“You’re Wrong”

This is a brief version of why some people are inevitably going to disagree with you if you write a blog or column - or create a YouTube Channel.

December 09 2022 Dymino Monsters Update

Just posting this here for future reference as I have done for more than several months this year of 2022.

This morning December 09, 2022 I finally written down the last characters' backstory to Piotr Angiom.

All 24 playable character backstories are hand written complete.

Same with the Rise of the Titans reference lists.

Now to work on each individual reference for :

For the Height , Weight and Movement for each Titan I rolled the following:

Height : 1d4 , 1d6
Weight : 1d100 , 1d20
Movement : 1d10

G.I. Joe — Hand of Fate: New start with an amazing concept

So I have been working, here-and-there, on a NEW "design" which could potentially have like up to 8-Players in a game or perhaps more where the only real barrier is the TIME taken to PLAY the game. Right now the goal is 60 minutes or 1 hour.

And I have to admit, I'm fairly excited about this game also!

Using offline Deck-Construction, each player builds his deck of 15 Units and 3 Structures for a total of 18 cards per Deck.

November 25 2022 Dymino Monsters Update

I've been working on the following:

Dymino Monsters: Rise of the Titans and Birth Reign Second Era Titans Encyclopedia the last several days.

The Encyclopedia has a Part 1 and Part 2 which includes just as the title reads.

Both parts has a table of contents, and introduction (not written yet) the names for each encounter and notes.

I am still working on the Piotr Angioms' backstory.

All 11,000 prototype index cards are finally written for the entire game.

I'm still working on the chapter deck stories, novels, production manuscripts.

Crystal Heroes: Fine-tuning and Development of the game

While I waste more time waiting for the DESIGN to "crystalize" (pun intended!) I find that I am developing the game further such that some aspects of the game are no longer "remote" or "esoteric" areas of the design.

One of those "areas" was the Ex-P Crystals. There had been an issue about these specific Crystals because they can be used with Actions to make some POWERFUL decisions impacting your turn a bit.

Oct. 31 2022 Dymino Monsters Update

I am currently at 4 playable characters weapon skill technique sets left to complete. I just finished the fifth one out of the eleven sets this early morning at 5:53 am.

Once I'm complete all of the card sets, I will give my thank yous and thought process on the response I have generously received from you all about my future in game design.

Thank you for taking the time to read my updated blog.

Jesse

My future in game design

After I complete Dymino Monsters a game if been working on for 18 1/2 years and 33 other board , card and dexterity games in the the 24 years of my life, I think deep down in my heart it will probably be the last game I'll ever develop. So, 34 games will be my limit. I was striving to develop/ design create what have you, up to 100 games, but I'm okay with 34 games in my portfolio. I will be, hopefully figure out how to get these games self publish one day.

I'm just letting you all know.

Dymino Monsters Update October 15 2022

Dymino Monsters Update:

Early yesterday morning I worked on Armarius' weapon skill technique cards.

I have edited the set from 82 cards to 71 cards.

Armarius uses the Boomerang as his main weapon of choice. As with all of the characters they can use other offense and defense weapons through out their travels in TriiDorium.

Armarius is primarily a close combat defense technician and long range technician due to using the Boomerang.
