@sionnachgames.bsky.socialWhy use Variable Dice instead of static bonuses?
Because we improvement to feel physical.
Going from +d4 to +d6 changes what you pick up and roll at the table, while still leaving uncertainty in the result.
Retrospect is designed around capability, not automatic success.

@sionnachgames.bsky.socialRetrospect sits at ~600 pages across its two core books.
The Player’s Handbook is written.
The Spectator’s Guide is written.
The QuickStart Guide is being edited.
Now, all that's left is to finish the game properly: editing, artwork and production.

@tombola.bsky.socialFeral Lands v0.5.14 playtesting continues! I think I'm on maybe the 7th or 8th entire overhaul of the combat, but the last 2 have actually been pretty engaging! The player were doing too well, so I think I'm nudging towards balancing territory. Onwards! #rpg #ttrpg #rpgdesign

@jaykethegm.bsky.socialWhat's up #ttrpgcommunity!
Back with another bi-weekly update for #FrontiersTabletopEngine!
This week we have 2 New Modules, covering Currency Design Systems and Downtime Projects!
I'd love if you gave it a look, or a repost, thank you all!
@carnationknight.bsky.socialFor my new game I created a trap for myself.
It's a tri-stat system, two of them are Action and Heart. But I need a third stat that covers both trap disarming and stealth WITHOUT covering general intelligence.
Currently it's Perception, but at this point I am almost okay with Subterfuge
