Wade D (Fragged ttRPG)

And the next adventure begins! I've just launched the pre-launch page for my gothic horror (and very Bloodborne-like) ttRPG: Fragged Aeternum 2 (link in comments) 🔥👻⚔️ My hope is to launch mid year (and once we have enough signups).

I'm looking for people to help me playtest Fragged Cosmos board game 😃 We use Discord + Tabletop Simulator. If you're interested, please send me a DM 😁

This is every indie author when they get one sale.

@MapEffects Oh, I like this one!

Yes, it’s all hand drawn.

This months STL miniature - Kaltoran Vagabond - will go out on the 4th!

In 5min I will be live with Mildra on Twitch! twitch.tv/mildrathemonk

@AeresChronicles For me, I think RPGs are at their best when they maximize player agency and consequences. I like to stay away from railroading and carrot-and-stick GMing styles.

DM advice that so thoroughly ruined an entire generation of D&D that the company is slowly discontinuing their own product. It's taken years for new gamers to shake off their stupor, and they might not fully recover. #dnd

I just backed D.O.R.F. - Oldschool real-time strategy and base-builder on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/dorf/…

@Lugger_Art Depends on the artistic eye of your client. I'm regularly telling my team to spend less time on their thumbnails (and give them this example of being too much detail) to give more time to the final image. But average people are going to appreciate your standard.

Looking for Art Directors advice here (any advice is welcome tho) Are this kind of first sketches to lose? I usually like to send this kind of sketches to my clients to know what vibe are you looking for, but Im not sure if I should work on them more or this is enough

Sending out the Adventure PDF (and slightly updated versions of the FK2 Rules and Setting books) right now. Give it 5min to come through.

Let’s make a deal - if this caught your attention, you press follow💫

@PapayouFR Attention caught! Follow gained :D

@WePlaytestGames Do you do tabletop games?

We need more games to playtest! If you haven't yet had your game playtested by us, drop a link below and we'll check it out.

Test prints for the Fragged Kingdom 2 books just arrived from the printers! These are going to be spectacular books, and I cant wait to sit them alongside my FE2 Books on the shelf 😁

@SamSantala I've been hoping more of this would happen. Grab some great talent and then go make some stuff. Though its going to be hard when you need hire, and when you end up doing more management jobs than the stuff you like. Hit me up if you're looking to make an RPG of some kind.

Posted on LinkedIn last night, woke up to several hundred notifications, friends requests, etc. Seems I struck a nerve in the industry by saying I wanted to create my own projects and not be at the mercy of execs. It's going to have to be smaller studios and smaller projects.

@Gingerblast I have no problem with this. If smart PCs can bypass monster with clever tactics then just let them have the win. BUT.... this does prompt a worldbuilding question, how do Basilisks avoid killing themselves when they drink from a still river?

The defeated GM weeps through clenched teeth as he scrawls "20 more basilisks" into his campaign notebook

@Clint_Davey1 I hope so, but its still a LOT of work to put yourself out there and find those who are looking for what you make :)

If you are designing a game, or writing a Substack, or making a podcast, or some other creative endeavour - you are competing against a non-stop barrage of short-form slop beamed into people's eyeballs round the clock. The good news is - people are rapidly getting sick of the slop and are still seeking out quality, detailed, rich "content" that they can spend hours on and really get into. You're not competing against the slop. You're making something totally different. Just do it well and people will find it.

@PlatinumWoW654 A bit anecdotal, but I feel like Sci-Fi > Fantasy in the world of miniature games. Not in terms of interest, but in terms of people willing to spend $$. Those into fantasy spend less and more are locked into older/existing games in a way that sci-fi gamers are not.

There is a Starcraft miniatures wargame coming out... But if they released a Warcraft version with the four playable factions in W3 I would spend 10 gabillion dollars on it... just saying.

@ill_Scholar 100% I've done some Larping, and it feels so healthy and friendly. Lots of running around outdoors, indoor crafting, and lots of socializing.

"Larpers", live action roleplayers, got mocked so hard That their name was exported to greater culture to metaphorically describe people in MANY situations But I see people.... Nerds, being active, going outside and socializing Not my thing but I think it's a net good for society

My wargame is looking great :D
