In a couple of hours, I landed on mechanics that finally felt complimentary to what I had been trying to achieve.
Never be afraid to tear an idea down to the studs and rebuild.
Sometimes, it's the best way to detach yourself from the noise you e unintentionally created for yourself.
Ever find yourself working on a design for months, enjoying the overall flow of the game, and yet there was something I couldn't quite put my finger on.
So, this morning, I decided to tear it down to the core intent and try a completely new iteration of the design from the ground up.
the best part of Actual Play podcasts, to me, is getting to hear the process of making art within the art itself
I absolutely love that first photo!
I'll have to check out this game, I always love a good caper.
If you're a self proclaimed horror fiend, especially one whose into horror TTRPGs, here's an itch bundle for you!

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable
This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

Also point this out to anyone you can. These were not planned protests. These were normies getting the supplies for their weekend projects or at a restaurant and saw their servers getting hauled off and were like this is some bullshit.
