#TTRPGs, as game systems, are sort on inimical to making the kinds of profits that large corporations like Hasbro are looking for. A good #RPG system is a durable good that doesn't really need to be "upgraded" or "replaced", once a good, balanced set of rules is developed, and that's why the profit potential for the core game is limited.

That being said, the possibilities for setting, scenario, and session are limitless in terms of profitable, licensable IP and goods.

Tabletop design tip. How players and game masters actually use your rules is more important than your actual rules.

Players will notoriously assume a lot about your game just by looking at the character sheet without reading anything.

New GM's will not remember every niche ruling, so keep it as intuitive as possible. If the intuitive way to play your game sucks, regardless of the actual rules the game will suffer.

I just made update 1.5 for the brochure which contains Lovecraftian inspirations taken from the real life mythologies, folklore, history and science. You can use these concepts in Your own book/game/movie and don't have to reward or mention me in any way.

It is available here, for free: adeptus7.itch.io/lovecraftian-

I invite You to take a look and discuss.

After I started my first #IT job (and created my Digital Ocean VPS at that time) I decided to create kind of character card for myself, like in #RPG, for writing down my #sysadmin skill levels and progress. I did it in Postgres, probably because database container was one of first things I had on my VPS then.

I created slightly complex system of arbitrary skill and knowledge points, trying hard to not overestimate my skill levels. Like in standard games there are bigger gaps between higher levels and separate "overall sysadmin level" with own points, indirectly dependent on skills' levels' upgrades (and more directly on other kind of knowledge points). Many things are highly relative here as it is not possible to accurately describe own degree of knowledge in numbers. Also some kind of skills could have more "levels" (e.g. familiarity with more complex software learned gradually with time) than others. I have point scale for 10 levels now. And I am almost sure I wouldn't reach higher than 6-7 "overall sysadmin level" in my lifetime :blobcatsweat:

I didn't update it since October 2023. Today I log in and tried to clean that mess. I feel I should make short paper notes about my progress frequently, like I was doing in previous job. Updates would be easier...

Mid-Week Castrovel Inspiration
Artist: Julia Tar

So, unlike this pic, I don't believe Lashunta feel the need to anthropomorphize the milktrees they worship. For one thing, carving such a shape into the tree bark and wood would be traumatic and likely induce it to stop producing milksap.

However, nothing would stop Lashunta from sybolicially depicting such a head in an artistic representation, such as this.

📢📢📢 HEADS UP: We are changing Cyber Knights' launch date to June 2nd!

store.steampowered.com/news/ap

We have an unexpected opportunity on Steam ☝️ that could really boost our launch, but it requires this 18-day shift. We're sorry for making you wait a little longer / changing plans! Announcing ASAP for as much notice as possible.

Full release is a critical event we have to make sure we maximize; hope you'll understand this is ultimately good news for the game & its future! 🙏
