Playtested my new game this week. It was an awesome success. It needs some refinement and definitely some GM instructions to help new GMs facilitate play, but altogether when players want to play more you know you've hit gold!

So, a personal mission I want to write for Baroque and Palaces deals with Inquisition agents coming for David Hume when he was finishing his book in Paris (1734). In historical game design Is this a step too far?

Hmmmm.

Probably the silliest free promotional I’ve ever done, but everyone finds some nostalgic joy in temporary tattoos! I hope everyone finds some joy today! #ttrpg #ttrpgs

Things you'd learn if you read Baroque n' Palaces:

Venice was home to the buying of musical compositions and printing music, and composers would travel to sign deals; their compositions then performed on stages across Europe.

This was the proto-concept of a record label! Lean history thru gaming!

Yup.

Three years ago today I was playtesting at #gencon - this year it was nominated for an Indie Groubdbreaker Award for this setting.

Get out there and make your game!

It's making the circles on other social media, but you ought to know this is a food truck at Gen Con (they came to light for using AI in their ads and writing). Follow your conscious on this kinda thing.

Four years ago, the world got its first glimpse into the earliest version of Gutterpunk. This year it was nominated for a Indie Groundbreaker.

Always remember: Good games may take time to create! Work at your pace!
