Hello #TTRPGRising I'm Mitchell, aka Awesome Soul, a TTRPG Designer.
Currently, I'm working on my dream TTRPG, Tamers.
A monster taming & battling game where you fight alongside your monster, and explore a vast wilderness lost to time.
If that sounds interesting give me a follow to stay up to date.

Hey everyone, update time!
I'm slowly getting out of my burnout, so progress on Tamers is speeding up!
Alpha Playtest 2 is available on the Discord for those that want to see Tamers in action.
(Not in the PT)
I've overhauled the elemental system. Streamlined based on my experience running it.

I'm someone who actually enjoys the minutiae of balancing.
That being said, it's great and all to have [3 spike pits, dealing 1d6 damage each, if a player fails all 3, they'll still have enough HP to make it through the dungeon].
But BEFORE that, WHY are there spike pits,WHO made them, etc.

If someone asks me how balanced the encounters of an adventures are before they ask it’s central conflict, plot, or themes, that person is trying to look engaged and isn’t actually engaging.

For TTRPG designers who have made playtest packages.
So I'm coming out with a large revamp to my system and am doing a V2 playtest.
My dilemma is; do I use the same mini-adventure I wrote for the last play test, or write a new one?
Do you think people will care about doing the same one again?

I feel having a section in your TTRPG source book called "How to Play [Your TTRPG Here]" covers both bases.
Imo, these sections are also important for people (both players and GMs) to get an overview of what they are getting into, so they can more easily digest the rest of the book.

People debate adding “what is a roleplaying game” sections for folks new to the hobby, but rarely adding “what this roleplaying game is *not*” for those who have played just one (you know which) TTRPG and bring a lot of attendant baggage with them to their next game that’s better left behind

I've decided to write a small "Strategy" section into all the stat blocks you'll find in my TTRPG Tamers.
It feels like such a great QoL feature, especially for new Game Masters.
Just quick and concise tips (2-3 lines) for how that being can be best utilised in an encounter.

It's wild to me that we still have above ground powerlines, especially in areas that experience wind storms often.
One tree or branch falls and the power for thousands of people is out for hours or even days.
You'd think with how much we rely on electricity this would be a solved problem by now.

I often wonder where I would be if I didn't have such bad social anxiety.
It's something I've struggled with nearly all my life.
Making & maintaining connections have always been hard for me, so to any mutuals just know it's not that I don't like you, I just that suck at interaction. Lol
