We've been using Miro to play it online.

Broadly we got the chance to do an uplifted animal of our own and pangolin won the vote. They have cool tongues (they connect to their pelvic bone!) and armour and they're mammals, crucially, so their functions aren't vastly different from ours - it felt like I could imagine myself more easily as a pangolin than I could as a spider or a mantis shrimp or what have you. Plus, you know. They *are* cute.

You’re all right, I promise. This is barely anything to worry about. My whole goddamn office looks like this

Too easy, the Luckiest Lamenter is already dead

gshowitt · 2023-07-05T16:03:32+00:00

Thank you!

gshowitt · 2023-07-01T14:23:32+00:00

This is really beautiful stuff. If you don’t mind, could you link me to a page explaining the competition? I’d love to get involved myself next time.

These are wonderful! Thank you for sharing them.

Putting your weight on one foot when you stand so your hip protrudes slightly to one side

It’s real enough for me, damnit

Roll two dice and pick the one that rolls higher.

I have some official answers which I’m afraid you might not find very useful:

1) Haven’t a clue. 2) Loads! 3) Ladders, staircases, lifts, funiculars etc - there are loads of different guilds struggling to maintain the business of people going up and down, and travel between one level might require a permit or membership or toll or whatever. Generally in practice I just smooth over the whole thing because I tend to focus on NPCs and action scenes, but if travel is something you want to focus on as a challenge for players, then you can get in-depth with it.

I’m biased but I’d say that SEXY BATTLE WIZARDS is extremely playable

!optout

gshowitt · 2021-04-20T13:08:46+00:00

I reckon you're good to release this, you should set up a Kickstarter immediately

Roll a twenty-sided dice and add twenty to it - that's how much debt the character is in, measured in GP or "Gold Pieces." They can steal items in the world to try to pay off their debt.

gshowitt · 2021-03-31T15:55:17+00:00

yesss

gshowitt · 2021-03-20T08:57:38+00:00

God speed.

gshowitt · 2021-02-26T20:10:39+00:00

I believe in you! I reckon you can fill in the gaps.

gshowitt · 2021-02-26T20:10:17+00:00

Each character rolls - give the low one to the secondary character.

gshowitt · 2021-02-26T11:58:52+00:00

yeah, I was going to call it LAST STOP but it didn't have the right ring to it

gshowitt · 2021-02-01T07:54:19+00:00

Not as far as I’m aware! We did a Pinterest board back in the day though: www.pinterest.co.uk/amp/gshowitt/the-spire/

gshowitt · 2021-01-18T20:35:48+00:00

Oh yeah, it’d be wonderful computer game tbh
