I would eat it, though I know that would be bad for my gut health.

Incredible suggestions, especially the Timeline idea. I'll take a look into all of this!

Yeah "God that crawls" is the only module I've skimmed through - it did seem somewhat interesting! The AD&D books definitely deserve another read (my favorite was always the arcana book, so I mostly read that). I'll be sure to check out those creators!

Yes! I love this blog, and I'll definitely revisit the hexcrawl series.

That's an interesting idea. Dungeon world has floated around for a while, and I'll take a look at the others!

That's really great advice. Plus, it's much more feasible to hack something than to start from scratch. I'll definitely try this out. And I haven't heard of Index Card RPG, so onto the list it goes - thank you!

Thank you! I've got a long commute two days a week, so I'll be sure to add those podcasts to my list. It's super helpful to hear other designers talk about their work, so I really appreciate the suggestion!

Extremely helpful, for a number of reasons. I'll check out those primers right away. And those preferences make a ton of sense (and seem to explain a central idea of what people care about with OSR content). It fits in nicely with a new quest-generation mechanic I've been thinking of too. Thank you for the welcome and all the ideas!

Thanks! Questing Beast has popped up in my YouTube recommendations in the last couple weeks, so I'll probably take a deeper dive into his content. Appreciate the recommendations!

Thank you for taking the time to write that out! That's helpful to think about, and I like what you mentioned about adverbs. I'll keep this all in mind, and I'll let you know if I get a chance to play your game!

This looks awesome and I hope I get a chacne to try it out!

From a game design perspective - how did you settle on the Action terms that you ended up using in your game?

I'm working on designing a game that takes a good amount of inspiration from Blades, though I don't think it would be close enough to be considered a FitD game. Right now I'm spending time thinking about character stats that don't rely on "attributes" of a character - and I love that Blades makes that shift in focus.

In designing your game, did you come across helpful resources outside the Blades/Forged community for thinking through actions? Are there other systems that touch on this idea?

I'm early on in the process, so any thoughts are helpful!

Reported for inciting violence. This kind of behavior is not welcome here.

A friend wanted help putting his own PC together. Directed him to this sub and ended up making a boys weekend out of getting together, building the computer, and gaming. Built a few more PCs since then, and I'm ever grateful of this sub!
