My game development blog

[Kemper Boyd]

Hi everyone,

I thought this forum might be interested in taking a look at my game development blog. I'm currently writing a game for Goblinworks, which is a small indie outfit.

Here's a link.

Blog includes stuff like setting material and bits and piece of rules I'm presenting, and my thoughts about game design and the business in general.

My main ambition is to create a whole new paradigm for game design and what we set out to do when creating games. I want to make RPG's inclusive and approachable. I want to put the fun back in. I want to chase "adult themes" out of RPG's as much as possible. This is not a major Forge-like school of anything, I realize I'm just one guy who might have a few listeners, but as much as I can, I want to make things better.

Another blog worth reading is Your Business Sucks, which is more about how the RPG business works and doesn't work.

I didn't realise the fun had been taken out! I wish you good luck in your venture.

To be completely honest, of course it hasn't. The main problem, as I see it, are games themselves, not how they're played. We should start breaking new ground finally, instead of lingering in the past or trying to bring in "adult themes".
