Helloooooo
Long time no post.
It feels like cheating to say I've been working on this game since 2019, but that would not be an entirely inaccurate thing to say. The core of this game was actually one of the first things i ever designed, where i tried to see if i could make a halo TTRPG which allowed players to do anything that happened in the cutscenes or gameplay. this was difficult but created some fun constraints that left the game feeling dangerous and exciting without ever being quite as lethal as you think it is. The core rules were written up and I had run numerous successful playtests but i was worried about angering the behemoth at microsoft so I've shelved it.
Since then every couple of years or so I've had another idea of how to salvage this framework into something more my own, but each time something didn't sit right and i abandoned the project, unable to solve the design problems.
last august i picked up the project again and seem to have found a way through, as since then I've written over 20000 words in the project, conducted 5 really fun playtests and have completed a pretty decent chunk of the full book. I am really happy with how this is turning out but i need people who aren't my friends to look at this now and poke holes in it.
I want this game to be the best it can be so i am opening it up for everyone to read it and try it for themselves!
Thanks for reading and thanks for playing!
