R's boyfriend came over last night, necessitating a quick trip to the grocery store to buy more burgers. But I didn't engage with him when he asked about the #boardgame I had set up at the dining room table (Vagrantsong). He also asked about my ROG Ally. He's a gamer, so he was interested in the Windows handheld. But I wasn't feeling very interactive, so I didn't elaborate, which made me feel bad. Hopefully, I can make it up to him soon.

I also wanted to include YT video links on recent updates or for #BoardGames I've gotten back to the table recently, since I sometimes do videos for #games I do not write about. Links are for the BURST versions, all lasting between 2 and 4 minutes.

Another recurring idea for a #musicGame is to separate playing music and doing in-game moves. You basically join the music when it's not your turn.

The game may have any turn-based mechanics, but its #tabletop representation should yield itself well to musical interpretation.

This is a design area with hopes for great complexity, some #eurogame-adjacent potential. But arguably, musical #improvisation may cover any #boardgame...

Gestern zum Spaß noch einmal einfach im Playstation-Store geschaut. Folgenden Hit gibt es ebenfalls, als Playstation 5 Portierung für wenig Geld zu haben. Bin etwas gewillt, diese zu kaufen. Sind schon verdammt tolle spiele.

#gameDesign #gameDev insight:

backerkit.com/c/projects/shado is launching a #TTRPG based on the #terraformingMars #boardGame

It focuses on building infrastructure, building ecosystems (even if in a techno-solutionist way) and generational play, seeing the changes over decades and centuries. I would love to use it as a base for #solarpunk #games .

So WHY does the quickstart feature combat rules, but not social conflict rules?

Can we really imagine, focus on nothing else than shooting each other?

BackerKitTerraforming Mars - the official TTRPGBased on the award-winning board game Terraforming Mars and officially licensed by FryxGames, Terraforming Mars the tabletop role-playing game takes the board game experience to the next level.
