@mrmaster9801 11 месяцев назад

I hope this "July indipendent rpg month" takes momentum and becomes an habit, because it's very useful for the community. As for the games you've talked about, I'm very curious about the guides (more specifically the one about drawing maps, since I'm not very good at it) and the scipunk anthology (could come in handy, expecially since I've got more fantasy stuff than scifi one on my rpg shelf).

I'm running JP Coovert's awesome campaign, Flik Silverpen's Guide to Dragon Town, and I love his videos and art style so much! He really captures the way I see DnD in my head, and his campaign is creative and super fun. Highly recommend his videos and campaign books as well as his drawing guides!

Mad respect for this video. Of everything mentioned I was really only aware of the Dark of Hot Springs Island. I will wind up purchasing at least a few of these, if not all. We need more videos like this discussing, reviewing and promoting independent work and artists!

@MemphiStig 10 месяцев назад

To me, JP is carrying on in the "art can be fun and easy" style I learned as a kid from the books of Ed Emberley. And he applies it to game design as well. He's great to watch and an excellent example to follow. He fits right in with the modern rules-light style of rpg's. (We'll call it gaming's minimalist period someday.) Congrats on your own game's success btw. Love it too! #edemberley

SciPunk what now? Vein of science fiction? Fully color illustrated melee-suitable version? Oh no...hmm, is there a link to where I might...oh drat, there is. More seriously, thanks so much for covering an SF offering. I'm a backer of yours but my main interest is scifi ttrpgs, which gets a little less attention. Was so great to hear you've gotten some great value from the Sci Punk book.

Would a once popular ttrpg that was mismanaged into obscurity count as an indie? I’m a World of Darkness fan who has come back to the ttrpg scene after a 20+ year absence and my favorite setting isn’t doing so hot. Otherwise great vid and it’s amazing how humble you are despite having a runaway success of a Kickstarter. Long live Shadowdark! :)

@TheArcaneLibrary 10 месяцев назад

It's been wild to see the ups and downs in the World of Darkness games over the decades. I hope they make a solid comeback and double down on their best hits! Vampire: the Masquerade was such a standout!

Thanks for the video. Would Dark of Hotspring Island work with most game systems, or is it designed to work better with specific systems?

@TheArcaneLibrary 11 месяцев назад

They leave the stats out for creatures so you can easily plug-and-play from your system of choice. :) But I'd say the overall mentality of the encounters and exploration are best suited for an OSR-style game where you might need to flee from powerful foes you encounter!
