Good riddance imo. The more shitty mobile game cash cows that shut down the better. Companies need to focus on high quality experiences for the LotR brand.

I genuinely think that One Ring 2e is the greatest middle earth game ever made. It is so thematic and is absolutely jam packed with flavor. The second best LotR game is lord of the rings online and for all the same reasons listed above. I dont think anyone will even come close to lotro's power.

There is not a single reason to outsource your creativity to a computer.

Not one.

To do so removes the very point of being creative in the first place.

I've made some of the most unintentionally funny looking card prototypes using stock photos and CardCreator. At least those have soul

Falchion ⚔️ @falchionrpg.bsky.social · 2d

Oh no this is way worse than I imagined lmao. This looks so cheap and soulless somehow even more so than just blank card frames with text. At least the card text is written by a human and is a real prototype. This is so saddening.

You don't even need genAI to prototype a card game at all when a white box with some scribbles will do, CardCreator is a great tool and there's always other things that i would think are way faster and almost all completely free. For a massive company like lss this is so shitty.

so incredibly disappointed in Flesh and Blood. it's wild how people who rely on the work of artists are so quick to completely devalue them and their work. using genAI for "prototypes" doesn't undo the environmental damage or art theft incurred. it also normalizes a harmful and unnecessary "tool" :/

You can tell a lot about a rpg game by how much they respect the Fighter™️ archetype. You can make a boring dumb guy-with-sword or you can make them the complex battlefield commander. I always tend to play the fighter in both video games and ttrpg and most fail sadly. Make fighters fun!

What's up #DrawSteel gamers!?

My first draft/proof of concept for a dedicated knight class has been drafted up for a playtest if anyone is interested. I am working on this as a passion project and will be fully fleshing it out over the coming weeks!

Here's the link:

Ugh I cant export to pdf from Obsidian on the android app. Gotta wait until I get home and have access to my PC. I want to get my playtest doc out by tomorrow.

Falchion ⚔️ @falchionrpg.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah the no reprise is huge

Falchion ⚔️ @falchionrpg.bsky.social · 6d

Which you gain on your turn as well additional glory for each "Quest" you complete during combat like laying down your life for your party, aiding party members and slaying powerful foes in battle. I wanted to evoke the more mythical side of the knight from arthurian legend and fantasy!

Falchion ⚔️ @falchionrpg.bsky.social · 6d

Hey thanks for asking!

It is primarily mount focused with each knightly order (similar to censor domains) having a unique mythical mount that the player receives. Mounts have signature abilities and level up like leveled treasures as your "bond" grows. The heroic resource is glory 1/X

I've been getting the layout of The Knight class that I'm designing for #DrawSteel put together and I keep noticing things and wanting to add things and the urge to overdesign is UNBEARABLE!

Good news is I think the playtest version is gonna rock and I'm very excited even if it sucks. Never stop!
