    @mossmouth @tha_rami it doesn't directly address the point at hand, but this discussion makes me think about the essay "Postcolonial Catan" (English version lower on the page) faidutti.com/blog/?p=3780 - all about how boardgames lean on exoticised caricatures of other cultures.
  4. …in reply to @v21
    @mossmouth @tha_rami specifically: wanting the setting to do a lot of heavy lifting in terms of explaining how things relate, what's going on, etc. do you use your limited attention for explaining what's going on on getting people up to speed with the setting? or do you use it to teach mechanics?

    @erquhart @downdogapp think of it like this: when you create an account, you get a free 14 day trial before you have to subscribe. After that period, you need to subscribe (through the standard method). Once you're subscribed, you cancel in the standard way. What's hard to manage about that?

    @GalaxyKate v good points on accessibility! but i guess my larger point is that the way you sell tickets, give basic info etc is 100% part of the experience (and thus, to me, part of the art). which doesn't mean you should make it inaccessible, that's just bad design.

    @Ninfa_dp I like doing things I had no idea how to do til I had to do them! but here's some themes I'm strong on: - designing games for novel interfaces or sensors - UX: making it clear what's happening, knowing what the player should care about. teaching them stuff. - creative tools

  163. lots of people try to make light up dice, but the issue of cramming a battery & charging setup in there makes them super pricey. powering them entirely from an inductive ring is very interesting indeed! @BanhammersWrath/1281686898868736000
  164. …in reply to @v21
    as noted in the thread, there's stuff to solve to make sure there's an inductive ring at the right orientation... I'd be curious if you could put smarts on them so they could report back what they've rolled... but seems plausible to get a set of dice + mat under $100 retail?
