  1. 🎲🧐 Wow, breaking news! Apparently, Native Americans were rolling dice before it was cool—12,000 years ago! Meanwhile, NBC News struggles to load on outdated browsers because, you know, the Stone Age and IE 11 are practically the same thing. 🤦‍♂️✨

  2. Time to reveal my duel of the week!

    A microgame I played last year is back on my table, and it’s refusing to leave.

  3. We did two games at 2 players, six games at 3 players, and two games at 4 players tonight. All in all that leaves me at 16 playtesting sessions so far.

    It felt solid even at higher player count. Needs more testing of course, but I am pretty confident. Endgame might need some tweaking though since one player (same player) ended up dominating every time, and, to quote my fellow player who didn't win, "fucking aphids, man".

  4. I brought my game to work yesterday and managed to squeeze in two separate plays with two separate coworkers.

    The consensus from both, individually was (paraphrasing) "At first glance this seemed like a kids game or entry family game to me because the rules are very simple, but once I figured out what's what come second round I realized just how many decisions I had to consider before making my first move."

    Will try with more players on new year!

  5. i had a random idea coming out of nowhere last night and finished a new design. we've only tried it on two players but it does feel pretty good already. hopefully it will scale to three or four players! maybe even five!

    basically, it's a rules light shedding game using dice and with interactive mechanics. from our initial testing, it requires just enough thought to make it interesting but not overbearing, perfect for casual play!

    My friend @joshdrewhardmusic has this YT music making gameshow CHANCE JAMS and I think it's super fun to watch music created, especially fun for sensory seekers. Check it out: youtu.be/lzHFIxSPC_Q?feature=s

  8. Abomination 3
    Ink art from page 28 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules book

    Each Abomination will have 1d2 flaw mutations, 1d3 minor mutations, and 1d4+2 prime mutations from the mutation determination lists starting on page 228, which includes mutations from this book and the hub rules. Likewise, each abomination gets one or more features on each of the following series of tables to establish its senses, gender and reproductive capacity, body structure, locomotion, appendages, and miscellaneous abomination aspects.

  9. Abomination
    Art from page 25 of The Mutant Epoch RPG Expansion Rules book
    Originally grown in vats, abominations are mutant miscreations who were designated with alpha-numeric identities: a mix of manufacturer’s code, batch number, purpose, and quality and were initially mindless, group thinking, slavish followers of a collective. Those gifted with fertile genitalia bred with other foul, unlikely scientific mistakes and oddities to form a new line of independently minded creatures.
    Present day scribes and researchers have uncovered only a few pre-collapse names for these ghastly miscreations, such as blobs, rubber devils, fleshies, globulurs, gobbies, dough monsters, and flesh puddings.

  10. Knucklebones for the PICO-8!

    I loved playing this minigame in Cult of the Lamb so much that I remade it myself to play on my Miyoo Mini. I hope you enjoy it as well!

  11. Just had a quick game of Qwinto, a dice game, that I liked much better. You have to fill up your columns in ascending order without having any duplicates either horizontally or diagonally. You can roll 1, 2 or 3 dice of any of the 3 colours and add the total to the columns of the colours you used. You get bonus points for filling columns and minus points for not being able to out a number down. Tactical and fun and pretty short.

  12. With #DiceFolk I was almost certain I’d like it – and didn’t get disappointed! I’ve a soft spot for tactical, #TurnBased games, and this one certainly has the potential to become one of the staples of the genre! A bit on the easy side, but for a demo that’s probably the right choice. It’s a #DiceGame where you control the order in which the dice take effect – both for yours and the enemy one's. Battles are fought in teams of three, so proper positioning and thinking ahead are a must. :)

  13. For context, I have long used various #oracles, #GenerativeTools and other, similar resources as a source of inspiration and structure. I have a #DiceGame I created to determine all the basics of a sing: key, tempo, etc. I use Eno's #ObliqueStrategies constantly. And of course in #modular I use stuff like #TuringMachines and the #rungler all the time. This let me use a similar approach with titles/themes.

  14. The last few board games I have played have all been great fun and all Two Player (although #MarvelDiceThrone can be played with teams of two).

    #Senso is super simple, but full of strategy, Dice Throne is lots of fun and has some great moments between the different characters. #Radlands is just superb with limited resources, some cool card synergy and fantastic #MadMax meets #Cyberpunk style artwork.

    I can recommend them all.
