You ever have those stretches of time where you are just way too overstimulated? Like, don't touch me, let's keep the number of different sounds to a minimum, and please don't mind me when I just buffer for 5 seconds at a time here and there.

Let me tell you, I’m beyond stoked to finally be releasing IronFrame. I actually came up with the concept for it around a year ago, and this is the first game I’ve put together that’s not part of a jam!
So if you’re interested in a rules light but tactical mech TTRPG, you’re in luck!

I often listen to music while grocery shopping to keep from getting stressed about all the people (open ear, no worries, I'm not lookin' to be oblivious).
It's great, until I start dancing down the isles because a particularly catchy bop comes on. I will not be tethered when the beat comes for me.

In TTRPGs, if you like making huge, detailed character backstories...try a game where you come in with no backstory and let your GM and players give ideas!
If you never do character backstories, come up with a really cool, developed one for your next game!

Why do so many solo games and systems rely on multiple degrees of success ? Why not a simple and strait forward binary result distribution!
A binary approach is simpler, faster, and easier to manage.
I have an idea why and I think it's about both time, and math.

The core mechanic in Boundless is something I’m very proud of, and that’s for a couple of reasons. First, it only uses d6s, which are the most accessible dice out...

On my streamed Steel Soul runs of Silksong, someone messaged me to say "You know you can just quit out if you are about to die, then you'll start back at a bench!"
You go ahead an play Steel Soul however you want! You'll get no shade from me. But, for me, that really defeats the whole purpose.

I always say in vtt videos that there is no "best" vtt, because they all cater to different games and play-styles.
Then I get the comments that are like "UHHH, ____ vtt SUCKS! It doesn't automate dark vision or lighting distances!!! It's basically useless!"

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
