Hey! I used to be bleongambetta on Twitter!
You may know me from my telenovela #ttrpg Pasión de las Pasiones or the podcasts Stop, Hack & Roll and Protean City Comics!
I've had to step back from the social media and ttrpg spaces, but when I'm occasionally checking, it's here!

A couple of weeks ago I almost hyped that the playable version of Pommel Ball would be available on Nebraska's first football game of the season.
Glad I didn't because that's tomorrow and I'm not even close.

You know those cutouts that you use to measure range in wargames?
I'm pretty sure I've come up with one for turning that has reignited Deadly Kobold Racing.

I've been exploring Homebrew video games (modern indie games for existing consoles) and there's SO much cool stuff going on. I wish a bit that I were better at video content so that I could share some of the awesome stuff going on.

Okay. Tonight is Pommel Ball Kits, possibly default teams too.
Then the dreaded play materials layout.
I'm considering just hand drawing the character sheets and scanning them.

One thing I'm pretty pumped about in Pommel Ball is Formations which are basically ritual-stype spells that cast by getting your team into a specific shape on the field. That's thrown off by how much pushing and movement is inherent to the game.

Getting the rules for Pommel Ball written down, we've got the four Core positions
🏈 Ranger
🛡️ Guard
🎽 Flanker
🗡️ Skirmisher
www.notion.so/bleongambett...
Those four form the basics with kits (weapon choice or magic ability) rounding out basic players

Instead of using little serotonin boosts from likes to power fake Internet points, power a piece of design you need a bunch of little morsels of (AND WRITE THEM DOWN IN YOUR ACTUAL DRAFT)
One like = 1 hex or playbook move or magic item or player ability or NPC or location.

I've seen like 5 posts from people I don't know saying Draw Steel has the 4e vibes that all the 4e sickos crave. Is this true? Can I get a verification from one of my favorite 4e sickos?

Barkeep on the Borderlands is one of my favorite books to leaf through. Highly recommend!
If you’re at GenCon and want to pick up the Ennie-nominated Prismatic Wisdom or (not an exaggeration) one of the last 10
available copies of Barkeep in the Borderlands’s first printing, walk around the exhibit hall until you see a shirtless @plusoneexp.bsky.social

I'm trying really hard to picture Joel McHale behind me snapping "simplify" while I write the Pommel Ball Print and Play Quick Start, but then I don't get to make things super gamey.

I keep thinking "if only there was a way to have a portable device bigger than a phone with a legitimate keyboard that I can run design software on" and looking up old kindle fire based solutions before realizing I'm describing a laptop.
