A very first working draft of my digital sandbox experiment.

Also please note the penguiny background.

The spark of the unexpected, scheduled for tomorrow. I'll write about emergent game play and why we should love it!
Stay tuned at kateplays.substack.com you #ttrpg beautiful folks!

After some debate I thought that collecting and publishing my Substack articles in ebook format would be a fine idea. Of course it will be free as the articles you can read over at kateplays.substack.com
All in #ttrpg context of course. Quarterly too

Whoops... did it again. Accidentally wrote another "no one felt the need of" #ttrpg system. This one, almost ready for publication (free and open source) is about Scenarios, Scenes and Progress.

Just saying... Tech is permeating and it is quite important. Learning and understanding it is even more so...

Little update on my new #ttrpg The Resonance Engine and its companion dungeon delve module!

Hi Guy, just an opinion about gameable content. The page below comes from a (too long) document of mine. These are 3 areas. Do you think is "usable" enough? What would you change, from a GM point of view?
April 10, 2025 at 7:52 AM
Looks funny and to be honest, I humbled by the company. Love you folks!

For no apparent reason I want to play a game in the Forgotten Realms, but low fantasy and a touch more grim and dark... In fact I don't want to play in the Forgotten Realms.

A somewhat lengthy answer I gave on substack about dice preferences, just wanted to share it also here. Sorry, it's been a tough day, I need some breath

Now even nicer... sorry guys, I'm very excited about this one for no sensible reason at all 😊

What about the cover of The Ember Codex?

I'm so glad you asked! But keep in mind that as everything in this project, this might be subject to changes!

Ok, then, I confess. Tomorrow will be my birthday, but I already started with this beautiful gift from an Italian friend. So this is a good excuse to brush up some distant linguistic memories 🤭

Lo and behold! The initial layout for my heartbreaker project The Ember Codex 🥰

Text is of course good old lorem ipsum placeholder.

Apparently this one is Solarpunk. I'd like some solarpunkness right now!

Showcase time! I'm working on the initial layout for Failstate System. Very rough and minimal, but here it is.

Also, I'm trying to follow a "learn by example" kind of writing leveraging spreads.

Aaaaaaand I'm done. In Failstate System there are 4 Forces: Prowess, Finesse, Stoutness and Wit. Here the 4 corresponding icons: a bull, a swan, a badger and an owl
March 10, 2025 at 7:58 AM
In Failstate System there are 4 Drives: Courage, Faith, Lore and Luck. Here the corresponding 4 icons!

Last for today... in Failstate System there are 4 contexts:
- Borderland
- Dungeon
- Settlement
- Wilderness

So 4 more icons (even though I feel these ones a little rough)
