Roleplaying Games Design

Hello there, fellow RPG designer!

If you're anything like me, you too love to discuss roleplaying game mechanics, and how they affect gameplay. That is precisely the kind of thing we'll get to do in this community. Personally, I'm currently working on a roleplaying game that I'm so far calling Unified RPG which I sort of think of as a "rules-lite, GURPS-like" TTRPG. So don't be surprised if you see me creating posts about that here in the near future.

But what about you? What brought you to this community? What kind of game are you working on, or what do you want to make in the future? I'd love to hear all about it!

I am a hobbyist game designer. I really like to read and discuss rpg. Right now I write a bi-monthly blog for my game Chronomutants where I write about what I did (as it's my most recent project) but try and discuss how others have approached similar problems or aspects of design. I just really love talking design. Since Reddit is on fire, and my blog traffic is now in the toilet, someone suggested I add Lemmy to my social media rotation. Hoping it's cool here. We'll see.

Current Favorite games: Electric Bastionland, Microscope, Agon
