Rulings and Ruminations

Terse thoughts on tabletop RPGs (mostly [O|N]SR) - Actual plays too

Hello and warm greetings! I'm Kate, an aspiring game designer. If you're curious about the kind of game contents I've crafted so far, feel free to dive into my collection on itch.io through this link.

I decided to embark on this blogging journey as a way to not only organize my swirling thoughts but also to chronicle my progress and adventures in game designing. I believe it’s always lovely to look back and see how far you've come.

At present, I'm passionately working on two major projects: "Moonseed" and "Complex34". The former, Moonseed, is a delightful twist on Cairn, a game by the talented Yochai Gal. I'm quite excited about this one, and my hope is to share it with everyone as a full hack on Cairn's official website. Fingers crossed!

On the other hand, "Complex34" is my unique take on "Into the Odd" by the incredible Chris McDowall, but with a dieselpunk twist. If you're pondering whether I've been utterly charmed by Chris' game system, well, you hit the nail on the head. I'm smitten!

In between these projects, I often find joy in playtesting them with solo actual plays. For those interested, you can find these play sessions recorded on my blog. Above all, my guiding principle in this journey is pure enjoyment and fun.

I'm eager to keep this space updated with my adventures and explorations in game design. Stay tuned for more, and until next time, take care and happy gaming!
