It's tempting to go all out and start cutting out chits and making maps. Sure, easy and seductive stuff, but that's not Troika. | What Would Conan Do?
I'll put in a picture when I have one. We're working on these a bit at a time. The Spider Bankers have been in Troika since the beginning and I've always meant to get around to using them more. They appeared in Wengle Instrumentality, and they're in the upcoming Streets Of Troika book, but they deserve a proper entry I think. | What Would Conan Do?
Hello party people.| What Would Conan Do?
I am an independent publisher. I have no secondary income, I have no one supporting me, I have no investors, I had no "seed money", I have no savings. Indie right? The following disorganised advice assumes the same situation as me, with a physical book. If you have money or a white collar job then I have nothing for you, you're already loaded just spend that money you have to make more. I'm not an essayist, this stuff bores me to tears but it should be out there freely and not handed out like...| What Would Conan Do?
A roleplaying game is a medium. Like oil colour, poetry, sculpture or prose. What is interesting is the results. Focusing on the method is at best an interesting side note and then only to a few.| What Would Conan Do?
I just want to read and write and maybe play video games if i'm feeling harassed one day. Just waking up has too much maintenance, sleeping interrupts me every time. In a perfect world I'd never sleep or want to.| What Would Conan Do?
These should be universally applied to all possible encounters regardless of attitude or anatomy| What Would Conan Do?
Hey, check it:| What Would Conan Do?
one thing wargames do much better than rpgs is they share ideas without crying about it. Side effect of rpgs getting virtually monopolised by one big fat american corp. Wargames have no monolith, no single financial truncheon, no group of bestest friends advertising them. This is a good thing.| What Would Conan Do?
If you have a troika related thing on Itch, I propose a deal: I'll give you troika to bundle with your thing. The price of troika as part of your bundle will undercut my price and hopefully drive people to invest in your cool stuff.| What Would Conan Do?
ive been thinking about writing advice a lot lately, remembering old articles from university, books i liked, things i carry with me. It's a difficult genre to do. Good writers are bad at explaining it, and people who are good at explaining it rarely have anything to say.| What Would Conan Do?
Social combat like physical combat is merely an impasse.| What Would Conan Do?
Consider the source of the numinous. Your basic RPG thinks very little of it or places it in a watered interpretation of the greek pantheon. In this case the numinous is transcendent, coming from without and inwards. It is probably more common in reality for the numinous to be seen as immanent, coming from the inside out.| What Would Conan Do?
I've covered some things before here: https://whatwouldconando.blogspot.com/2018/05/troikan-bumble-logic.html| What Would Conan Do?
I have definitely talked about this before. I'd link it if I was smart.| What Would Conan Do?
1d3+3 creates a feeling of unfairness in some players. Which they don't like. Each to their own.| What Would Conan Do?
I want a game to tell me my parameters. I don't want to push against them, I don't wanna make D&D into something it isn't 'cos that's just sticking a plaster on it and saying it's all good. If what a game is is "gross" "stupid" or worst of all "boring" then that's what it is and I don't want people to get better at hiding how dull they are or else we might arrive at a time where Hasbro tricks me into thinking they're good people and trying to make good art.| What Would Conan Do?
I'm not good at following instructions so I'm just going to write in the state that I am on learning what I should be writing about today. So there.| What Would Conan Do?
Firstly the blog ain't dead I'm just busy. Busy with game things, none of this "oh I had a child and real life is taking up my nerd time". Nope, all nerd all the time.| What Would Conan Do?
