Along the Open Road by Thorne :Þ A storytelling road trip TTRPG experience for 3-5 players

While you're waiting on After the Calamity, why don't you check out my other TTRPG, Along the Open Road?

>Simple storytelling TTRPG about going on a road trip
>Each player gets to run at least one session
>The whole trip is planned in advance
>Easy to play, fun to learn
>There's a fishing minigame

As an extra little sneak peek, I'm loving being able to bring creative writing to a TTRPG rulebook. I've missed having the energy to create like this.

As well as being an introduction to After the Calamity, I would like to consider this an obituary for Project: Kingdoms.

The struggles of not having a single artistic bone in your body--

I made a draft for the character sheet! Maybe I'll pretty it up a bit soon, or at least make it look less... corporate.

#ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #afterthecalamityttrpg #afterthecalamity

I've taken on an insane task here of writing a minimum of 5 roles for every combination of these skills. That's 125 roles *at minimum*-- I feel insane for doing this.

A screenshot of a TTRPG that reads "There are six stats: Might Agility Knowledge Spellweaving Instinct Charm By the end of session, your highest two stats will be your Major and Minor stats. From these two stats, the GM will show three possible roles for you to choose from. The role you choose will dictate how you help the kingdom rebuilding efforts."

The stats are in! This is also an sneak peek at what Session 0 is going to be like 👀👀

Here's something very fun! I've actually melded my current game about the end of the world with another game I've been making for years, a kingdom management TTRPG, and I think I'm about to start on an actual full TTRPG again!

More info to come!

Time to reveal the name of the new game! Say hello to "The Fall of Life: A Play in Two Acts". And, yes, by all means, this game could also be adapted into a play by the time you're done writing!

The first draft has officially begun! This isn't going to be exactly how it will be when you read it; it's just so I can kinda get the rules down. How do we feel about the numbers in brackets?

I HAVE RETURNED TO THIS ACCOUNT! And I'm announcing a new project! Working title for now is Project: Armageddon. It's a solo journalling ttrpg in which you'll play as an entity learning the history of worlds that have been lost to apocalypse... #ttrpg #ttrpgdev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev

#Superman might just be the greatest movie I have seen in a long time, if not maybe ever. It's not often a movie makes me react the way Superman did. A masterclass of cinema. I'm very excited to see what comes next.

Also Guy Gardner my beloved.

There really is no solution to this and so I just have to keep playing on Xbox and try not to fund them as much as possible (which is impossible if you're on the Xbox platform), or just don't play video games.

I'm tired, man.

Like, I could move to PS5, but then I need to rebuy all my main games and I lose all my custom creations for games that have them.

I could move to PC but my laptop isn't great and a rig is far too expensive and I don't have the space for it.

And Switch 2? The less I say about that, the better.

I'm not having fun being a fan of video games right now.

Xbox is my main platform, but with MS's focus on AI and firing 9k staff members while cancelling big projects, I don't want to play Xbox anymore. But it costs so much to move platform. The only real solution is, don't game. #gaming #rant

Woah it's been two months-- I have been suffering from heavy creative burnout with tabletop games, I won't lie, but I'm back! And I'm finally tackling my dream project, Project: Kingdoms!

Overall score for Wrestlemania 41 Night 1 - ⭐⭐⭐.5

The matches at the start of the show hugely killed the hype for me, as did the great number of ads that were incorporated in entrances and celebrities shown. But with Fatu winning the US title and the last two matches, I can't say I left unhappy.

CM Punk vs Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This. Is. Wrestlemania. What a match. The drama, the storytelling, the performances from all the guys in the ring. And those last few moments from Paul Heyman. What a night. Excited to see where everybody goes from this!

Tiffany Stratton (c) vs Charlotte Flair - ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I do not like Charlotte Flair. I'll be the first to say that she's a nepo baby. But, man, she put on a great match with Tiffy here. Looks like Tiffy chipped her tooth part way through the match, but the blood added a little something to it. Great match

El Grande Americano vs Rey Fenix - ⭐⭐

I fell asleep during this match. This wasn't the fault of the match, I'm in the UK. But it could not keep me awake at all. To be fair, it was very last minute, with Mysterio's injury being the night before, but Fenix deserved better for his first Mania match.

LA Knight (c) vs Jacob Fatu - ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5

Listen, the moment these two guys were put in a match together, it was obviously going to be a banger. These two did not fail to deliver. This was the wake-up match, the first match to feel like a Mania match. Congratulations to Jacob Fatu for the win!

Jade Cargill vs Naomi - ⭐⭐⭐

Since Jade got to WWE, I've been rooting for her a lot, but she'd consistently let me down. This match showed the Jade Cargill I've been waiting for. She did great and Naomi was amazing as always, loving her character. This match could have used a stipulation, though.

New Day vs War Raiders (c) - ⭐⭐.5

Listen, I love both these teams and Ivar did his best to get the crowd hyped, but this match never had the build it needed to be as great as it could have been. Should have put the MCMG TLC match here instead.

Ivar deserves a midcard singles title push though.

Jey Uso vs Gunther (c) - ⭐⭐

I knew going in that Jey was going to win but I held out hope that the GOAT could clutch out a victory. Instead, Jey dominated most of the match with weak offence and then tapped out Gunther in 3 seconds with a weak submission. Maybe one of the worst Mania title matches.

Just finished watching #Wrestlemania41 Night 1, think I'm gonna do a little review thread to get some thoughts out. Be sure to let me know your thoughts in the replies too and what your match of the night was!

Also, it may be obvious, but heavy spoilers ahead, including pictures

It has been a *while* since I posted but I've been very busy. Managed to playtest Bookers yesterday and it went really well! We had a great gameplay session where I was told it wasn't actually as complicated as I thought it might be, which helped boost my confidence a lot. Expect the game soon!

While I'm going to be playtesting Bookers soon, I've also been thinking of what I want to do next, and I have a very big project in mind...

An (unofficial) Viva Pinata TTRPG!!

Obviously, it'll be completely free, but it might encourage me to start a Patreon...

#indiedev #solodev #ttrpgdev

I've not posted any updates in a while, but I promise I'm still working on Bookers! Hit a bit of a snag with working out mechanics, so I'm going to be playtesting next week with a few friends!

I've gotta say, I'm loving the Nintendo Today! app. It even surprised me by wishing me a happy birthday!
