Since everyone else is musing about their #GDC I will chime in. I'm what I would call industry adjacent, I am a Game Dev Teacher, so my goals are pretty different. I got to lead a pair of Roundtables for k12/youth teachers which was a major goal for me.

Exhausted and happy teacher in front of the sign for his GDC talk.

#GDC is here! It still doesn't feel real that after years of trying, I finally got a k12 and Youth Ed focused session on the program. For a long time I have tried to time up my colleagues, furiously badge-checking, hours in the networking app.

Session description for the first k12 education focused session at GDC.

Well, the #gdc proposals are as done as I have bandwidth to do before football season kicks off. #udl in Game Dev Education and a #k12 Game Dev Education Roundtable, which has been sorely needed for years.

Proposals for two GDC sessions:
One titled "Universal Design for Learning in Game Development"
Another titled "K12 and Youth Game Dev Education Roundtable"

Had an amazing test session with the crew for my new #ttrpg Twenty Flights. The crew of Gnomes successfully bombed the target, but never got back home as flak ripped through the bomber. We mourned over some #bbq pork ribs, as is customary. No better way to cap off a long test session.

#WIPwednesday. I am almost ready to release the ashcan for my new #ttrpg project Twenty Flights, a Game about dieselpunk bombing missions and the broken gnomes that volunteer to fly them. But I am really working on a proposal for a GDC talk about instructional design for Game Dev Classes.

At GDC this year, I heard about this new experimental game development idea. You talk about your game before you release it. Even before you are done with it. Crazy I know, but I love a good experiment. So here is the a cover for my new #ttrpg project for #WIPwednesday.

A cover for my new tabletop roleplaying game Twenty Flights.

Under the title is the tagline "A game about dangerous bombing missions in a post-fantasy dieselpunk war and the broken gnomes that volunteer to fly them."

Under that is a black and white picture of a bomber dropping a bomb.

#wipwednesday The favor system in my TTRPG BARGE, which is how Divine magic works. Still a lot of tweaking to get done. But it is really starting to evoke the vibe I want for a mortal dealing with the divine. barge-games.itch.io/barge-quicks... #ttrpgsky

An overview of the favor mechanic in the TTRPG BARGE:

Favor
Favor drives everything the Chosen does and favor powers the Chosen physically and spiritually. When they have the favor
of their patron, they are capable of feats and miracles beyond their own abilities and limitations. However when they do not
have their patron’s favor, they are helpless.
As a result, Chosen are always walking a fine line utilizing the power given to them without angering their patron, or
exceeding the limits of their favor.
Instead of a dice pool, you have favor. Your favor maximum is equal to 10 + your level. Your Favor resets to zero whenever
you roll initiative.
At any time during a round, a Chosen can roll a dice from its dice pool. When they do so, they immediately add the result to
their favor.
If your total favor for the round exceeds your maximum favor, you destroy all dice in your dice pool and you may not roll any
dice in your dice pool until the start of the next round.
If your total favor for the round is exactly equal to your maximum favor, you now have priority (Whatever creature previously
had priority, still has priority and may take actions, but your actions go first). Your favor for the round is reset to 0 and you
may roll more dice and build up more favor.
Divine Miracles
Chosen do not cast spells, they do not utilize magic, in fact, they do very little when it comes to invoking miracles. They ask
their patron or deity for the miracle, beseeching them for their favor. If their patron looks on them favorably, the miracle
happens.
What this process looks like and how it manifests varies greatly between Chosen as it is often an intensely personal process
for the Chosen and their Patron.
For example Chosen could invoke miracles by:
● Utilizing a symbol or relic of their favor
● Ritual Chanting, singing or dancing
● Carving or Inscribing Runes
● Recitation of Psalms or Litanies
● Open petitioning of the Patron or Deity

Gladius was so much deeper of a game than it appeared to be, combining twitch mechanics with a tactical RPG, linear story, but an incredible amount of hidden side content and an amazing variety of usable gladiators for it's time.
