    Monster Keep — Revisiting an older design

    Sat, 10/03/2020 - 18:13 — questccg

    I've had a bit of "free time". Or more so what to do with this "EXTRA" time. I was discussing with @Fhizban different Archon concepts as he too seemed interested in developing an "Archon Board Game". Meanwhile I was exploring a Card Game ... And it didn't have anything SPECIAL. There was really nothing unique with this Card Game...

    Battle Pencils for The Pitch Project 2020

    Mon, 09/28/2020 - 10:13 — JewellGames

    This will be my personal blog for all thing Battle Pencils, including my experience with The Pitch Project 2020. This publisher event has finally forced me to create a sell sheet for my game. In other blog entries, I will discuss my game's full battle system, why I designed the pencil layout the way I did, suggested set release schedule, etc.

    Here is my most current sell sheet submitted to The Pitch Project:

    Online Dice Game: Hungry Jack

    Tue, 09/22/2020 - 21:59 — let-off studios
    Screen shot of an online version of the "Hungry Jack" dice game - or toy.

    So I made a digital version of a classic dice game for a virtual workshop on game design. The game - if you want to consider it one - is called Hungry Jack. It's roots rest somewhere deep in European antiquity.

    You can play it here. It's made with HTML5 and works in nearly any web browser:

    https://let-off.neocities.org/games/hjack/index.html

    To play, click the mouse on the "click here to play" button. When in the game, click on the "Throw Dice!" button or press the SPACEBAR when it's your turn.

    SpellMasters — Just wrapped up the Monster Micro Deck composition

    Mon, 09/21/2020 - 22:29 — questccg

    One of the remaining aspects of the game (and I'll admit that the design is 80% done) was the Monster Battle Decks. Obviously the Monster Compendium is not fully written ... Never-the-less I managed to hash out thirteen different types of "Attacks" and realized that some may "recycle" and others may get "discarded" when their action(s) play out.

    What remains to do is COMPLETE the "Monster Compendium" that comes with the game. That BOOK will contain ALL the enemies that you can battle. Of course you can expand the game and "invent" new or "mod" existing Monsters.
