The newer Voltron has an episode where the paladins are all jettisoned with their suits on for days (days acknowledged as relative in deep space). OF Course, they are rescued as they are falling asleep, running low on oxygen and but it is a pretty good character driven episode. I wish more people played rpgs that could handle scenarios like this in an interesting way.

Dust Devils uses cards as a resolution mechanic as do the various CAPERS games.

 Thread: ION Heart:: Rules:: +2 modifier
Posted: Fri, 05 Dec 01:16:32

by PrecieuxNoob

So on page 38, character leveling, it say "your characters can only have a modifier of +2 on one of your stats a a time"
English my native langage so not sur what it means.
Only on of the four stats can go +2?
Stats cannot go higher then +2?
Something else?

Can you give example?

Thank you

Yes, I know I have unread comments and subscriptions and such. I really need to get my Christmas cards out too, but today, today I got some necessary housework done and, I also took some time to think about where I need to go from here and how I'm going to get there.

Honestly, the lack of a showing in this year's Solitaire PNP and 2-Player Contests has really been bugging the crap out of me. Was I expecting Best Overall- heck no. But I expected to show up in at least one category for something, anything, heck even art. Does Squirrelly!'s #3 for Best Art annoy me? A bit, since I really don't consider myself much of an artist. But it's better than nothing at all and it lets me know that someone cared enough to vote for the game. Anyway, rant over.

This is why I've mostly been avoiding the 54-Card Contest's results until today, when I simply had to know how my Surfboard Stealin' Sea Otters stacked up. And, I'm actually not disappointed :D. #2 for Best Family Game is awesome! Especially when the #1 is from Mark Tuck :heart:. You know, Orchard: 9 card solitaire game, Grove: 9 card solitaire game, that Mark Tuck. So, yes, I'm very happy to lose to that Mark Tuck :D. And #8 Best Overall (yes, there was a tie for #7, but Dustin listed me as #8, so I'm putting #8) is nothing to sniff at either. I'm happy. And the Jury Prizes haven't been announced yet. Not that I think I'm actually in the running, but, the point is, my little otters did pretty darn good considering the year I've had with design contests...

Moving forwards... I'm revisiting and polishing and primping both Composer's Cat & Unlucky Spirits with an eye to submitting both for the 2026 Cardboard Edison... getting serious about bringing the Minutes to Midnight and Almost Midnight games to The Game Crafter in 2026, and continuing to pitch my more family-friendly games (Squirrelly!, Bears love Bows, Tricky Treats, & Surfboard Stealin' Sea Otters) to traditional publishers in what remains of 2025 and into 2026. Design contests are still something I'm going to do, but I need to be better about balancing work on new ideas with work on getting existing games published (self or otherwise).



Game Over On borrowed time...

Happy Thursday and happy playing!
-Rachel
