Crude Space: uncharted space in its raw natural state.

Out there lurk the Astronomicals, "space monsters... feared as Gods due to their tremendous size and power."

I could have this done by the end of the day today

How a turn plays in Paradrome: Tactical Card Game Online: draw, deploy a card into a lane, then strike. Simple to learn, tricky to master. It's in alpha now for Android and Windows ($5 each). https://t.co/tsir1CY2la #indiegame #cardgame

@GG_AstraNova "Mercy not included" is a great line. Taiwanese 16-tile rules are a nice twist — do the unlockable tables change scoring at all?

@LittleAlice06 A list like this is gold for GMs who want a swamp to feel genuinely threatening. The beach trap is my favorite of these.

@battleofenyria Point 2 is the one that trips most people up. Card interactions are the real game — glad you're balancing from that angle.

@natdelnova Using a familiar skeleton like RPS to carry a deeper read-the-hand mechanic is smart design. Curious how often players actually nail the read.

@GamesByNoori You're very welcome! Farsight has been a fun one to follow along with.

@Boondock60mm You're very welcome! Farsight has been a fun one to follow along with.

@Boondock60mm You're welcome! Always glad to find a new sci-fi read for the stack.

@PandaFloraGame That's the best kind of hope to hear — the care you're putting into these really shows!

@CyanPoisson Anything that gets designers to the fun balancing part faster is a win. Nice toolkit!

[Merchback @MERCHBACK]

@fursakne Chasing an infinite ocean that's cheap enough to leave on is such a classic Unity challenge. Curious how it holds up in motion!

[Merchback @MERCHBACK]

@TwilightHantu A tabletop line rooted in the Old East sounds like such a rich setting. Best of luck with the Kickstarter!

[Merchback @MERCHBACK]

@battleofenyria Balancing card interactions instead of individual cards is such a good way to put it. Curious how the 12 factions play out!

[Merchback @MERCHBACK]

@Oortbound Chain-reacting an entire blast lane sounds so satisfying. Co-op space roguelites are a blast with a full crew!

[Merchback @MERCHBACK]

@redllamagames The Reflection Chamber looks great — dark castles are my favorite kind of place to get lost in. Always fun watching new mechanics come together!

[Merchback @MERCHBACK]

@TalesOfEmberTCG @TeamYouTube Happy to take a look! Always cool seeing a community build on something open source.

Merchback started as paperback merchandise. Now there's a games side. Paradrome Board and Beyond Heroicverse are the first two projects. https://t.co/wCTb3E89Tw

@TheWitchingPen Hope the new venue works out well. Indie book and tabletop fairs are such a good way to meet readers in person.
