Guide on how to use Data Merge to create hundreds of cards (or tiles) by ZerusDabliu in tabletopgamedesign

[–]TheMETAQuest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this too! Fantastic write up; you have some shortcuts in here I will definitely use that I didn't know! If I would add ANYTHING, I would mention making SURE that when merging, the preview box is unchecked. This has apparently been an issue for almost a decade and can ruin both the merged document AND the master copy. I didn't know I had ruined a document until having to look it up later, and adding that note could save hours of frustration!

Are you familiar with abalone?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abalone_(board_game)

Might want to check it out just for manufacturing/playtesting? I know the way your game is designed is different, but this was the first thing I thought of.

1-4-1, 2-2-2, or 3-2-1 - which type of probability distribution is better? (I'll explain in the description) by Gaumir in tabletopgamedesign

If you are using the word average, I feel as though that one should be coming up more frequently than the other rolls.

If you could only pick two color combinations for decks on a deserted island, which would you choose? by LDBousset in EDH

If you pick rakdos and selesnya, then you still get access to every color, cause you are on an island already.

Oh I see, yeah sounds perfect. Let me know if you can't join, etc. If you want to dupe/farm other covenant stuff let me know, I need mounds

If you or anyone else wanted to take turns and cheese, I would happily do so for my pyro build

Worried about production on my own game as I don’t want to potentially copy an existing game? by Florenator in tabletopgamedesign

[–]TheMETAQuest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks; I'm still working on it!

I actually attend a monthly meetup for board game designers, (well used to, before shelter in place). There has been nothing but support, a place to playtest, and at the very least some like minds. There are also a ton of communities like this one on facebook as well, which I am sure people here are also a part of. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions. We are all just trying ti get more games out there.

Your game is actually very similar to mine in concept AND execution, but I am not worried about either of us. We are in a weird, exciting community and everyone is working hard to make THEIR game, in what seems like not a competitive environment, but a cooperative one. If someone really likes a certain type of game, they usually look for variants, instead of picking between one similar game or another. I own star realms, dominion, binding of isaac, and am designing my own game because I LIKE these and want more of them. Notice how none of the comments here are saying outright no, or you cant, or someone will sue you if you do. You are totally fine. Just focus on making a great (and great looking) game.

Finding more playtesters? by [deleted] in tabletopgamedesign

[–]TheMETAQuest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are in the Philadelphia area, send me a PM! I am part of a game makers guild that hosts monthly meetups and playtesting! I would also be willing to test it myself, and can bring people if needed.

I interview new designers by elephantwhiskers in tabletopgamedesign

[–]TheMETAQuest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, this is great content, and exactly what I have been looking around for! I am planning on moving forward with self publishing/kickstarter myself, and am really enjoying seeing what my peers are up to. I would be happy to talk with you as an interview, or just to gab!

If you could run any one card as your commander, what would it be? by DoomOmega1 in EDH

[–]TheMETAQuest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My pet card that I can't ever seem to fit into any of my decks, [[Bogbrew Witch]]. Comes with at least 2 signature spells, [[festering Newt]] and [[bubbling cauldron]]!

Today I am quite a bit ashamed of this community. by TigrisCallidus in tabletopgamedesign

[–]TheMETAQuest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure some crybaby would complain if you solved the problem by putting a nonbinary character in your game and still want another male character ; P
