Phenomenal session of Mothership last night using @skullfungus.bsky.social's Plant-based Paranoia module.
I love the pamphlet format. It feels like the same level of specificity I use in my own prep without any extra details to get in the way.

Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.
Game design is simple, actually
So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.

One thing I love about our game is that all of the rules and narrative text are available for free on a searchable, mobile-friendly wiki to make it as easy as possible to use.
And we just updated it for the new Spire in Bloom expansion!

We just updated The Living Valley, which now includes the Campaign Guide for Spire in Bloom! We also added an Expanded Campaign Tracker to our website resources to help you take your campaign past day 30 for more time in the Valley.
