Chris Spivey (Author)<p>Deep in revision mode on [REDACTED] this morning, combing through notes from the last two playtests and player feedback.

Chris Spivey (Author)<p>Somewhere between Gate B12 and a wild idea—I'm crafting my <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GameHoleCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GameHoleCon</span></a> special event game with the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OuroborosSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OuroborosSystem</span></a>.

Chris Spivey (Author)<p>Decisions, decisions… With some incredible <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HauntedWest" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HauntedWest</span></a> games already lined up by the Balladeers at <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GameHoleCon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GameHoleCon</span></a>, I’m tempted to mix things up. Maybe it’s time to unveil something from the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OuroborosSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OuroborosSystem</span></a> —a Darker Hue original.

Chris Spivey (Author)<p>🎲 It’s time! Tonight is the Playtesting Finale! The sessions have led up to this moment—clues uncovered, false leads followed, and near-fatal battle. ⚔️🕵️♂️ My two favorite pieces of feedback? Mechanics tweaks & WORLD LORE deep dives.

Chris Spivey (Author)<p>T-Minus 1.5 hours until [REDACTED] session 3! I'm prepping and (re)reviewing previous player feedback from the last few playtests. I'm immensely pleased with how it's going, but the playtest brings out a few fiddly bits that need to be smoothed out. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OuroborosSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OuroborosSystem</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GameDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GameDesign</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPGs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TTRPGs</span></a></p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>Gamer designer dad moment! Kiddo’s played 5E D&D in the campaign I run and some <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OuroborosSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OuroborosSystem</span></a> for solo games. She’s asked how BGEE worked, while I was playing and I broke it down for her. Then she asked I run her lot of <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPGs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TTRPGs</span></a>, so she can learn game mechanics how I did at her age! Where to start</p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>Spent most of yesterday working on a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HarlemUnbounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HarlemUnbounding</span></a> project and pretty pleased with how it turned out. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Ouroborossystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ouroborossystem</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GameDev</span></a> <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/ouroboros-system-116823326?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">patreon.com/posts/ouroboros-sy</span><span class="invisible">stem-116823326?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link</span></a></p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>It’s [REDACTED] session 2 night! I’m pretty excited after how well the last one went. Everyone really got into the game. Tonight with a smaller group I’m focusing on another aspect of the game. I love this part. The writing, the designing, and player feedback. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OuroborosSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OuroborosSystem</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GameDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GameDesign</span></a></p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>The kiddo overhead I was running three campaigns and demanded thier game be a campaign. So, four campaigns it is! I've been reading a lot of fantasy, and it was a heavily altered 5E. Z and I could make a fantasy game with the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Ouroborossystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ouroborossystem</span></a> (OS) instead. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/kiddesigner" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>kiddesigner</span></a></p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>I’ve been noodling around on a <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/WorldWar2" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WorldWar2</span></a> idea and putting pen to paper this morning with the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OuroborosSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OuroborosSystem</span></a>. It’s a time period I’ve worked in and have been reading up on. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/gamedevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gamedevelopment</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TTRPG</span></a></p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>Tonight is <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/XMen97" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>XMen97</span></a> season one finale with an excellent bourbon. 🥃 This season has been killing it and makes me want to run another <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OuroborosSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OuroborosSystem</span></a> X-men’97 one shot! What do you say <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GenrelessPod" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GenrelessPod</span></a>?</p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>It’s a working breakfast. [REDACTED] has been burning in my brain for a while and finally get it on the page is a blast! I’d been noodling but actively taking 2-hours daily for writing has me in high gear again. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ouroborossystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ouroborossystem</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/gamedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gamedesign</span></a></p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>I'm ready for [REDACTED] session 2! A full house of playtesters, <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Ouroborossystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ouroborossystem</span></a> universal rules draft at the read, the horrific tale burning in my brain for a Halloween spin, and a heavy pour of whiskey. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Gamedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gamedesign</span></a></p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>My brain’s focusing on this <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GenCon2016" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GenCon2016</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Gumshoe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gumshoe</span></a> scenario I wrote, occasionally tinkering with it. Maybe it’s time to rewrite it for my <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HarlemUnbounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HarlemUnbounding</span></a> Patreon? Maybe make it <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OuroborosSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OuroborosSystem</span></a>? Don’t mind my incredible delicious breakfast of tamales with egg and coffee.</p>
Chris Spivey (Author)<p>On the road but <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/gamedesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gamedesign</span></a> doesn't rest and neither do I. On a boat, a plane, battling dragons, or enduring bad coffee I'm <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a>. T-3 days until <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/REDACTED" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>REDACTED</span></a> playtest session 2!

Chris Spivey (Author)<p>Spent some time this morning on <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/OuroborosSystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OuroborosSystem</span></a> [REDACTED]. I’m excited for it and will be dropping bits of it on the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/HarlemUnbounding" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HarlemUnbounding</span></a> patreon soon. I can’t wait to hear what those folks think from their sneak peak. <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a></p>
