First win in the game. Still think it is a great game but some runs can certainly suffer from bad baddie combinations and become unwinnable early one

Have been trying various ways to make character emotions an integral part of the mechanics in my current design. First as cards, then as hexflower and now as “dials”.

Are there any boardgames that integrate emotions into mechanics?

what's your favorite thing you've seen done with dice in a game? if you play as japan in intrepid you manipulate your dice by tilting them one face at a time (eg to the right)

This weekend was full of games! A rarity for me nowadays. Had some time to learn Too Many Bones.

Really enjoyed it. Can’t remember last time such a game gave me such sense of progression and made me agonize over level up options

Continued my Aeon Tresspass campaign today. Lots of fiddly rules, and not sure it does it’s job better than KDM but there are some things I really like in there, like the kraton tokens

Thoughts on this one?

For the dungeoncrawl I am designing, I am looking into enemy activation that is wholt dependent on player actions.

Any games that this has been done?
The only game I found was Myth with its Darkness track.

I have set 5 core design pillars for the dungeoncrawl I am designing

Use Input randomness mostly
Cooperation mechanisms
Player cards are the history and personality of the characters
No multiple tokens near each enemy miniature
Have tactical depth

Any games that I should look into for inspiration?

I have been trying on-and-off to design board games but never completed one. Thinking of starting a development blog, for self-motivation, and feedback. But they take time so I am thinking of writting short-form here.

Has any one used twitter or bsky for that purpose.
Any suggestions?
