Tea Wagon Games

 Work, more work, sick child, and life. There are many things that can get in the way. However, looking at my blog stats, I don't seem to have very many, or possibly any, regular followers. The weird thing is that the RSS doesn't seem to add to stats at all. For experimental purposes, I subscribed to the blog via different apps, but receiving the post in app never seemed to move the stats at all. So I am not going to concentrate on putting blog posts out so much. Instead, this will just be where I announce when an RPG page has been updated, and possibly describe my thought process behind the rules update. The week away from writing was actually a little good for me. I turned the rules for my own game around in my head, and I have had a few good ideas to implement. I just need to get it on paper.

 I have reworked the covers I mocked up back in July. Mainly I changed the font to something more art nouveau. The previous font was playful, but a bit unreadable. This font is Poiret One, and I am using it (paired with Open Sans) as the heading font for the interior of the game. Gods of Miami Front Gods of Miami Back

 My next game project is another game that is nearly finished. I wrote it over the summer, and it is fairly polished already. I just need to generate some art for the Patreon version, give it a good edit, do some proofreading, and then lay it all out. Originally, I was planning on getting a game out at the end of each month. However, after setting up my Patreon account, I realized that if a game draws someone to join the Patreon, they'll be immediately charged, and then they'll be charged a few days later when the new month rolls around. So, my new deadline is the beginning of the month. Since this is already the beginning of November, I'm planning to put out Gods of Miami for the beginning of December.  The game is Gods of Miami, nee Gods of Aureata. I have waffled on the setting. Part of me wanted to do a weird sci-fi / fantasy mashup, so over the summer I spent to much time editing the documents back and forth between the two settings. But, now that I'm putting it ou...

 This will be a first for me, just writing a post only to review of something. I have nearly finished watching the first season of the Tales from the Loop  series from Amazon Prime.  Here is a link for the game . Full disclosure, I am coming from reading the game book first (it was my gateway drug to the Year Zero Engine). It is one of the few game books that I've read from cover to cover.  With that said, I feel that anyone who watches this show, gamer or not, can enjoy the show. Rather than focusing on the setting, as many shows based on games do, Tales from the Loop focuses on the characters. It feels like an anthology show, a little similar to the Twilight Zone, but it really captures the small town feel.  It does this by focusing on a character in Episode A, and then bringing in a side character, or background character to be the focus of Episode B. Then in Episode C you might see the two previous main characters as supporting cast. It is a really cool effe...
