//ANOMALY DETECTED!
The Glistening World » Devlog
Welcome to the Station.
Phew, this was such a fun project to create! Another huge thanks to Darling Demon Games, and all the fellow freaks who encouraged me to make this project! That being said, the "Anomaly draft" I snuck in just before the Faggot Games TTRPG Jam deadline is a rough rough draft. I am relentlessly iterative, and I was already working on a new draft before this one was even published. Here's what to expect (don't ask me when):
Known Bugs
- It's a little ambiguous how the suit tables are meant to be used.
- I changed the escalation mechanic (Station Events) and the amounts of Thirst/Bleed caused by encounters at the very last minute. I'm still testing on my own to see if I like the new pacing or not. It doesn't feel like I'm getting either resource fast enough in my own test runs.
Things I want to CHANGE
- In hindsight, I think I want to flip the in-universe roles of the Biomass Reclaimers and Ossuary Growths. I want the Reclaimers to be more about putting ichor into things (inflicting Bleed gain and mutations) and the Ossuary Growths to be about taking it out of the ecosystem (losing Bleed and Mutations).
- Not 100% happy with any of the Special Encounters. I think I want to devote some extra word count to them to make them more fleshed-out.
- I want Encounter actions to be more mechanically distinct and defined. Part of this is contingent of stuff I want to add.
Things I want to ADD
- Art! I need to share my mental vision of all these freaky horrors with y'all!
- A character sheet/worksheet to use during play.
- An "Example of Play"
- More details about my core assumptions and world-building (maybe from an unreliable, in-universe narrator).
- Discoveries. A progression system where by encountering a certain suit and failing the encounter, you make progress towards learning more about it. As it is, you've only got an 8% chance of passing those 10 or Face Card checks. Possible rewards for Discoveries include flat bonuses to rolls involving that suit, or new mechanics for each suit (I.E, fucking Ossuary Growths reduces Bleed.)
