Hello! Time I did a reintroduction for the peeps coming over from the bird app.

I'm Shiraz, an artist and game designer from India. You can usually find me yapping a combination of the following:

- Artwork (commission slots are ready)
- Game design ideas
- Random puns or quips based on what i see
A guy who ships stuff with buggy tech likes buggy tech? Shocker.

THAT WASN'T A EUPHEMISM!!!

Turns out, pretty easy actually!
Now I need to draw some new sprites so it's obvious they explode.
Not sure what I need to do to make them hurt the player (or both the player AND enemies) though...pretty sure current set up is friendly fire off.

Way back when I was judging for the Golden Cobra Challenge, I remember seeing “FIGHT TRUCK” come up as one of the games.

Let me set the record straight that I am 100% pro-FIGHT TRUCK. My biggest regret of my career is not pushing harder for it to win a category

What if some games are too risky to not play?

#TTRPGIdea: Blood in the Dorks. You play as ancient vampires trying to get eternal rest and you’ve managed to find a dork/nerd/geek to end you.

Problem is that your demonic castle and rabid followers did not get the memo.

You also play as the dork hired by the next player’s vampire. Try to die.

This is a #WIP for my #Sci-Fi #TTRPG GunMetal:Voyager.

I’ve been developing it slowly on my own and, like every great novel ever written or every game ever made, I think it’s getting closer to the end.

And like every other game or novel, the last bit is the toughest.

Ryuutama (it's about the journey. Literally)

Dragonbane (easier, funnier Dnd. Also you can be a duckperson.)

Lancer (Crunchy. Tactical. Cool robots.)

Blades in the Dark (Storygame 101. It teaches you how to storygame in baby steps.)
If you wanted to run say, four different games that weren't Dungeons & Dragons in hopes of showing people the breadth of the TTRPG hobby, what games would you run for them? Assume that they are sort of familiar with 5E.

#tttrpg question for you #gamedevs out there.

How do you write prompts/make rollable tables?

So you just draw from past experience in games or sit down and flowchart stuff.

The only year end wrap I will accept is what fillings you will put in your tortilla/roti.

Maximum 4 fillings. Go.

@thaumavore.blue did a review of the largest TTRPG project I partook in. I did the layout, art direction, including a good bunch of drawing to adapt the comics for this game. We laid and doctored about 600 art pieces in total in a lapse of 2-3 years. It was bananas.

#ttrpg folks, designers, and hobbyists - here's a question.

Do you prefer tracks, such as hp/spell power, resources, etc being counted down to zero or being accrued to a maximum value?

Given that both ways lead to dire consequences

What's the flavour of the current era of TTRPG design? Social Media Refragmentation? Is it a consolidation cycle? What are the new upcoming designers struggling with and against now?

Okay, lets break down this image!
Background; I have a masters in architecture, and I have worked for a firm that specialized in custom built, detached family homes, which is what this is obviously supposed to be. I also worked for a firm drafting custom high end kitchens.

So lets analyze this...

Lovely analysis.

The most trite part of the post being analysed is the insistence of a profession being 'cooked' because the one brain cell all these shills share doesn't understand competence.

Just in case I haven't been clear, I have 0 respect for anyone using generative bullshit plagiarism machine.

The only acceptable generative engine is rollable tables in #ttrpgs

What a terrible usé of wordes to inflict üpon ūs.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

I’ve heard a lot of art advice that involves telling a story with a piece of #Artwork.

What kind of story do you see here?
