Tea Wagon Games

 Games are often released in PDF format. This is a versitile format for locking in design and layout elements of a published work. With embedded fonts, page backgrounds, and other layers, the PDF format ensures the page will look the same, no matter where it is displayed. But this becomes a problem with more and more people viewing these documents on phones and other small devices. When the page is viewed as a whole, the text is too small to read comfortably. When it is zoomed in, readers have to navigate across columns and art spreads to find the beginning of the next bit of text. To help avoid this, I have decided to begin rerelease my games with View Only Google Drive documents. The benefit is that Google Drive automatically formats the layout to the screen it is being viewed on, and the viewer may export a copy via either downloading or printing it.

 The Labyrinthine Library of Bibliothecia is up. This is a game I made out of necessity. I have a group of students learning English as a foreign language, so I wanted to make a quick, card / icon based game so they could focus on speaking instead of reading. I originally put the game up on the site a week ago, but after playing a session with the students, I made some changes to the rules to further streamline them. The result is a game that can be played with a single d6 and a deck of cards. The players take on a cast of fantasy tropes to explore the once lost city of Bibliothecia. It was once the center of knowledge for the world. A peaceful city, where each home, every restaurant, and even the alleyways were libraries housing books. And the books contain knowledge that is now lost to the world. The PCs are adventurers, plumbing the depths of the discovered city, looking for knowledge, and riches.
