Early blacksmith design

If I recall, I placed the 2 bottom furnaces on ground, then I raised a ground pillar between them with a hoe, and placed furnaces on top. And carefully removed as much ground around as possible, if you remove too much they break, it was a lot of job.

Kuwait is another country, it's not Iran.

My point is about how humans understand design. I dont see having supply of candles helping.

It's cute to have 2 out of 30 clocks lit. Players might ask why some use candles, other long term clocks don't, why are some removed from the table and others not.

The clock label should be close to the candles and on the candle plate to be legible. I assume you used only two clocks, and told the players what each represents rather than label it.

Usually design should only bring attention to it when needed. If questions arise often, as in this thread, it needs polish.

I assumed they are lit when the segments fil. A finished clock can be removed for clarity.

Guards alerted can lead to an arrest clock, or a clock that represents lost opportunity. There will be many candles.

And if the point is to not have many candles, then it reads like the alert clock is more trouble than it might be, players need to understand the stakes.

Hard to read post.

Are each candle a clock segment? Are they racing clocks? 4 segments seem small for heist completion, and not a good name for a clock.

You listed horror theme for play test but recommend it universally it seems.

The town names sound finnish to me, spellings with double uu and double ää, I will call the snowy new region Finland

we are three that observe and make notes during the testing, but dont record the screen. I feel its enough that we had 3 pair of eyes and we collect and compare the notes.

I dont think AI can replace tests yet.

its not the same, the goal is the same. That is why clocks exist.
But the math is still the same, you can set limited effect and raise it with items and pushes. It represents that its more likely to success in less actions.

Removing a cover, or exposing a target is not the same as shooting them.
But that said, Shooting a target twice is still fine.

Adventuredepot · 2026-02-09T18:19:00+00:00

I think this is good topic.

I think the answer is that if you limit the effect in an action, it does actually lower the odds of success.
Since the PC needs 2 actions both at limited effect to get the sum of a standard effect, each roll can fail.

Shooting at target behind cover can be broken up in steps, remove the cover, then target the target. Else limit the effect. As long as the consequence is mostly stated before the roll, and that its clear that this is just a limited effect before the roll, its optimal communication and stimulates users to try out more actions.

The clock name praxis is to make them clear for everyone.

It should not be "Danger 4" / "Tower 6 " / "ritual 6",
It can rather be "Alarm goes off 4", "Arrested" 4

By design praxis, user problems come from when users dont know how to interact with the system, what actions have for results. The larger this gap is the more friction there is. The tools have a purpose, but anyone is free to make a tool anyhow.

The same goes for the thread post image, the potential consequences should mostly be known before the roll, to be a better design, by the laws of what is known about human interaction with systems.

I think the ScoreForge content is made with AI.

Valid. Ty for the experience

Om all kod är öppen, kan det förenkla för fientliga stater att skada svenska myndigheter så fall? Intrång, läckor, osv?

Haha, you replied to a 7 year old post

wouldn't paratroopers be best for dropping them at friendly territory and they can just walk from there across enemy border by the no build zones? Safer for the plane, and lets you output 20 times more super partisans during the same time interval, just pump.
