Hey, everyone. This is my first playtest demo and I would like your input on it.

If you're not familiar with EZD6, it's an amazing rules-light system which is super fun to play.

Hey! I have no idea how to do this, I’ve never made a List or Starter Pack before, but:

I would love to learn how to do pixel art like you do. I've tried a few times over the years but never could quite get it.

ZELERYN EZD6 PLAYTEST DEMO is released! I know it's not much, but it includes 5 pregen characters and the mech rules. You'll still need the EZD6 Core rules to play. Let me know what you think.

Would anyone be interested in a playtest demo for Zeleryn EZD6?

Sage (Star Hat Studio) @starhatstudio.com · Sep 6

My favorite bit to say about imposter syndrome and myself is "I'm not good enough to have Imposter Syndrome".

But realistically, I try to get a think tank together to help reduce these issues.

Kim Hu @kim-hu.com · Sep 6

Guys what do you do when you suffer from imposter syndrome real bad? Like brain being really mean telling you nothing you ever did is good enough and people are just laughing at how bad you are?

Please no compliments or anything, really just looking for inspirational memes or such that helped you.

They were never going to stop at what was "legal" or not. They didnt to begin with!

All art/media is on the chopping block. You have to fight this NOW. keep calling, contact your reps. Make some noise!

Go away, Imposter Syndrome. I've already told you I'm not good enough for you.

However, as an adult the same games I played before just don't feel the same since I was a kid growing up (obviously). It sends me down a nostalgic rabbit hole which sometimes sours into depressive thoughts.

Sage (Star Hat Studio) @starhatstudio.com · Aug 19

I've done the same thing since starting last year. I managed to collect all the games and systems from my childhood. Which I value dearly. I even picked up a CRT for the authentic experience. Unfortunately I don't really play them often enough with how busy I am.
