🗺️ The first main lands explored in Bug & Claw are known as Entomara.
More specifically, Western Entomara. There will be interesting interactions with settlements, lore, and unique adventures.

That #deviantart makes you upgrade to core in order to turn on 2FA has got to be one of the dumber things they've done, and they've done a lot of dumb things in the last 5-10 years.

Something that comes up in #ttrpg discussions a lot are shared "meta" roles outside of playing a character (or, sometimes, creatively as part of a character).
• Map-making
• Note-taking
• Group treasure tracking
• Etc
For B&C I'm trying to formalize this

I've finally migrated to Affinity for layouts and vectors.
Only holding onto Photoshop for now because I prefer digital painting in it, but as soon as Affinity catches up to my preferred feel there, I'm gone from Adobe land.
So much bloat. So pricey. AI slop. Not listening to professionals.

If you play solo game books, you know it can be hard to track your progress in a sensible way outside of your character sheet. If you need to rewind or tell your story, here's my notetaking format to help.

In Bug & Claw's 53rd devlog, I share the cleaned-up Game Design Document, which helps new collaborators understand the direction the game is going in and keep us focused.
GDD - Devlog #53 - Bug & Claw
As I bring on more folks to collaborate in areas like editing and art, it became more important to clean up the Game Design Document for Bug & Claw so that those folks could get a better idea of what the aim and intentions are. It helps us all focus. A what now? A Game

Do you struggle to find time to play together?
Maybe you don't have to.
Maybe you can play solo but also co-op?
Have you ever watched Ladyhawke? 🦅🐺

Using playtest feedback to create and begin defining the arthropod orders for Bug & Claw in Devlog 48
Arthropod Orders - Devlog #48 - Bug & Claw
When collecting feedback during the playtest we did, the thing that was most abundantly apparent was that people wanted to be able to make a character based on their favourite arthropod.
