Hexingtide (Early Access) by Will Phillips Minimalist Monstrous Roleplaying

Been reading through the play-test rules for Hexingtide, and I've got to say, its probably the most fun I've had reading through a #TTRPG all year.

Highly suggest checking this out if you're at all into horror, tabletop role playing games, or monster hero fiction!

A castle atop a stacked house of cards. All in simple geometry, solid colors, no shading. 5 colors in total, including white and the yellow background.

RTs appreciated.

Are there any artists in the ttrpg space who does/has done art in this style? Essentially, images composed of simple geometry, solid colors.

For a game I'm working on. Paid work, of course.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

This is probably a full percentage point of my whole personality. Maybe 2.

AXL: welcome to the jungle

ME: (hoping they have fun and games and about to be pleasantly surprised)

I always wanted to design a custom card deck, so this was a lot of fun. (Also, the quality of the POD cards is surprisingly good!)

I guess it was originally called Ballbreaker... not great, either.

One of the very best

It's immaculate

YES

The movie poster for SORCERER, depicting a truck on a rope bridge in a rainstorm, about to slide off the side.

Rewatching the classics. I might have to make a Sorcerer / Wages of Fear one shot some day. Jenga mechanics? Seems like a good start.

It's SO GOOD

Exterior shot of a gas station and garage, early evening, with golden light spilling out from the open garage door.

Willem Defoe and Marianne Kanter in a motel room, reflected in a mirror, with light from the blinds creating lines on the green wall behind them.

A high angle shot, looking down on a scene in a garage, composed like a painting with figures in the foreground, middle ground, and background.

Willem Defoe in a disheveled motel room, looking out a window. A red Corvette is parked outside, framed in an open doorway.

Gotta love these compositions.

A low angle shot of a woman's legs in the foreground, wearing hose and white high heels, dancing on a zebra print rug while men in the background look on.

Last night's movie: THE LOVELESS (1981). The phrase "every frame a painting" definitely applies here.

I am not much for post apocalyptic games these days, but the Bakers could put out a new edition every year and I would buy it.

Apocalypse World is responsible for fostering curiosity and inspiring confidence in so many designers. It helped build an era for games incredibly rich with creativity.

Apocalypse World has had a bigger impact on my life than any other roleplaying game. It's just a phenomenal game, designed by phenomenal people. You should pick up a copy of the new edition!

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

😍

Apocalypse World is far and away my favorite game, period, and this new edition is *even better*.

This is definitely my favorite way to play/GM most games, but especially AW and games like it. I've been very lucky to be in many groups who love it, too.

It's always a joy to talk to Meg and Vincent.
Ben facilitated a really fun conversation here, orbiting around Apocalypse World and spinning off into all kinds of game design thoughts.
