It's so sad hearing a story about someone spending January/February 2020 cooped up at home online like, "Don't worry in March and April I'll go out and have a life."
Why? You think "going out" is "better"? It's so subjective. I prefer the expansive depth of complex systems and ideas that I explore at home. Books, videos, simulations. It's amazing.
@@nemesisurvivorleon sure you might enjoy staying inside but you don't want to be trapped inside for 2 years right after you decided not to spend anytime before it.
What are you talking about?? I prefer to stay inside most of the time myself and it’s actually just “so sad hearing a story about someone” who can’t enjoy themselves without others to supplement that enjoyment.
While most P&P RPGs are made to give as much freedom and flexibility (with respect to character design, story and progression) as possible, I love the idea of taking the concept of a GM leading a few players through a story, but limiting the "possibility space" such that it becomes a real game again revolving around one or few core mechanics. It's like the genre of P&P is progressing by taking things away instead of adding.
Nice to hear of someone making a published TTRPG that differentiates itself from DnD! I just finished making an Untitled Science Board Game for Science class, and I needed to watch a video about someone else making a board game to chillax, so kudos to you and Brad!
My experience with writing TTRPGs is it requiers both technical writing and creative writing, both can be difficult. I am almost finished writing my TTRPG "Children With Wands" I am hoping to have it done by the end of the year.
Snomes looks so clean, and loads of fun! I've been playing D&D for years, and I always try to make my games comical and fun, and often succeed. But I have to agree! Lately, I've been feeling dragged down by all of minutia, mechanical nit-pick, and heavy or dark themes that often accompany the game inherently. I've tried and failed many times to make my own system, but this is inspiring!
Looks pretty cool! I was never a huge role player until a join a D&D campaign. Then I joined another... and another... and now I've got that itch again. Great to hear about this!
I wish there was a bit more details about the mechanics, how you made choice about those, the player testing etc.. That would’ve been really interesting
You may be interested in Monster of the week, it's more narrative focus, and you technically only need 4 pages to play. I showed the rule set to my bf who was kinda overwhelmed by dnd's rules and his answer was "wait, that's it?"
Me joins Firith Discord. Me finds out about their newest game called Snomes. Me 2 minutes later reloads UA-cam page and sees that Googdis has uploaded a new video. Me sees that this new video is about Snomes. hmmmm
Snomes is amazing. Me and my family played it, and we loved it. The reckless reactions were extremely funny, and I could actually play this game, unlike D&D.
I just wanna say that dnd can definitely be just dumb fun. Example in my group I was about to pay a tavern owner in gold and obviously that was a big deal so I asked him if he had any change he said that he doesn’t have enough change so I said wait a minute to the bartender went outside flew up in the air (I was a dragon born) and asked my dm if I saw any atms obviously I didn’t bc fantasy and now it’s a running joke that I always look atms whenever we get to a new town/village
Cool story, video and game! If youa re into small creativity-driven rol games, def look for FATE ! In a nutshel, FATE is a system where the players can choose what to do with their characters, anything, and is up to the Master and a couple limitant sentences how difficcult it should be for the character. Is a light and newcomer friendly system that I really like, good for setting fun stories fast too!
Hey D&D doesn't haves to be complicated math, DM's mostly do all of that for you, instead you and your table focus on creating fun stories! Rule of cool, modules, made up rules, whatever to make it fun! And it doesn't haves to necessarily be grimmy and dark. You make the game whatever you want, the rules are just a foundation that can be molded to your content, the world and environment can also be modify to your hearths content! And there are alternatives to D&D with less rules like City of Mist which is more focused on "todays goal is to make a fun or cool story in this imaginary world of ours" than "Todays goal is to finish the quest!" Also, the 1 rule in this game is fumble + wild magic on D&D. The chance of getting wild magic consequences rises everytime you successfully avoid them, making it more and more probable to happen, and when it happens anything from a table of 100 different consequences could happen, even made up consequences.
Hey, @Goodgis! Any ETA on when The Keeyp pre-orders will be up? I checked for updates on Kickstarter, but I'm locked out of them because I'm not a backer.
@Goodgis, when do you think the physical copies will be up for pre-order? I appreciate the digital options, but I'm pretty old school when it comes to my board games.
@@justinr1094 Might not be for awhile! We are still waiting for our copies from June to be printed. Production time is crazy right now with all of the shortages.
What are the mechanics of this game which make it stand out from other systems? Also, I’m a bit confused about the one system you mentioned, so please correct me if I’m wrong: Is there a 1/6 chance every time you roll for anything that you will trigger a single, predetermined effect?
Yes, but it's from a list of many and the players are encouraged to create their own. Normally, you'll have about 2-3 reckless reactions per session as you don't roll as much in the game. It's super chaotic and silly, and make it a fun and casual way to roleplay. :D
"we launched the Kickstarter before the game was finished" yes, that is how Kickstarter is... supposed to work, that is the... entire point of kickstarter
I completely disagree. Most successful Kickstarters are at least 75% done before launching. Maybe video games it's different but for board games you need to know what your game is and how to play it.
I true that alot of people dnd like the "super detailed and grity with long epic backstorys" but not everyone plays that way, and Kinda fell bad that you fell that way. Ive seen and play in campains that are more silly, or joke oriented and there so more fun.
goodgis, teach me your ways, im working on a game like d&d so please tell me what apps do u use to make the booklets and maps and just everything. if u know an app that uses AI to make art then please tell me I suck at it. well at least digital art my sis is a master at physical.
This has very little to do with this video, but every time I'm binging a new channel and I notice a ton of optimism and they say (or the date below the vid was) January or February 2020... YIKES... XD
I never played d&d but i played talisman, which we got for christmas since my mom used to play it in college almost ALL the time! which is actually very fun, it's almost like an RPG but it's a board game. You should check it out:)
Thank you. I am trying to make a micro-rpg where you try to get random items for no reason at all(really). Also, how do you reply to every commenter's comment(i was just wondering)?
Make sure to grab your very own PDF of Snomes today! firith.itch.io/snomes
Interesting
Fun fact: this is the third time i watch this vid
Idk why
what program did you use to make the character sheets?
If I could buy that at 10:21 EST, I'd do it, but I can't! I really want to start DMing; this would be the perfect tool for me!
The editing of this video was crazy good. Absolutely killing it!
Thanks Reece, this one took me awhile to do! haha
This is awesome! I've always wanted to play dnd but my friends and I never really understood how to play. This is a lot simpler so thank you so much!
Thanks so much! :D

Amazing video! & I for one, completely relate to the feeling of some RPGs feeling "stuffed".
I'm glad someone does! ;D
IVE BEEN CRAVING A NEW GOODGIS VIDEO FOR WEEKS, FINALLY!
:D Look for for another one this week as well.

Let's go Goodgis.
Ayyye!

It can be super fun! :D
I’m here waiting for the stream to start I’m very excited 👍
:D
I spent 8 minutes waiting for him to explain the gameplay 🤦🏼♂️
Love to see the board game/role playing vids!
Thanks so much, I would love to make more! :D
Congrats on releasing this! Seems really fun and cool :D
Thanks so much, also great work recently editing Jonas' videos. I've been loving them!
Can’t wait to try this out! I love how versatile your knowledge is when it comes to game design! Thanks so much for sharing your process!

Thanks so much! It was a fun project to work on!

Yay! Thank you!
I wish there was a bit more details about the mechanics, how you made choice about those, the player testing etc.. That would’ve been really interesting
I'll keep that in mind for future devlogs. Thanks! :D

We are in a process of finishing up a print & play version of it. And we are also working a digital table top simulator version so hopefully soon. :D

Sad i missed the premiere
Edit: this looks pretty fun!
Might try it soon
You should! :D
I'm getting some Kirby vibes from it.
What software do you use to set up your booklets and design your games?
My brothers used to play one called RIFT. Sounded cool! Never played it.
That's awesome! :D
SnomeCone
Nice! haha
ttrpgs are super fun to make. i made like 3 before i ever played d&d
That's awesome!
So exited!
:D
3:40 turkey oooo
:p
goodgis, teach me your ways, im working on a game like d&d so please tell me what apps do u use to make the booklets and maps and just everything. if u know an app that uses AI to make art then please tell me I suck at it. well at least digital art my sis is a master at physical.
D&D is just a game so i can ma’e my own.
Home brew d&d.:Am I joke to you?

another game. LETS GOOOOOOOO
:D
You inspired me to make my games
That's awesome!
2:28 This is why systems like FATE exist. They're made for people that want a RPG experience which is more "role playing" than "game."

Was that the theme? haha
