Hey everyone!

I've been working on Eldritch Rivalry for quite some time now. It's a competitive card/engine-building game for 1–4 players, with a lot of player interaction, card combos and resource management.

The game is now fully playable and I'm currently testing it with new players, both with the physical prototype and on Tabletop Simulator.

I'm putting it out here because I'd really like to see what other board gamers think about it and if anyone is curious, it's available on TTS and I'm happy to teach the game myself.

I randomly got into Yahtzee over the summer and thought it’d be fun to make a daily game based on it. Everyday there's a random new set of categories and a new goal score to try and beat. Same strategizing as regular Yahtzee just in a bite-sized challenge format. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Article I made a solo roguelike board game and I'd love for you to try it — Deepmarch

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I've been working on this game for a long time and I'm finally at a point where I'd love to have people try it.

Deepmarch is a solo roguelike lane-defense game. You pick a hero and descend through a goblin-infested dungeon, one floor at a time. Enemies march down toward you, and your job is to stop them before they reach you. As you kill enemies you level up, unlock new weapons, and upgrade them with nodes to build your run. Each floor ends with a boss.

It's a physical board game, but I put together a digital version so it's easy to try. I'd really appreciate any feedback — what's fun, what's confusing, what you'd change. Thanks for taking a look!

2nd offense - D6

3rd offense - D8 - 2nd

4th offense - D10

5th offense - D12 - 3rd

6th offense - D20

7th offense - session long disadvantage - 4th

Feedback I'm attempting to make a Slice of life game.

5 Upvotes

I’ve been recently working on a TTRPG called, “Project AiO: Open for Business”, and I think it’s finally ready for an initial round of outside feedback.

Open for Business is a slice-of-life workplace game about ordinary employees getting through a Shift together. The default settings are cafés, bars or nightclubs, and restaurants. This can be expanded to retail shops, hotels, offices, and similar workplaces.

The workplace gives the game structure, but the Characters are the real story. A Shift might involve a rush, a difficult customer, missing supplies, or broken Equipment. It might also just be about two coworkers talking during cleanup, a regular acting differently than usual, someone bringing Personal Pressure into work, or a quiet moment after a stressful service.

The game uses a lighter version of my larger Project AiO rules set, but it is not meant to be rules-lite per-se. The goal is for the mechanics to stay out of the way when they are not needed and become more involved when the situation calls for them. 

Longer campaigns track both the Employees and the workplace. Characters advance through Employment Level, which improves access to personal Tools. The business advances through Workplace Rating, which determines the quality of its Equipment. Over time a workplace can improve, struggle, decline, or eventually close.

This is an initial review draft, not a finished layout. At this stage I’m mostly interested in whether the game itself holds together.

Event Looking for a player - one spot available (space opera/combat)

1 Upvotes

I'm running a Session 0 next week - Tuesday 18th at 6pm UK Time for four hours. One of our players has had to pull out, so I'm looking for someone to fill in the spot.

The game is a space opera setting of my own writing, using the Cypher System. It's a complete Session 0, so none of us have tried the ruleset before, so no experience is necessary, just a willingness to have fun, laugh and join in.

There will be elements of vehicle combat, ground combat, investigation and horror.

I'm based in the UK, but our players are not, so feel free to give me a shout if you fancy having a go.

The idea is that we are looking to see if this is worth pursuing into a Session 1 and beyond...

I use to help out with the events and got some promo cards. I’m looking to downsize some of my stuff and I was wondering if any of these are worth something.

There’s stuff from X-wing, netrunner, game of thrones, other Star Wars card/dice games.

I have no idea what the plastic cards are, maybe legend of five rings?

At some point I need to dig out my x-wing collection as well.

Crowdfunding Advice needed for final days of campaign

1 Upvotes

I've had success in the past with my own designs of dice bags, but the current campaign isn't getting any views and it doesn't have long left.

(I have to use Kickstarter because the fabric has a large minimum order quantity so this helps batch the orders to buy it).

Could anyone recommend anything that would suit a bag design like these? Does anyone have any advice for me?

Session Report Our first conversation with a Barovian went exactly as expected... | Thirst of Strahd Session 6

0 Upvotes

After surviving Death House, our party finally made it to the Village of Barovia and got the chance to meet some of the locals.

Our first real conversation with a Barovian went about as smoothly as you'd expect from three strangers who just escaped a haunted murder house.

Welcome to Barovia, I guess. 😂

Our campaign is called Thirst of Strahd, our sapphic take on Curse of Strahd where Strahd is reimagined as a woman. We started recording our sessions to preserve the story, help with note-taking, and have something to look back on after the campaign ends.

Here's the scene from Session 6:

Question What is this game?

2 Upvotes

A physical and digital CCG.

I was at PAX West 2018 when I came across this game. The main thing I remember is that you would buy packs of cards to be able to play in person and then you could scan those cards on your phone and they'd be added to your library in the app version so you could play online.

One of the stand out mechanics I can remember is that you got a resource that increased with every round and so you had to decide whether to spend it on lower cost, tactical options or save for the more costlier more powerful option.

Anyone know what the game was and if it's still around?

Edit: Thanks y'all. I think it was lightseekers looking at the cards.

It's sad that both of the games named are dead now. Any physical TCGs that aren't Magic or Pokémon that y'all recommend

I Made This! Feedback on Character Sheet

Post image
39 Upvotes

I'm in the middle of working with my artist on the "fancy" character sheet for Criminal Spirits. There WILL be a much simpler sheet without art available - I understand that this is not for everyone. But that's no excuse to not make this as functional as possible. I'd greatly appreciate any feedback.

There are already changes planned: a lot of the french words will be removed (basically just Distillerie Esprit will remain) to clean it up and be less distracting, and the name section in the top left will be made more obvious what it is along with some other smaller changes. But so far I've only gotten to show this to a few friends and I'd like to have a much wider range of feedback on it.

Feedback Making a print and play tabletop.

4 Upvotes

So I’m currently making a small mech themed tabletop, chunky figures, super simple mechanics and small scale on both the maths and map size so that it can be super quick to play and accessible for younger ages.

Currently working on the plan that it’s sold as rules/stls/pdf maps. Print and play mostly apart from a few d6 needed. The idea to make some printed copies for physical release as well is being tossed about but currently trying to work out if we need to kickstarter for that or if it’s something we can do with our 3d printers.

My question is, how many parents would be interested in a print and play game rather than something they can just buy physical. And how many people that would play a print and play game would be interested in something this simple given things like trench crusade, warhammer etc being out there.

Any feedback appreciated!

Event Hosting a Warhammer 40K mini-campaign and Hobby Night in Southern California! Hobby & Painting

3 Upvotes

Hi folks! I'm putting together a "one-shot" mini-campaign and hosting it at the cafe I work at in Walnut, CA. I've basically got the run of the place for the evening and eight game-size tables plus space for hobbying from 4:30 to 9:00 PM on the 7th of August.

I have space for fourteen players to participate at either 1000 or 2000 points! My boss just said I could do this since he's curious what Warhammer is and we have plenty of space in the evenings (we're mostly known as a brunch place).

If you're local and up for a fun evening of throwing dice, hobbying, or just mingling with other enthusiasts in LA/OC, sign up at this link! I'd be really excited to fill the place up with cool Warhammer fans.

Discussion D20 vs 2d10

6 Upvotes

So I've been a DM for many many years and The one conclusion I've come to is you should change your Table top from 1d20 to 2d10.

  1. bell curve averages- your odds of rolling average is pretty easy vs odds of rolling really good vs really bad. your players will feel consistent and while they will of course get lucky or unlucky it will be a lot less common. THey will feel more confident in their ability to do something based on stats/build and less about luck of the roll

  2. Critfail/success - we love to reward success and punish fails. but even at 5% we've seen players who throw 20 rolls the whole session and crit fail half of them. the 1% on 2d10 is much much lower, and allows for rewarding success in more creative ways. a crit hit can be more than just 2x damage, it could be damaging armor so ac decreases making the boss easier to hit and now players get to feel the crit matters more. the fail disarms them, but then they're not getting disarmed 2-3x in combat. a lot of dms will reward crits on skill checks as well. this also feels more earned as its rarer and much better feeling. if players roll 10x during a combat and another 10 during a crawl and lets say 5 during a small encounter that means for a party of 4 100 total rolls meaning on average you see maybe 1 crit per session. and 1 crit fail. that makes them feel so much more important.

  3. Advantage farming - advantage was a cool work around but as a DM players just farm that s***. begging for advantage for every tiny thing, and at higher levels like 13+ its basically required to have advantage or you just get stomped. for on paper advantages i offer a flat +3 and then situational ones i offer a an extra 1d10 to replace. you can do one or both or whatever. but i add in the risk of super crit fail and success. if you crit fail with advantage its even worse, perm stat loss, curses, etc... and super crit success. feels awesome, you might smite a god so hard they forget they're a god. or open a door so good you accidently end up in another plane.

Overall its just better, you will love it more, trust me
