Absolutely! I'll get back later with some thoughts

But please add a healthy amount of salt, I'm no expert and also learning!

It's good to be self-critical!

I mean I can't respond right now but I'll try to get back!

p.s I'm by no means an editorial or TTRPG Layout expert, but I am a product designer so I can provide some input πŸ˜…

Another solution is Publicly available art?

But it's hard for sure, not diminishing the challenge!

But it looks good! I think you just needs a few refinements and this style can work artless perfectly!

I think page layout and visual design (type, colours, etc) more than makes up for lack of art.

Art is good to break up sections of the book or file but imo it can work w graphic design

Only issue is if you have tons of art that then just stops! Then it feels weird

I love the "guide in character sheet" #ttrpg concept for Mothership and other games doing it.

But does this mean a sheet without it makes the game inferior?

Or does this only work for "simpler" sheets?

Is there a happy medium? I am inspired by it either way!

hey, how about at some point during a big pivotal moment in your #ttrpg with an NPC, you ask your players

"So, does this NPC do a? or do they do b?"

Neither is an optional choice, just dramatic.

Go! Do it!

Interesting to see the negative response D&D 5e hacks get #ttrpg design spaces.

On the one hand, it's just a distaste for an, at best, flawed system.

On the other hand, a lot of the time 5e Hacks are pretty poor, due to the lack of experience from the hacker.

P.S I am one of those 5e hackers 😬

Based on two great other nuances, here's a take:

TTRPG sessi are actually "happenings" in the post modern art sense

they're single artistic expressions exclusive to time

Had a player state they're "enjoying the new #ttrpg game but they're more excited about our 6 year long campaign sessions"

To me this is pretty obvious, but I wonder what would the opposite mean?

I wish the new game was AMAZING but new rules, world, table and campaign needs time.

Am I wrong?

It's so funny how 90% of problems with #dnd be solved with:

Make it harder than you think your players can handle.

Considering adding "Near Miss" vs a "miss", akin to Partial Success and Full Success in our #ttrpg

Miss is <= 5 to the DC, as usual, you miss.

But a Near Miss is >5 and may add a condition, such as Off Balance or Distracted.

And this works both ways! Now a Miss won't always be missed opportunity

I'm Bringing Accuracy Back β€” Prismatic Wasteland Into the Odd famously jettisoned the β€œroll to hit” aspect of D&D derived combat. How can accuracy, specifically reducing an opponent’s accuracy by means of sand in the eyes or otherwise, be re-introdu...

If you ask someone how Into the Odd has streamlined their games, they will probably mention removing the "to hit" roll and just rolling damage.

I blasphemously ask the question: can we re-incorporate accuracy and missed attacks with Into the Odd without turning it into a major slog?

Designing levelling up as a built in sequence in our #trrpg

There's a narrative step lead by the players, followed by a roll to determine a boon tied to a background character moment, leading to actual skill selection.

Ties in with the current adventure and player background.

Not unique, but fun!

The issue with rolling dice for fun in a #ttrpg is "bad rolls", even with "failing forward" can feel like lack of control.

The irony is good rolls are also due to the same lack of control, but it doesn't feel that way!

Great my most successful post was a historical meme with minor effort.

Maybe I am just a shitposter and not actually made for #TTRPG design πŸ₯²
