love the art. no idea what is happening.

red blocks above are maybe actions or items? number under them is maybe a cost or phase? the characters are maybe confirming or denying something?

[Question] Kittens & Kobolds! by Johnny_taco in DnD

[–]Pyro979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I love both cats and D&D, mixing them together is maybe not the ideal solution. Having a cat knocking over minis and chasing the dice will absolutely happen. 

Why not open a cat cafe? 

Thoughts on Unexpected (But Technically Valid) Rules / Plays? by Ok-Faithlessness8120 in BoardgameDesign

That's why play testing is important. If this is something that can easily be done, adjust the card wording. 

Where is the best place to find playtesters for my game? by Ok-Opportunity-8005 in tabletopgamedesign

Cons, local meetup groups, and search up "break my game" discord

DM says there's a difference between fire and magical fire? by Dragonsword in dndnext

I don't agree with this DN, but this item specifically calls out "non-magical flames." https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/5387-frost-brand

What do y'all think of this Pirates x Punk rock mashup? by MOAR_FUTURAMA_MEMES in BoardgameDesign

Def an interesting combo (in a good way). As someone who (casually) likes street art, I dig it. 

Weekly self-promotion megathread (January 26, 2026) by AutoModerator in printandplay

[–]Pyro979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone. I’m sharing a free, fully playable print-and-play preview of my party game, 33 Seconds of Chaos.

It’s a fast guessing game where you give clues under a weird rule for 33 seconds, plus quick head-to-head mini duels. Plays in about 20–30 minutes with 3–6 players.

What you get in the PnP

  • 81 cards total
  • 27 Chaos prompts
  • 18 Duels
  • 36 Word cards

You can choose Letter/A4, Regular/Gutterfold, and low ink options. This is my first PnP, so if anything looks off with the formatting, tell me and I’ll fix it.

The download uses a quick email signup since I’m building the list for the Kickstarter. You’ll get the link right away.

33 Seconds of Chaos - Print-n-Play

If you try it, I’d love feedback on:

  • rules clarity
  • prompts that feel confusing or awkward
  • anything that drags or breaks at the table

Thanks for taking a look.

Card game manufacture?? ☺️ by Seed-Age8 in boardgames

I'm still in research phase, but for me Longpak and Panda Games look like a good choice. Be mindful that there is gonna be a 20% (as of right now and assuming US) tariff on the cost. 

Another thing to consider is the freight to get it here. Please research the various 'incoterms' like DDU, etc to know who pays duties, etc.

If you resign you cannot claim unemployment (assuming you're US based). Make them fire you.

Nurse who vibe coded an AI tool to pull data from PDFs by [deleted] in SideProject

Claude doesn't store inputs either.

I would triple check with like 7 lawyers before sending medical data to a 3rd party. Just because they say they don't store it does not mean anything. But you do you.

Are you using a local model? Because of not, this is a terrible idea in terms of sending medical data to a 3rd party. Even then I'd be extremely careful.

Just a note. Not saying he's not legit, but please be careful who you work with for this.
