Combat Turn Design Decisions

Before I get into the meat of this post, I first wanted to point out that the Ganjifa Kickstarter was an amazing success, and that the Beta 3 of Against the Dark Yogi is now publicly available for download.

Ganjifa Kickstarter a Success!

As backers have already heard, our Ganjifa Kickstarter ended a few days ago and it was a thrilling success!

Ganjifa Kickstarter!

A while back, while researching for Against the Dark Yogi we briefly considered using Ganjifa cards in the action mechanic for the game.

They're pretty cool....

Ganjifa Cards & Against the Dark Yogi Beta 2

A while back, while researching for Against the Dark Yogi we briefly considered using Ganjifa cards in the game. Ganjifa cards are traditional round Indian playing cards, and they're pretty cool. The problem, we discovered, is that there hasn't been a general market printing of ganjifa cards in the US since the 1950's, and so they're very difficult to find. (Or at least difficult to find without shelling out a lot of money.)...

Luck Points & the Core

I've been giving some thought recent to luck points as they existed in first generation Saga Machine games, how they influence the feel of the game and whether they're a good thing to include in a genre-agnostic game's core....

Setting Sheet: Ishtaban

I'm now happy to present the third in our series of Setting Sheets: Ishtaban. Like our first two (Tansaar & Bhurloka), this Setting Sheet a page--both front and back--detailing a particular setting in brief. We plan to release more of setting sheets, all leading up to the release of our final product for the first generation of Saga Machine games: Nexus Endtime....
