I used to do quality inspections on drivers licenses when I worked at the factory. One neat detail some states will do is hide super small text in their decorative lines

For example, Illinois has it in the red ribbons (and if you shine a black light on the card, Lincoln gets his top hat!)

I figured thats where your head was at with your comments under your post

btw I’m on 100% board with you when it comes to the word “innovative” I don’t think it should be used in analog gaming spaces

Clever and Innovative might be synonyms, but they give off wildly different vibes

TTRPGs are unique from board games in that an author who has no interest in game design can piece together the works from game designers as scaffolding and make something ✨clever✨

Maybe it’s because I came to this hobby via board games, but simply reskinning an old game with a new theme and/or new art can WILDLY improve a game

New mechanics are fun, but often unnecessary

For the record, I 100% agree with Evlyn’s original post

There is no obligation to “advance” analog game design

I miss amvs!

It's super fun to use that Inventory System. One thing we had a blast with was just raiding the "Junk Drawer" for miscellaneous things to make up the Gear:

I also have an idea for a way for Groundlings to cost resources that’s not straight up hiring them like normal hirelings

I have some ideas for a Mouse-less Mausritter hack where you play solely as the Groundlings (think “funnel” but you keep recruiting new characters) but I’ll need to write an adventure for that to have legs
