  5. No work done on the Nox Engine today but I haven't done a word count in a while so...

    32.6 thousand words so far

    Still need to do the social mechanics (Speech!), the antagonist section, GM advice, and finish the Talents, not necessarily in this order

    So plenty of words left

  6. Got some time to work on the Nox Engine TTRPG today; still implementing the Prosperity system to replace the Wealth system 💰

    Revision of the crafting mechanics is complete, and updating the cost levels of equipment 👍

    Stray references may still remain 😱

    And Talents are still not done 🤦‍♂️
    Personally, I think it is smarter to make the base mechanics first before making the options that mess with said mechanics 🤷‍♂️😅

  7. It is so fun looking through the #SRD I've been working on for the #NoxEngine #TTRPG and getting to the various systems that get me going like, what the hell was I thinking when I wrote this?

  9. Finished writing about and over 20 minor spells for the #NoxEngine, which I think should be enough to get a game going.

    Also planning to make some moderate spells and major spells, but next I'm going to focus on revisiting the commerce system to buy equipment; I would like it to be less about financial management and maybe somewhat more abstract 🤷‍♂️

    Will have to look into it
    #TTRPG #GhotiGames

  10. I enjoy making up spells that play with the #NoxEngine systems

    In NE, you have a pool of Action Points and some spells mess around with that, either giving you bonus actions or forcing you to use your actions

    Fights! take place in zones or fields within the battlefield, and some spells interact with that, like a firebomb that affects everyone in the same zone

    I love how things are coming together 😁🧙‍♀️
    #TTRPG #GhotiGames

  11. The caster can use part of their action to unleash the paradox dice and roll them for a Paradox Effect.

    Why use action? Because it means the player must choose between accumulating more paradox or be less effective in the round to suffer a lesser effect.

    I kinda like this system because it means a game could see some extended spell slinging action 😁👍🧙‍♀️

    (Will work on it some more though)
    (4/4 fin)

  12. As much as I'd like the Nox Engine to include a modular magic system, I just don't think I can manage it without making it too complicated, so I think I'll have to scrap and start over

    Or specifically, set the previous aside in case I want to use it later 😅

    Anyway, I think I will base the new magic system on Control and give it a sort of health-like system

  13. #NoxEngine word count: 29.7k words

    Finished the Journeys chapter of alpha #SystemReferenceDocument and I can feel how my mind is just melting away.

    Still need to work on the Social mechanics but I'm not sure it'll be as in-depth as the previous chapters, at least not yet. Have some ideas though.

    After that, just need to write up some Talents, but it might be a good idea to #PlayTest first 🤔

    Anyway, PROGRESS MADE!!

  15. I think I've taken the #NoxEngine way further into the realm of complicated than I was planning 😬

    Crunch can be great fun at times though, but I think the mechanics need a little trimming

    ...just a little

  16. Right now I'm kinda thinking "So what if it's all shit? Put in all the shitty mechanics and then cut out what doesn't work during play test" 🤷‍♂️

  18. Part of how character creation works (currently) in the #NoxEngine is that you choose two Destinies, which affect your Edge dice, which Skills are your favoured, and what Talents you can learn. This creates YOUR destiny, which you can name and stuff

    You could, for example, put together 2 Destinies, Scoundrel and Speaker, and make Spy your personal destiny

    This is all well and good, but it isn't very inspiring stuff when making your character, is it?

  35. In the #NoxEngine, Stamina is used as a Trait that covers both fatigue and how much you can carry (load). The heavier load you carry, the less fatigue you can take before you become exhausted

  36. 3 more copies to sell before I'll add 5 more community copies!

    In Expeditioners, you play as Dwarfs trying to survive and save your civilization in the Underground

  37. With 4 hours left, I thought I'd give a small taste of how fighting will work in #NoxEngine, at least in its current (untested) incarnation

    An important tactical element in the Nox fighting system is the use of actions; you have a bunch

    How many actions relies on the highest of 3 Traits, so a mental focused character can also have a bunch of actions

    You'll have at least 2 and at most 6 (probably)

    You split your actions between Simple Actions, Complex Actions, and Reactions

  38. Journeys was my latest #DevLog post for #NoxEngine (see ⬆️) but what should I tell you about in the next log?

    Check a short description in the replies ⬇️
    #TTRPG #indieTTRPG #GhotiGames

  39. The thing I was looking for was a note I wrote 5 years ago about a crafting system for a game I was working on, since the Nox Engine is based on that same game

    It essentially splits the process up into 3 parts: material, size, and complexity

    Size determines the time unit (hours, days, etc.) while material (malleable, soft, hard, etc.) determines how many of those units apply

    Complexity ups the Mark, which determines if time is doubled or the design is flawed

  40. Logged back onto my Evernote account and found a bunch of #TTRPG design notes

    Now, nobody is safe! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
