Another excellently produced #ttrpg review from @itsquinns.bsky.social showcasing Mythic Bastionland, a streamlined myth-chasing ‘hexcrawl’ with sharp rules, no skills, and lots of character. And rules for warbands! Is it Pendragon uber-lite?
NEW QUINNS QUEST REVIEW!

At a time when fantasy RPG releases are competing for attention like crabs in a bucket, Mythic Bastionland by @bastionland.bsky.social upends that bucket and sets us all free. It's simple, it's genius, it's like nothing you've ever played.

The Maya interactive tutorial is great. It's turned learning into a game, using the tools it provides as part of the software. An enjoyable way to learn, @autodeskedu.bsky.social.

I enjoyed watching the quick virtual production demo at Brisbane's Griffith University today. I also enjoyed their game design presentation. I'm feeling inspired to undertake Unreal Engine accreditation.

I'm having fun today working with 3D models in Blender for #Seablight #TTRPG. I learnt how to package a textured 3D model in Blender, import to Unity, and then augment an image using Vuforia. Up next is manipulating bones in Blender for dynamic poses. Animations will be a future 'stage 3' project.

I've made a few one-page TTRPGs, one of which earned an ENNIE nomination. So I wrote a guide to encourage and help others create their own one-page games. Covers everything from generating ideas to publishing online.
