As a tall person I cannot offer to reach something on a high shelf for a stranger, yet if they ask me I must oblige. This is the law of the giants

you might think im joking but i am not when i say that drawing this scene first immediate cemented this in my game hall of fame. it is a favorite forever. i will play it one hundred times

Caleb Zane Huett@calebzane.bsky.social · 20h ago

the first scene we drew had a nonsensical and unwinnable minigame that was both definitely an error and an incredible galaxy brain mirroring of the premise of the scene leading to automatic failure. it is now one of my favorite cards. nobi nobi is perfect even when it's messing up

Stains on the ceiling. You happen to glance upwards and you notice three strange stains on the ceiling. They almost look like they form a picture. Wait...is that a human face? Your legs are trembling with fear, you can't move a muscle, and your companions are trying to snap you out of it. Why are you so scared? Check: The main character piles up 5 dice, one on top of the other. Starting with the main character and going clockwise, the players try to take the die at the bottom of the pile without touching the pile or making it fall over. If you manage to grab all the dice, you succeed on the Check.

just a truly astonishing way to begin a game. is it a joke? is it a mistranslation? are we just awful at dice-tower-pulling? some mysteries remain elusive

architect has taken up a wonderfully large chunk of my last few months. with all that time + everything baked into alfred's original draft + everything caleb & sean have brought to its development & writing, i think we've got something reallyyy cool on our hands. let us know what you think!!! 🖤

in the happy death day episodes we essentially end up making a completely different game in each episode, & we'll hear even more unique ideas in the mechanical mailbag next week, so i'm feeling particularly good about it as the series that launches into our first game jam hahaha proof of concept !

This Should Be A Game!@thisshouldbeaga.me · 2w ago

The first-ever This Should Be a Game! Jam begins in two weeks and runs for a month-- make a TTRPG or supplement inspired by any of the movies we've covered so far, or by the conversations we've had about them on the pod!! #TSBGJam

the frequency with which i notice myself bringing this energy to game design discussions is... really something. in this episode, it specifically comes up when i basicallyyy decide to sell that actually a really thematically resonant resolution mechanic could involve texting your cousin

screencaps from the simpsons captioned "I mean, I don't want to sound pretentious here... but Itchy and Scratchy comprise a dramaturgical dyad."

Our series turning Happy Death Day into a TTRPG continues with @corpserevivers.bsky.social talking about the weight of consequences, time loop subgenre tropes, & the specific roles that a GM brings to a game 🔪

three blind men gather around my dog. the first touches the head and says "this is the head of a dog." the second touches the body and says "this is the body of a dog." the third touches the tail and says "this is the tail of a dog." they all agreed it was a dog and she loved all of them
