isn't, I'm still really happy I have finally done it. I've loved the process so far 🥹
Some more notebook stuff since people seemed to like the others?? Show me yours!! 🥹 And honestly I think having physical notes is incredibly therapeutic and worth devoting time to
Finishing up layout work for @innocentgoblin.bsky.social and working on my first SRD ruleset Chapters (working title) a story engine framework for making your own Romantasy journaling games. I ripped it to pieces last night in testing, but that's a good thing, I learned a lot.
Urggh I am feeling really down today! Share some goodness from your day/week with me? Or perhaps a cute cat pic? 🥺
Would you like a little look at the visual mess of what happens when I have two cans of Red Bull and an intense craving to make a romantasy TTRPG game? (this is technically three games of mess)
