For the Brindleverse Triptych, I'm hard at work building a layout design system for creators' open use. It'll allow anyone to produce a short-form Carved from Brindlewood game that's visually on par with the official releases. 🧵

Y'all. So much of graphic design is just: "Is this readable?" If the text is an appropriate size, with adequate space, margins and contrast from the background, you're halfway there. After that, just please stop jamming so much stuff on one page. Let me breathe.

okay I have now also read through the judge nominees' profiles and briefly internet-stalked them, so! I think I will be voting for Seraphina Garcia Ramirez, Melissa Lewis-Gentry, Janice Cheng, Aurelien Laroulandie, and Hector Alejandro Perez Gonzalez as judges, in something close to that order

ENNIES VOTING THREAD unsure of your opinions? need reassurance that your takes are correct? discord in need of an emergency discourse injection? here's who I'm voting for and why #ThotLeader

Fundamentally disagrees that games should be played to know how they run. This is is the same type of dipshittery as saying, "Playtesting is unnecessary, as my designs are always perfect". Dude thinks he's more capable than then entire RPG industry because they play it to see how it runs.

Comment from Reddit from someone who posted a RPG review about a game they didn't play.

Text Reads: "I know Seth Skorkowsky and some other reviewers believe things should be played before they’re reviewed to see how they run at the table, but I fundamentally disagree with that. I know for a fact that I can make anything a blast to play at my table for my players. The question is how much effort will it take to make it a blast for them, and to RUN at the table, and that is very easy to know by reading it.

If that doesn’t ring true to your experience then just treat it as any other book review since it is at base a book I have read"

5 titres en lice sont français... Et on a même un profil français parmi les candidatures pour devenir jury. Je dis ça, je dis rien ;)
