General Podcast questions

>interesting thread that goes ignored

Sorry, OP. Personally, I'm attempting to make my own board game so discussion about mechanics and theory/concept would be of interest to me, but I don't know if that's a very large audience.

Ain't no problem my man, some nights are better than others.

I wouldn't think so but then again the three of us have never tired to make a game. We usually know when a mechanic does or doesn't work though and we do talk about things we do and don't like about certain systems or games.

Is there a specific question you had about that topic though?

Going to be a bit harsh here, but with those topics you will never get much in way of questions and viewers. Nearly every question that might be asked about wargaming has most likely been discussed at length and with better sources on one of the many forums dedicated to the various wargames. As for board games, all that matters is if you had fun and there are already no small amount of let's plays that focus on board games. If you and your friend are knowledgeable in game design like >>53013916 you would at least have a sweet niche.

Not trying to get a ton of viewers, as I stated it's mostly for the local area. We get the odd person listening from out of town, but for the most part I don't intend for the podcast to blow up and be a big thing worldwide.

Really all I'm looking for is some questions to get us off talking about simply talking about events and new releases and add a little more depth to the episodes.

Hm, how would you feel about character alignment (like D&D) playing a factor in a board game? Like your can gain or lose alignment depending on luck and/or choices made when drawing the various cards. It's something I'm thinking about implementing, I think it could add a bit of depth to the game, but it could also not work at all. I haven't playtested anything but what do you think about it, in theory?

It could work, it is worth noting that talisman had an alignment system for the random events on the cards and some spaces on the game board, you even had the druid who could shift alignments at will.

Ah shit, that's right. Well now I have to try to make it different from theirs or scrap it altogether. Maybe it's forgivable? Nothing new under the sun and all that...I'm basically making a board game version of my custom pathfinder campaign, so I wanted to include Alignment.

I think it would be better if the event cards had like 2-3 options on them with a roll associated with them.
SO lets say you have the good option or the evil option with a good character

Good option: is (1-3) Failure
(4-5) success w/ bad stuff
(6+) good stuff no consequences

Evil: Similar to good maybe change some numbers around or shift what happens (maybe a fight starts, maybe what they came here for gets destroyed)

The true difference between the choices is your character's alignment, a good character gets 2 dice for the Good table but only 1 for the Evil.
That sound good?

Can you talk about why SJWs attacked this dude on dakkadakka?
