Day 12:
Great moment from a session recently. One of my players was The Law, and they were in the middle of a big dramatic scene with a fellow player. The Law used their playbook move to establish a rule that everyone in the scene must follow: "No one may leave"
I bookmarked this in my head.

It takes a village to launch a game, and I got a couple friends of mine to write Episodes for Ritual Deck. Early in dev, I tapped my friends Hawk Williams and Lore Arnold to fill out some light sketches of episodes for me, and they turned in things that were soooo cool.

I love to make soundtracks for my writing projects, and Ritual Deck is no different. In fact, I created four playlists for the different moods/phases of a Ritual Deck session so I can soundtrack out the playing of the game!

A story from playtesting: Minerva Meeks, The Law (as played by @henraptor.bsky.social), started our game strong - she's a snivelling hall monitor by day and a near fascist by night.

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

I was never suuuper worried about balance in this game. The fun isn't in how well you can strategize to defeat your opponent; it's in the story.
As mentioned before, since dueling comes down to a single dice roll, and this game is PbtA, Duelists will tend to win more often than not.

I had all these ideas for mechanics, and a broad thought towards the world and story, but the whole tone and atmosphere only began to make sense once I started writing the Episodes -- Here's a little about one of my favorites: Operation C.U.L.T.U.R.E.S.H.O.C.K.

It's time to duel!!!
Dueling in Ritual Deck solves a complex problem in a really free flowing creative way - how do you recreate the frenetic, dramatic, and basically incomprehensible rules of the Duel Monsters card game from Yu-Gi-Oh? Here's how I approached it.

Ritual Deck is launching soon, so I'm starting a thread where I'll share a snippet about the game every day. It could be a design aspect I'm excited about, some piece of inspiration, a story from playtesting, art, or more!!

It's very impressive that the rules are explained within 7 pages, the font seems to be a good size for printing, and it actually solves a few pain points of teaching CfB to Keepers of when does an opportunity get resolved by making use of already established terminology that's within CfB.
