2cp skip to main content search this blog 2cp posts glint beta v1 get link facebook x pinterest email other apps june 24 2026 one and a half years later look i thought i might become a blogger it didn t happen i published 3 posts on my in development game glint and then it evolved so dramatically through playtesting that i realized the format of piecemealing the rules out over time wasn t going to be effective so what i m not a blogger but maybe i made a game that someone will steal something from here is glint enjoy ok ok a little more preamble what is in that pdf is not a marketable package that s why it s free it s missing treasure tables it s missing a bestiary there s no starting adventure there s no attached setting what you are getting is character creation advancement inventory combat magic and light procedures for dungeon crawling and wilderness exploration in its current iteration the game resides within the odd like family but you ll find inspirations from all across the indie rpg sphere i wouldn t be surprised if post a comment read more end your online sessions 5 10 minutes early get link facebook x pinterest email other apps january 30 2025 hi all i m writing a devlog for combat in glint but work has picked up a bit delaying its publishing to not lose my meager blogging momentum i thought i would share some quick practical advice about a topic that s been on my mind transitioning to online games at the beginning of 2024 my group transitioned to playing sessions online it wasn t all bad some information is easier to present and organize in a digital space however one thing that i immediately missed was the after session table talk when a session ended in person there would often be a 10 minute period as we packed up and walked out the door when we would just talk seems simple but it gave us a small window of time to process the events of the session in an informal setting when we moved online we lost that time sometimes everyone was off the call within a minute of the session ending as a gm i came to realize that these now missing informal moments were invaluable to my understanding of wh post a comment read more ability checks devlog 3 get link facebook x pinterest email other apps january 14 2025 perception bad persuasion bad ah yes ability checks one of the more divisive ttrpg battlefields many a forum poster has been conscripted into the conflict and the battle rages on perhaps one of the most defining concepts within the osr is that when you limit the scope of ability checks you draw out a greater level of engagement with the fiction from your players i am a defender of this idea though i do believe that gm ing is more art than science and that every table needs to find its own balance with regards to the types of problems that can be roll ed away however today i m going to skip past the when and why of ability checks plenty of good theory out there rather the point of this devlog is how this resolution mechanic works in glint the how in glint there are 4 attributes might dexterity mind and luck attribute scores begin at 1 and can increase up to 5 when an ability check is called for a target num post

an analog inventory system using tetris like pieces to represent items in the pc s inventory i know that the character sheet in the picture is too clean but i swear we did play this way for a couple of weeks that picture is about a year old and you know what i m actually still developing this approach as part of my wip game glint about a month later and after many many hours spent printing cutting and gluing those little item pieces together my group was forced to move online and those are hours i ll just never get back by that time the game had evolved here s a picture from about 4 months ago of a character sheet now hosted on google sheets finally not that you really needed it the character sheet today continuing to evolve so what have i learned from a year of managing inventory in this way i m glad you asked slots vs blocks round 1 post a comment read more introducing glint devlog 1 get link facebook x pinterest email other apps january 03 2025 dear reader for the past year i have been developing my own osr influenced dungeon crawling heartbreaker as is tradition well i awoke yesterday morning to the clarion call of one w f smith beckoning the forever closet tinkerers to try tinkering in the light of day or at least in the dim glow of a discord server i looked at all the drafts of my game and thought why not it s called glint the game is in playtesting with large chunks of the rules receiving semi regular revisions and tweaks but the bones are more or less locked in i ve been testing it with my home group for the past 5 ish months and i am ready to start sharing the ideas that have gone into its creation with anyone who cares to listen if that turns out to be an audience of none then so be it this can just be a public journal maybe something that i write will inspire someone else to create just as the things that i ve read in the osr blogosphere have inspired me to do so i m not qu post a comment read more powered by blogger theme images
