Astra Del Rey: Retro Comic Book RPG Create your own retro comic book - by writing directly into the pages

Astra Del Rey is a super unique RPG by Manny Dominguez where you tell the story by writing into a retro comic book, and I've had a chance to playtest it, and it was a lot of fun to craft a story together!

Thanks! If I’m counting correctly there are five more upcoming Mysticana expansion games that are either solo-only or feature a solo mode.

Thanks! Harbingers was a ton of fun to design! I had been playing Nine Perils on the highest difficulty and winning 90% of the games, so it was a lot of fun to throw a bag of wrenches in the works.

I’ve been doing some pixel art lately. Wrex from Mass Effect in 64x64.

Congrats to the winners! I'm very curious about how the winner handles the sensitive topic of colonization and indigenous people who were already on the land.

A couple considerations that usually stop me before I add any kind of art beyond icons:
- If my prototype needs art to draw playtesters, maybe I need work on my pitch.
- If my prototype needs art to set the tone / reinforce theme, maybe my mechanics don’t convey the theme well enough.

When I’m not designing small card games I’m designing small LEGO builds. Even classic spacemen need upgrades sometimes…

Some mechanics just need more players to thrive.

If you want to take that as a challenge, are you using a standard open auction? There are a lot of different types, some of which may work better with fewer…

I do puzzles when offline. Hashi being turned into a R&W game actually got me going on puzzle apps in the first place.
