StoneMaier Games has a good explanation on how the 54% US tariff on #TTRPG and #boardGame s printed in China will impact the game market, #gameDesign and #publishing of #games

Test-driving a #BoardGame at the #TTRPG convention. This should be a required figure for any game played in #Toronto.
Another recurring idea for a #musicGame is to separate playing music and doing in-game moves. You basically join the music when it's not your turn.
The game may have any turn-based mechanics, but its #tabletop representation should yield itself well to musical interpretation.
This is a design area with hopes for great complexity, some #eurogame-adjacent potential. But arguably, musical #improvisation may cover any #boardgame...
#gameDesign #gameDev insight:
https://www.backerkit.com/c/projects/shadowlands-games/terraforming-mars-ttrpg#top is launching a #TTRPG based on the #terraformingMars #boardGame
It focuses on building infrastructure, building ecosystems (even if in a techno-solutionist way) and generational play, seeing the changes over decades and centuries. I would love to use it as a base for #solarpunk #games .
So WHY does the quickstart feature combat rules, but not social conflict rules?
Can we really imagine, focus on nothing else than shooting each other?
