All packed and ready for Gen Con! Spent a lot of this weekend prepping our "State of Games in the Cosmere" presentation, printing out character sheets for RPG demos, and punching out tokens! So many tokens.
The first (annual?) Wild Plum Game(s) Jam went really well! It was a really nice creative refresher. We made Save Scum Superstar (which really ended up more as "Roguelite with One Retry"). I'll give a full rundown in this week's dev update! In the meantime, enjoy more Horrible Max Art.
Today, I'm holding the first Wild Plum Game(s) Jam. My partner got me some wild plum jam (well, jelly) to go with the event.
Great AMA from @afischergames.bsky.social and @mericmoir.bsky.social! Tons of insight into the future of Plotweaver RPG, and how the design team has shifted some things from the Cosmere RPG. Plus, there's just some wholesomeness in the thread. Check it out!

Max Brooke@maxcbrooke.bsky.social · 2w agoToday's a very exciting day for Precipice fiction. You can read Chapters 1-5 of the Arbelos stories now! I'm also incredibly excited to present Chapter 1 of @pikorito.bsky.social's Swarmworld Arcturus! Join Maris as she explores past the safe bounds of her village and into the unknown. (Links ↓)
Swarmworld Arcturus is a very different setting from Arbelos. Where Arbelos is retro, Swarmworld Arcturus is futuristic. Where M-Traks are bulky and difficult to drive, mechafauna (fauns) are lithe and almost eerily intuitive to control. Also, fauns are quite a bit more massive than traks.

Giant robots are cool. Giant monsters are cool. Giant robots that are also giant monsters are therefore double cool. Science doesn't lie.
