Content

After a great playtest session last night, I recorded a design diaries video to talk through some of the big topics that came up and the adjustments I made during play that I'll be solidifying into the next draft of the rpg.

Sneak peak: I talk about reward/resource systems in the game, how they interact with other key campaign-scale systems, and a couple of other things like entanglements and xp.
