Yeah, I'm not sure it'd been the perfect circumstances to showcase Blades ... too loud and busy, too many players. I know what you mean, though.<br /><br />Part 2 is up, btw. I think it's a bit more concise and to the point. Still, there needs to be a part 3, I'm afraid :)Jens D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18394303166081684904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617677799085549365.post-87432461159425948892018-02-05T02:03:48.125+01:002018-02-05T02:03:48.125+01:00Well, I fully agree to the point that grinding dow...Well, I fully agree to the point that grinding down Hit Points is somehwat a boring endeavor. I like the abstraction of dangers and encounters which comes with games liek Blades in the Dark. A simulacrum of the world ticking down on the players, where each mistake is generating naratives forward. <br />Well I guess the test play I run with you wasnt the best example, as I was pretty tired and exausted. But its worth it to see distinctions of results beyond black and white, success and fail or to grind down numbers with the means of repeatative slauther.<br /><br />But well, as a map maker I am thrilled to read the next part.Vandel Ardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12486733384931390689noreply@blogger.com
