[5 new episodes of DREAM TEAM SUPREME]
Thank you to JAFX, Ariel, Gymgrindr, Link and Mike! Welcome back, Pjotr!I owe you 30 push ups.
This week:
Wellington got flooded by intense rainwater. I am fine. My roof leaked a little bit.Winter has now arrived hard and the temperature dropped dramatically as soon as the days of heavy rain ended.
Sticker Club is getting packed for delivery now. The leaky roof did not damage stock (luckily).If you are on Sticker Knight tier or higher, I would love to hear from you:Stickers! | Collecting Addresses Now | PatreonCurrent Stats:44 responses from 178 eligible members0 letters sent
The Choplet's Dungeon expansion set for Swords: Cut The Deck is feature complete and fully arted.I am currently working with Thane, a second game designer and a UX designer to design Move cards with the rules on them. It's become a refining process of making the cards have as little text as possible and to do that we now have "Offensive" and "Defensive" as card types which cuts away explaining a lot of edge cases, without fundamentally changing the gameplay. Lots of smart people are working the problem.
If you've got a keen eye you might have also noticed that the Health banner is now subtly different from the Damage banner, Heroes Health and Swords Damage are colour coded to match the back of the card, and the characters name is highlighted in their Element colour, instead of every card having it's own bespoke colour scheme.
None of these changes make the new set incompatible with the existing set. The inclusion of 1 Gold Heroes adds some new ways to play.
I have printed out the whole expansion, so if anyone in Wellington is dry enough and would like to participate in some real-world playtesting, I'd love your feedback. Maybe a game night at BeaDnD if enough people are interested?
If you are at Auckland Armageddon this weekend, the BeaDnD table has some of my last remaining Quest Sprout plushies - go say hi.
Because of the big storm, a bit of a snuffly nose and also injuring my drawing arm, I ended up having a few off-days this week. I'll do those push-ups I promised when my upper arm stops burning every time I move it. Give it a couple of days. Also I've been snacking too much.
I hope you're all safe and well! Remember to have rest days!
