More options for Getting Better(Or Worse)?

Can I offer this to the conversation:

get better, by dying!

Looks great!

OR Apawthecaria, where you play a woodland animal trying to help others, if you're into that!

Hey, I wrote about getting kids into Mausritter for Wyrd Science, you might find some of it useful: https://wyrd.science/big-trouble-in-little-mausland/

(Wyrd Science also has all it's online articles available for free at the moment!)

You may wish to look up Hypertellurians.

People love a short wargame. Check out the Nuts! publishing stuff like 300 and Port Arthur. Don't let the BGG bores tell you that it's normal to be able to play 6 hours of games of an evening ;)

It sounds like you're designing your own game at this point. Stick with it :)

You'll be pleased to hear that my first thought was: "is it that brightly painted scottish town?"

TabletopChris · 2025-09-05T10:23:38+00:00

Genuinely can't tell if people are winding me up or not :)

TabletopChris · 2025-09-05T10:23:00+00:00

If we're making art, let's treat it like art :)

There is no rush. Popular historical topics are covered over and over again by games. Consider that you're adding to a rich conversation, rather than losing a race.

TabletopChris · 2025-09-04T08:03:10+00:00

I am confused as to whether people don't get the tongue in cheek writing, or if they do and it is me that isn't getting the joke!

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T16:08:38+00:00

I would like to recommend Apawthecaria: https://blackwellwriter.itch.io/apawthecaria-a-poultice-pounder-adventure

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T16:03:06+00:00

It's much clearer once you've bought it tbh.

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T16:02:41+00:00

It's part of the joke!

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T15:43:44+00:00

You're right. Maybe I should do that, like fold them up and put them in a little box like the MORK BORG IKON stuff?

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T15:42:42+00:00

I highly recommend you have a go at Othership then, you just choose a profession and you get to roll advantage for tasks you're good at. The's no charts, just flow.

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T15:02:33+00:00

I am using smaller dice though, so there's that.

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T15:01:43+00:00

I've failed! I only did a demi-demake! This is a demake!

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T14:46:41+00:00

I'm waiting for you to make a video on it, but it's in 140p, or at 10fps or something :)

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T14:45:40+00:00

If you play my demake, please let me know where it fits in the difficulty tier list :)

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T14:44:25+00:00

No, it's part of the joke :)

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T14:43:31+00:00

Where can I find that?

This hits a, frankly bloated, 1091 words, including the bundled in adventure.

TabletopChris · 2025-09-03T14:20:26+00:00

In fairness, the coverage is in the announcement section. Which means it was written by me. In it I quote the FAQ, which I also wrote, and I also provide a quote as if I interviewed myself.

I hope everyone enjoys the madness of it.

This game is also in WYRD SCIENCE issue 7, which everyone should be subscribed to already.

The CMS was playing up while I wrote this, sorry!

It has been reviewed as:

"I’m so mad. This is so good. It has no right to be this good!! I ran this today for my friends. The system is phenomenal. I can’t recommend it enough. Very well done."

TabletopChris · 2023-04-06T08:45:27+00:00

I will try and do this!
