SOLARCRAWL: Fifth planet out from the sun is Scintil, a bast world tree of green canopy that shrouds a steaming, thriving jungle with a freshwater lake glinting at its heart.

Lots of climbing for the Astronauts who land here.

This game is so good. With two players, it's a tense political duel with both players trading blows back and fort. With the full 5 players, it's a riot of shifting alliances and surprise schemes.

I haven't fully published a game in a few years, and in that time my design philosophy has shifted
Once the game is fully underway, you'll take turns setting scenes and preparing plans. Each of the game's twelve plans resolves after a number of turns, so other players have a chance to use their scenes to prepare for the war you're starting, rumor you're spreading, or party you're hosting

Could you play The Wretched without a stacking block tower?

Perhaps. But all other methods would “lack something that a wobbling tower of bricks creates.”

What is a probabilistically equivalent mechanism?
Exploring how the choice of cards, dice, tokens, coins and how the player physically interacts with can support (or break) the theme of a tabletop game. There's more to it than equivalent probability.

I find procedurally generated worlds/dungeons boring after a while.

It's one thing if a human uses one as a base and adds on top of it, but straight out of the box, they lack the narrative and exploration rewards I crave.

I love hearing people’s Vagabond campaign stories, but there’s something so charming about the solo diaries. The fact that solo mode really clicked with people has been so rewarding
Finally tried Vagabond RPG (solo).

Grubley, the goblin fighter, accepted a job to remove a problematic ogre from the local brewery's sub-basement.
