More baby steps on gameplay in-depth slide deck. I have a party of 4 PCs for this "post-catastrophe sci-fantasy" game.

Baby-step progress in my character creation and gameplay in-depth slide deck.

Char Creation/Gameplay In Depth: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Zq0_-MnbJEdXyimAUrMt7bJFAUbRAVQs4vy0qjXoNy8/edit?usp=drive_link

Cunning <-> Obscurity (how hidden the truth of the mystery is)

Power <-> Protection (how guarded the mystery is, to maintain its legitimacy)

Knowledge <-> History (how long has the mystery been in existence for, how elaborate it is, how much information is related to bolster its relevance)

Stature <-> danger (or threat, the degree to which the mystery is capable of causing people harm)

#ttrpgcommunity #WIPWednesday #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #WhyPersonae #WhyShadowlight

If we go this route, then the mystery has attributes and traits the same way characters do, only the mystery is expressed in the abstract and exists outside the fiction.

Character stats <-> mystery stats

Competence <-> sway (people are drawn in by the story of the mystery)

Prowess <-> establishment (how concrete the details of the mystery are)

Originally I didn't have anything this week for #WIPWednesday, but the brain started sparking.

Building mysteries as identities in #ShadowlightAndPersonae

Since in #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG, everything can be expressed as an identity, why not build the mystery of the session as one?

I can officially share this!
Allie with https://www.atgstudiosgraphics.com/ did an AMAZING job on my shiny new logos for Craig Hatler Games and #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG, and a refresh/vector trace of the Shadowlight logo!

Goofing off, part 5. Maybe at this point it's no longer goofing off though; maybe it's starting to look like something.

A tremendously generous contribution from an old friend now puts us over the 50% mark for a total of 64% funded ($1,271/$2000, $270 of which was provided outside of the Itchfunding campaign)!

Good morning friends & #ttrpgcommunity, please share/support! I've commissioned @raul_volp for pixel art & @GameGoddessAlx for branding thus far, with illustrations to come next.

Last night: Got the Tuesday Zoom group back together last night with a quorum of 3 to keep going with more shenanigans in space! Some pirates with a gravity well generator gambled against the "Baleful Bunch" :winkwink: & lost!

This morning is that both encounters I ran last night were boring as shit, just exchanging multiple rounds of PCs shooting at NPCs, and how I can make it better/more meaningful.

PWYW, complete, fully open under a CC license. V2 will have even more to offer; complete "official" book product eagerly anticipated in 2023!

#PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG and #ShadowlightRPG are released under http://creativecommons.org . Whatever comes of the OGL, they'll always provide rewarding #TTRPG experiences for players and GMs no matter what.

The version available on my Itch page, craighatler.itch.io, v1, is fully playable in its current state, but v2--coming soon--will provide more resources for both players and GMs, as well as clarify mechanics.

My takeaway: it made me think I want to focus on a couple of things: (1) figuring out how to help players better understand the relationship between attributes & traits, and (2) what I need to do to come up with better GM resources to provide "on the fly" opposition that wasn't necessarily prepped in advance. Whether that's stock NPCs, or something else.

Yesterday morning I ran session #1 of "How the West Was Weird" for three lovely folks over on the Trauma Bond Studios / Lost Guide Games Twitch channel. Here's the replay!
