'i don't like this sex scene because it doesn't advance the plot'

skill issue tbh. fanfic writers have been using background glances between two unnamed extras to advance plot since the 60s. if you can't advance plot with a whole sex scene you're not gonna make it in the fiction mines

We said (quite rightly)... "Itโ€™s not difficult to recommend it for anyone interested
in a good adventure romp ... or for that
matter, anyone who just appreciates a
decent boardgame design." -- TSM #25
We're also hoping there will be another scenario pack some time soon... ๐Ÿคž bit.ly/TSM_25

but when you say we made players feel more heroic by cutting their damage and enemy hp in half, no playtester would spring for that as a solution lol

17.02.2026 07:50 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 15    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

they really don't. i have heard stories of scenarios in big box campaign games that were play tested zero times because of the time spent having to make a big box campaign

17.02.2026 07:48 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

the lack of heroism was a granularity problem. if enemies have 6hp and you crit for 3, you feel helpless. but when they have 3hp and you crit for 2 suddenly there's a chance.

one of my favorite dev stories for mass effect is how play testers were complaining that their squad didn't feel heroic enough. we deployed multiple solutions: more dangerous enemies, tougher enemies, more hero damage. the one that ended up working was cutting all hp and damage in half.

oh, cool, i actually finished the campaign, the box actually fits on my shelf, i can replay the story instead of being 1/3 of the way through a massive box, and i only paid 50 dollars for this, this was great actually

game design is often about solving problems players don't know they have

when the mass effect board game first came out, there was a rather large contingent of people who lamented that it was only 50 dollars in a small box. they (understandably) wanted a massive sprawling adventure with tons of plastic and cards.

some reviewers who then played the game went on to say-

Remember: When you playtest a game, never take playersโ€™ feedback/suggestions at face value. Figure out what emotion is underneath what theyโ€™re telling you, and then figure out what in the game is causing that emotion
