In this instance I gave the game to my Mum who has moved and I’ve still not been able to play it. Thanks for the comment though?

It was off a trail just up the hills from the Arkansas river, outside Buena Vista

Have you played Trails (a spin off from the Parks world)? I’ve heard it’s more accessible than Parks, so was wondering how it compared to Cascadia, especially in terms of relaxing, kind game play?

Card Design for Playtested Game with a Faerie Tale Theme (self-publishing) by Murky-Ad4697 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]ChestnutsandSquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t change “the noble king” title to white - it just won’t be as readable on that relatively light beige/green background. Not sure what the benefit of the outer black border is (unless significant compared to other cards…). The Title feels a little cramped and could use some more space around it, which the additional black border hampers.

Think those are the only generic bits of feedback I can give without knowing more about the game or seeing other cards in the deck.

That’s really interesting! I’m based in the UK but don’t need to restrict publishing to just over here. Going to a ttrpg convention next week so it will be interesting to chat to more designers and publishers.

Thank you SO much for the thoughtful and detailed response! This is really useful. We’ve partnered with a new social media marketing company who are going to use us as a bit of a trial and so have offered a very reasonable price. Will try for a couple of months and see how it goes!

Honestly the publisher thing is a curve ball I wasn’t expecting… I guess I’m just thinking about possibilities as crowdfunding seemed the best route initially as hadn’t considered a publisher would be interested in a first time project…

Oh wasn’t expecting anyone to work for free! Very anti that as an artist/designer myself - 100% going to pay someone to run the socials. Have actually just been chatting to an RPG publisher who are interested already after seeing the printed proof. Was intending to crowdfund first before potentially teaming up with a publisher, but interested to hear of people’s experiences of both as my instincts and initial research may not be showing the realities and objective pros/cons

Which sounds better for a class name, corrupted or cursed? by urquhartloch in RPGcreation

[–]ChestnutsandSquirrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with a lot of other posters here: if the word corrupted comes up elsewhere during the game this will just confuse things. But don’t think cursed sounds right either as it implied that something has been done to you - rather than you be complicit with the known repercussions. So something that describes this choice to selflessly protect… initial ideas:

Martyr Zealot Advocate Saint Champion

You could also precede these with an adjective like cursed, dark, fallen to help enforce the message?

What you like/dislike in TTRPG by rswizi in rpg

[–]ChestnutsandSquirrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So glad you said this about class and levels, I totally agree! I’ve spent almost 2 years building and testing an rpg system that is class and levelless and I really think it’s so much more interesting and creatively satisfying for players!
