As an addendum to posting the first rough drafts of my town adventures system (such as it is), I though I might share a few thoughts on the design process, just in case that interests anyone else. For me it’s been a very interesting puzzle. How do you go about simulating town-based adventures? For my… Continue reading Thoughts on a Town Adventures System
This is just a quick note to regular readers, to apologize for my radio silence over the past week – I’ve been snowed under at work. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon! Happy gaming to all (when you can grab some time for it!)
