Julebord! With RoboRally!

Oh believe me, I've read it 😆
But 10/10 as a bookmark experiment, even beautifully designed, like all your stuff.

I'm struggling to find the game here, you read and you keep count of the words (random), roll dice (random) what's the choice?

Don't get me wrong I love the concept and the fact that you crammed it in a bookmark. But I'm failing to see the 'game' here. I need help.

What are the rooms?

That comment mentioning scouting the adjacent hexes. *Chef kiss* these inspire me to get going!

Some days I feel like 30 trillion cells in a trenchcoat, running around tasks, trying to feel human.
@johngreensbluesky.bsky.social I think you might appreciate it.

Or maybe I have missed some piece of information along the way and this is snowballing into a misinterpretation of your argument!

I see Narrative and the Story as different concepts, mechanisms such as a map and how that map is presented affects the narrative, but not necessarily the story. The main use of mechanisms are to drive the type of narratives you want in a story.

Picking up the narrative argument. Wouldn't you think that a hex/square grid and its pacing constrains the story in a different way than the others?
I can see that wave/sky crawl are obvious nodes, but the pacing of a grid makes it slightly different. (Given there's not a most efficient path)

I'm sensing that maybe the issue comes from "I have a hex map, and I need node movement for certain things". Maybe node to hex is easier than hex to node!

So each grid, node, hex serves a different moving purpose, for pacing and information scattering. The tools are there to serve the narrative. Everything is nodes, but in how you want to tell the story is when you go deeper than just nodes!

Yet the issue I think comes from laying a grid upon the already sufficient room map, usually to serve conflict and pacing between different pieces that move, adventurers and the creatures that got their dungeon disturbed

So in a dungeoncrawl, the rooms are the nodes and the hallways the lines, which in itself contain little nodes of possible encounters along the way. And this all could also be presented as a list of items (which it is what usually happens). Yet I prefer a visually enticing map of the dungeon!

Si quieres saber quién ha participado en este proyecto...es un honor poder presentarles a quienes han recorrido este particular Londres en @elultimoadiosrpg.bsky.social 😉

Looking at it for a while, I start to feel that a curse will unleash if I break the lacre. The curse of making weird games!

@exeunt.press when I receive this so beautiful, I don't want to break it

Same, we're three now, and I know a fourth!

They're great, also great game designer. Looking at what they do since Casket Land.

Great stuff!

Helps with focus with AuDHD, talking from experience. My brain is busy and I can't do anything about it even if I love the person who I am with. So if I can keep part of it entertained with some pattern, it really helps.

You let me know whenever you want it.

Dronningens gate 22, Oslo, Norway 😉. Because we're going to have good talks, good games, and time for you.

A game with my two favorite designers on the cover @amabel.bsky.social & @colewehrle.bsky.social + a game recommended by another that also should be celebrated: @exeunt.press.

What a great day! I hope to keep learning and be surprised by what games can actually do.

You can always release those after the Skirmish week!

Oslo Kniziathon 2025, for 40 years of Reiner Knizia making games. Thanks to Holmlia Brettspillklubb, very fun!

And the first thing I see is Marco Arnaudo 😂😆

Veritas

DECKO Create the ultimate magical poker deck.

My neighbor did this boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/44...

The other thing would be sending it as "books" to avoid import issues. (That's a Norway specific problem)
I'll try at night after the kid goes to sleep. Thanks!
