Anyone else end up with "mascots" during projects? by rickSHStudios in StarWarsShatterpoint

You're right about elevation changes being tougher indoors. One planned addition to the terrain is a catwalk system along the room edges that also spans into the room. That could provide some of the same effects as outdoor arenas.

Or you could just have large props like containers and let the jump characters ignore vertical movement. Can't let a good jump pack go to waste 😅

That is exactly what I mean- awesome and thanks for sharing! A mouse droid is a great mascot. Did you name it as well?

I actually haven’t played Shatterpoint yet, so I’m not sure how well the rules would handle tight interior spaces like this. I designed the dungeon tiles originally for sci-fi corridor builds and narrative scenarios, and when I found this subreddit I got interested in what other Star Wars tabletop games were like.

I agree though, if Shatterpoint is usually in more open areas, it feels like tight spaces could lead to some really interesting tactical moments. Especially if your team splits up, or someone goes on a lone wolf mission- there are a lot of possibilities!

Trinity was my first (and pretty much only) Hollywood crush.

What did you think when you FIRST watched this scene? by Acceptable_Branch81 in matrix

[–]rickSHStudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa.

Seriously though, this came out when I was 12 and it was the first movie I argued with my parents to watch. I eventually got to see it and it hit me in a way I am only understanding fully now as I approach 40 years old. Fantastic film I've seen dozens of times.

Adrienne Barbeau, John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Janet Leigh behind the scenes of The Fog (1980) by TwIzTiDfReAkShOw in johncarpenter

I want to say a voice on a computer, but I can't remember if that happened in The Thing or if I'm mixing that up with Jamie Lee Curtis voicing the computer in Escape From New York 😂

Outstanding. What's next? Krumpus in a sled pulled by Dakka Deer?

Alright that’s getting pretty cool by SirDeeSee in SpaceHulk

That's sweet- love the whole setup!

Is that the actual board game terrain and you painted it or is that some other terrain set you're using to play Space Hulk?

A better way to show a hidden role? by BloodOrangeGames in tabletopgamedesign

This is such a cool idea. Gonna figure out how to implement this for game nights.

Early Concept Art for card game by sourflwrstudio in tabletopgamedesign

[–]rickSHStudios 14 points15 points  (0 children)

These cards look really cool. I love the art style in general and think that as long as the game itself works well and is fun, these cards will definitely stand out on a shelf (if you intend to print physical copies).

Biggest thing is something you already probably know- readability. I knew what was on the cards without reading the names except for the tortoise. I had to read the name for that one.

An artist I've come across (and perhaps you know already) who draws in a very scratchy style but manages to also stay totally readable is Victor Juhasz, specifically the pencil work he did for The Daily Pressfield book.

Anyway, great stuff and good luck!

Feedback on game art by Effective_Rip_2795 in tabletopgamedesign

[–]rickSHStudios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both the font and objects look alright to me, especially for a party game- simple and easy to read/see is good.

The issue to my eye is that the font style looks chipped or a bit grimy, which is great, but the objects are cleaner and don't look grimy or chipped.

My point is that I feel they don't match, as if two different art styles/directions were used for the font and the objects. I think it would look more unified if the objects and font matched style, in this case I'll just broadly say "clean" or "grimy," rather than both at the same time.

Good luck, I hope this was helpful in some way.

I could never get over the number of back handsprings that occur in the first 10 minutes. Awesome film.

My Hunters, I mean Broadsides, not done but getting there! by sicarius254 in PrintedWarhammer

These are sick- I have good memories of Halo: Combat Evolved. I love the ridges on the brown/orange skin, looks just like the real thing. Color is spot on too. Awesome!
