Sits back I think I'm finished. Just need to play test the updated version of my game jam submission's rules pamphlet.

My friends tested out the "this is what I want to do, but am still thinking about things out loud and probably don't have enough space on a single sheet of paper" version of the rules. My GF's and Chilean friends tested out the first version of the PDF rule set. This is the "third" version.

If anyone is interested in looking at game, here's the pre-release copy of the pdf.

On a side note, a package I had my niece ship to chile just arrived.... Two months after I had her send it (to the day). The package was placed in a DHL box because during the two months since it was shipped, it went to canada and the USPS priority mail international box apparently got kicked around, stomped, thrown into a puddle, and had the box partially disintegrate. Remarkably, the contents were not harmed.

I already like it after reading this bit: ”These rules are meant to be open to interpretation, discussion, improvisation, and are best played in a narrative style within the theatre of the mind. Battle mats are not necessary, but may be used to illustrate possitioning. Desperados are not limited to rules written on their character sheets, nor are players required to memorized encyclopedic volumes of rules before rolling a single die.”

A bit of critique though. Might be clearer if you put some ”page” numbers to order the columns. I figured it out that folded in a pamphlet style it makes sense, but as a pdf you start with the right column of the first page, go left to right of the second page, jump to middle left, then middle right of first page, and finally the character sheet…

Yeah. I should also make a more traditional "rules sheet" version of the rules for easy reading, and to require less papercraft.

The expense and hassle of all the stuff going on with the house- as well as other stuff- is really starting to seriously stress Mom out. She’s losing sleep, and like me, she doesn’t sleep that much already. She was almost in tears about it all during lunch. I had to give her a perspective reset.

Sure, the messes we’re dealing with are expensive, even with insurance paying for some. And moving stuff out of the way of the various crews has been and will continue to be a hassle. And it’s noisy. And uncomfortable. And it’s all happening in rapid succession. But we know people who have had MAJOR house issues this year, including someone we know whose house burned down. Compared to some around us, the housing challenges we’ve had have been pretty manageable.
