You're kind of dumb. It doesn't really work as a depowering joke if it's completely indistinguishable from a bigoted comment
RPG design skills
A lot goes into making a game, and each game and designer has a different mix of focus and needs for their games. Off the top of my head we have: world building, rules creation, technical and prose writing, art, layout and visual design, feedback and iteration, promotion and marketing, and community support skills.
Collaboration and contracting are good ways to make up for weaknesses, but so is practice and patience.
So what are you best at? What are you working on improving?
A game jam from 2023-07-16 to 2023-08-19 hosted by Unknown Dungeon. The biggest tabletop game jam is back again for another year, with the 2023 One Page RPG Jam ! This jam is about making new, one-page table-top role-p...
I thought I'd share this since it's running for the next month. Both one page RPGs and game jams are a great way to get something creative done quickly. They're especially nice as a breather from larger progress projects.
I don't have anything that needs an editing pass right now, but I would be happy to take a look anyway!
I don't mind it for some informational posts but for some communities it makes zero sense. Like I saw a ton of "am I the Asshole" bot reposts, where the point of the content is to engage with the OP. I can't think of anyone that would want that as just a repost.
AnyDice: A useful website for calculating dice rolling distributions and odds
AnyDice is an advanced dice probability calculator, available online. It is created with roleplaying games in mind.
I'd definitely suggest reading the articles and playing around with the tool a bit. Knowing the likelihood of different dice outcomes has been super helpful for me to do things like tailoring loot tables to include item rarity. I thought it might be useful to others as well.
Wow. What an ass
I couldn't get through book two. I made it like 2/3 then read a summary
Not really! I think it's just that I'm always trying to find something new. A lot of the music that I enjoy now I would have hated as a teen, and having listened to a bigger range of genres and styles has kind of killed most musical nostalgia for me.
I can't think of anything I won't give at least a chance to, and I've built up a muscle where I give more consideration to music that I initially bounce off of. There's a reason that somebody likes it, so I try to find that and listen from that perspective.
My taste in music is still changing. I will love a band or genre deeply for about six months before moving on to something else
You can try noise canceling headphones, or a loud uneven white noise generator (though that's not super great for fireworks)
