Inspirational things for me as a game designer

These things have inspired me in my recent RPG projects

I am usually multi-tasking and there are usually several game tests and developments going on at the same time. Therefore it's impossible to name a single inspiration for my recent RPG project of mine. So, instead of classically naming the one inspirational thing for the latest publication, I'll do this a bit differently.

Here are some inspirations, reasons, and reasonings behind my most recent RPG projects and products. 

* The sheer need for a certain kind of gaming system, character development style, or setting. 

Felt certain things myself and found like-minded people and we have been building the game and its settings around our shared and personal nerds combined... This resulted in several minigames this far and a whole lotta things under the works.

* My stutter, autism, ADD, and dyslexia combined bring a whole lotta weird words and sayings that can become ongoing puns. Or to evolve into game/scenario/entity/setting/adventure ideas and seeds.

* I have a very rich inner world in my head. 

* This game/system/rule/technique/style is seriously outdated/clunky/unnecessarily difficult, so I want to develop something better than that. At least, to me and for our gaming needs in my regular group(s)...

* Dreams.. Nightmares. Experienced dreaming or awake.

* Wanting to try what fun could merge using certain kinds of special dice. Especially experimenting with using different kinds of special dice with certain game rules and techniques.

Aappena päätti kisavuotensa komiasti Bullfarmilla!!!!

Kuva
Viikonloppuna oli edessä aappenan tämän vuoden viimeinen kisa. Ruhjeitta siitä selvittiin ja hengissä ollaan. Jotain hieman sain aikaiseksikin. Aappena kera pokaalin ja parin sponssipaidan.... Sunnuntaina lähdin räpiköimään akkain -90 kg sarjaan varustemaveen Bullfarmille Tatu Avola Memorial -tapahtumaan. Aloituspainona miulla oli vaatimattomasti tehdä Suomenennätys ja jatkaa siitä mahdollisesti ihan sen mukaan, miten kivut, pahoinvointi ja kuumeoireilu sallivat. Punttimimmi, Aappena, ja vaffoja urogzia... Ja niinhän siinä sitten kävi, että Aappena did it! "-90kg 150 FPO-stantard Maastanosto, naiset equip" sijaan tulee FPO-liiton ennätystilastoissa lukemaan päivityksen jälkeen 170 kg Krisse Tuominen Bullfarm 11.12.2016 eli SE tuli kipeenä, väsyneenä, ja kamalis kivuiskin.. ja ykköspystin nakkasivat miulle kouraan Tatu Avola Memorial 2016 -kisan single maven ykköselle, hyvä mie! Osallistujadiplomikin oli oikein komea ja Fastin pienessä salipussukassa sain...

Cyberpunk movies to inspire your genre gaming (plus some gaming stuff, too!)

Kuva
Cyberpunk is a cool genre of books, movies, tv-series, comics, cartoons, clothing style(s) and various types of games. As a roleplaying game moderator, who likes to make own adventures for roleplaying sessions, I find it useful to watch inspirational genre movies.... And because sharing is caring, I'll tell You  about feeeeeew movies and videos that are worth to watch... Hardware (1990) is now days considered as a some sort of cyberpunk cult b-movie classic, and it's no wonder why that is the case. It has leather, darkness, violent fights, sorrow, pain, madness, robotics, cybernetics, far-out Net -audiovisuals, certain sexyness, coolness and whole lotta F-U -Attitude. And just look at that movie poster, I mean, just look at it! Not the world's best indie-flick, but worth to watch. Max Headroom: 20 minutes into the future (1985) is a television produced Cyberpunk movie. Even with its oddicities and glumsyness, the movie achieves to tell a interesting stor...

Nyt on liikenteessä yli 5 viikon kuumetta ja monella ollut 2-3 viikkoo kuumetta ja perään 1-2 vkoa vattakuumetta. Mie kärsin flunssan kahes vkossa jossa oli yli puoltoist vkoa kuumetta josta loppuosa oli vattakuumetta... otin iisisti, oikein varovaisesti, eka kevyt vain 37 min pitkä kevyt treeni yli 3 pvää kuumeen laskun jälkeen, välipäivä seuraavaan kevyeen treeniin... ja sitten tämän viikon tiistain a kävin yliopistolla hoitamassa asioita ja kamala kurkkukipu ilman kuumetta iski ja lepäämällähän sekin meni parempaan päin, eilen hain ruokaa koska ruokaa on haettava ...
