Carnage of the Lost World has happened, and I have returned home exhausted, with pages of notes on rule changes and suggestions. The balance of the cards seemed good, but I think I’ll be experimenting with changing the number of daggers on the die, and possibly increasing the recruitment costs of the top-level character cards […] Read more
The Las Vegas Shadowrun game that my tabletop group was playing has come to an end, in spectacular fashion. I’ve got recordings of every session but one, and if I ever have the time I’ll edit them down to something reasonable and put them up here. Here’s some of the characters from the campaign. This […] Read more
Over the weekend, I moved Carpe Omnis from the WordPress.com hosting that I’d been using for the past four years of its existence to a paid host where I can control the style and functionality of the site much more to my liking. If everything worked correctly everyone who subscribed to my blog either via […] Read more
I took a lot of the feedback I got on my work-in-progress Objective design for No Honor Among Thieves and turned it into a prototype design that I like a lot more. With any luck I should be ready to send these off to the printer early next week or–if all goes well–this weekend. Give […] Read more
Sorry I haven’t posted much recently: been very busy with work and various other projects. I’m starting to get a handle on things again now, though, so further updates will now resume. First of all, thanks to everyone who stopped by the Let’s Make Games table at Vermont Comic Con. That was the first time […] Read more
The first batch of printed cards came in! They ended up a fair bit darker than I expected, so unfortunately the Character and Defense backgrounds are looking pretty much the same. But otherwise they’re looking damn fine. I’ll have these at Vermont Comic Con, at the Let’s Make Games table. After that, I’ll work on […] Read more
At this point, I think I’m only going to be able to get a couple of the deck types printed for Comic Con. The Character and Scheme (formerly Action) decks are the most important, in my mind, because those are the cards with the most pen scribbles on them in my current home-printed set, so […] Read more
I’ve been sketching some quick temporary art for my cards for No Honor Among Thieves. We’re closing in on the time where I have to submit my order to the printer I’ll be using if I want to get it in time for Vermont ComicCon, but I think I can get something rough done for […] Read more
I’ve been away for a while camping in Maine (and losing very expensive prescription glasses in a lake), but in the little time that I have had lately I’ve made some changes to the icons for No Honor Among Thieves. They’ve all been modified to be a little more clear, now, and have been given […] Read more
Based on feedback from the last post, I’ve made some changes to the cards. And, more importantly, to the icons that will be going on them. I think these are much clearer than the last set, giving an impression of what the icon is for while still being simple enough that I can fit them […] Read more
