This has been a project I've been poking at away at for years now, and I'm finally doing the big push to get it published.

I was really excited, when it came out and again recently, to play #pathofexile2 but so many builds feel so underpowered. Is this a thing or do I just suck? Or, more constructively, is there any general build advice people can give me?

Hey y'all, now that the game is made and printed and available, what do I do?
I feel like every iota of creative juice has gone towards getting this out the door, and now that its done, do I dust off my hands and look for something new or start looking for ways to extend / expand it?

Thankyou Melbourne for a fantastic #PAXAUS I am speechless at the response that Autostede received, and can't wait until next time! For now though, I need to lay down for a bit...

Has anyone had any experience with resolving issues in Meta Business? I had my ad account hacked several years ago, managed to recover it, secure it and am still trying to re-gain the ability to post ads on fb/insta. looking now, my support ticket is two years old with no resolution

For quite a while now I have discussed at the table that Autostede is based on a game that was inspired by Destiny, which is why some parts are explicitly video gamey, and I have always gotten a good reaction, but for some reason I stopped calling it a game that was Illuminated by LUMEN 1/?

I never understood why mecha appealed to me so much as a genre until my psychologist explained that the mind-body connection breaking down is not an experience that neurotypicals generally go through.

If you are interested in the messy space between TTRPGs and board games, you should be following @adambell.games. He's doing really fascinating work. Can't wait to get my copy of Uneasy Lies the Head.
I've covered his games twice on SCM.

To All Artists:
Repost that art. Milk that piece more, it took a lot to draw. Post close up shots, color edits, speedpaintings, the background lore. Be annoying about it.
It took too much effort!

It’s time to start filling up my dance card again with TTRPG shenanigans!
If you’re looking for a guest to join your actual play cast, or someone to wax lyrical about storytelling, AP production of TTRPG fan community building, I’d love to have a chat!

This is something I really honed in on in Neon Badlands. I had previously solidified the drop table as an effective mechanic but adding the social and selfish tags to dice results allowed players to gesture at their board and extrapolate some wild roleplay
it also featured something ive been really interested in exploring and playing more, which is very specific board-gamey mechanics that imply stuff in the fiction but don't need to spell it out directly. Trusting the players to interpret the cube sliding or card playing or whatever else is just fun

I have been enlightened to a group that I had not considered in my initial marketing forays for my game Autostede: Neon Badlands. Hey #warhammer40k fans, is this something you'd be into?

*sigh* I saw a post somewhere saying how important it actually is to publish your TTRPG on drivethruRPG, just because a certain percentage of players only go there, and don't go to itch at all.
So I set up a publisher account and uploaded the game.

I never thought I could get so rusty at my own game. I've spent the last few months honing, refining, finishing and laying out the book, and now that I'm running it at a local con I find myself double checking the book for every other ruling...

Do you ever solve a fairly common problem all by yourself and feel like an absolute god? That's me. I did that. My game jam game has an online leaderboard

oh my god..... I think it's done..... I mean it's not DONE done but I'm pretty sure there is nothing more that I can actually do to the core book. Now there's art for the artist to add and I'll send it to the editor for final confirmation that I didn't screw anything up.... AUTOSTEDE IS DONE

One thing I can't say enough is how awesome it is to find a music style that matches with your creative project. Being able to key in that vibe so specifically and easily is INCREDIBLE
