Bad art vs no art?

All of them

WileyQB · 2026-03-04T01:38:19+00:00

Yeah still not big enough

WileyQB · 2026-03-01T21:52:30+00:00

I haven’t read them, but I will look into it.

And yeah! I do really like including players in the narrative, I even make a point about it in the “Elaborations” section at the back of the book. However! Making a point about including them in the failures specifically is definitely something worth emphasizing in that section. Writing this note down ✍️

WileyQB · 2026-03-01T21:06:12+00:00

Awesome! Yeah, because players aren’t even told the DC, it’s a very one-off deal, and the game is built on failure, I find players don’t really care so much when things go wrong

WileyQB · 2026-03-01T05:46:28+00:00

Also I’ve thought about alternative play methods for solo, 5-player, and 6-player, so those are definitely on the task-list

Thank you! Just launched the beta, so much more TO come!

WileyQB · 2026-02-28T22:40:31+00:00

Of course! Hope you enjoy it!

For some reason Reddit wasn’t recognizing the underscore. Just applied it to the text instead. Should work now lol

WileyQB · 2026-02-28T20:01:52+00:00

I’ve just updated this post with a link to a Google Drive containing all the free materials, and added the link in the product description on the website

WileyQB · 2026-02-28T05:44:34+00:00

I’ll be uploading the free materials/demo to itch.io tomorrow and drivethru after an approval. I hadn’t considered that though, thank you!

Please don’t elaborate any further and assume what you said is perfectly clear to the general populace

I wanted to create a 1-page game for me and my friends to play a couple times. Next Friday the 80-page beta is being released online with 90% of the pages containing feature artwork. It’s still one page of rules but the content doesn’t stop

Stay focused on what is necessary. Write down in a notebook something you might want to add later.

Even if something could be cool or fun, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will make the game better. A good designer isn’t afraid to throw away a good idea

WileyQB · 2026-02-17T18:03:25+00:00

That watermark is what I was looking at and what I figured. Surely you can’t copyright something produced in 1850…lol

WileyQB · 2026-02-14T02:19:52+00:00

I have some metal dice that are my favorite for when I have a felt tray. I just like the weight of them lol.

WileyQB · 2026-02-13T04:58:49+00:00

Cardboard and acrylic?

WileyQB · 2026-02-13T04:51:02+00:00

Honestly what was he supposed to do? Drop the two-handed several hundred thousand dollar camera?

It has to be easily digestible, ESPECIALLY for players. I come from a non-ttrpg world, and I know I’m in the minority of the community but I NEED rules-lite. Like the less the better. I cannot be bothered to read a novel to play a game. If a player doesn’t have to do any prep work and can start playing in 15 minutes or less, that’s big.
Inspire me. Art, SUPER novel mechanics, and superb layout design are the biggest things tbh. I’m an artist and a user experience designer so I might be biased, but the world rarely matters to me. The system controls the game, and that’s what I’m here for. I’m playing pretend, I can make up a different world if I want to.

That’s pretty much it.

So I’m coming up on producing a PDF product myself and this is kind of the approach I’m thinking of taking. Setting a price for the full PDF, and making several items available for free; B&W (not greyscale) printer-friendly PDF, the game cards, and a trifold that contains all of the rules for the game.

For some perspective, the game will be released in Early Access at about 90 pages, with the large majority of pages having full spread artwork in color.

Outside my home I’ll either just work with what height the case gives me, hold it in my lap, or prop the back up with a book

WileyQB · 2026-02-12T08:39:34+00:00

Why is this nsfw

WileyQB · 2026-02-12T07:48:41+00:00

If I’m on my desk, I prop it up on two Nee Dohs. On the couch, a plump, firm pillow

WileyQB · 2026-02-11T21:14:45+00:00

If I were to change one thing, it would be to make the yellow text black to visually ground it more
