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:

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.

Polyhydra | A Battling Polyhedral Dice Game

Polyhydra | A Battling Polyhedral Dice Game

Polyhydras are powerful and dominating creatures. Whenever they encounter other polyhydras in the wild, they fight one another to the death to claim the surrounding territory.

Each round, players roll polyhedral dice, representing their hydra heads, dealing damage with “locked” dice, sequenced by number of sides and increasing value. Push your luck to deal more damage, risking a miss if no dice can be locked.

Blog: Print-and-Play.net

Tue, 09/08/2020 - 01:56 — Fhizban

A few days ago, I launched a new website called print-and-play.net.

Right now, it's a bit thin on the content side but that will change
over the course of the next months. The idea behind that website is to provide a free of charge download archive for the many game ideas I had in the past.

If you browse the many blog-posts and threads here on BGDF, you will notice a lot of different game ideas besides my main project Gods & Minions. Some of those projects are finished and playtested, while others are work-in-progress.

Dice App

I created a very simple dice-throwing application. I intend to use this while teaching game design online and to play simple dice games. It's made for HTML5, and so can be used in nearly any browser. It stretches or contracts to fit a screen display on computers, tablets, and smartphones.

  • Throw dice by clicking on the image of the die on the left, and the result is displayed in the dice pool to the right.
