Let's do a design delve into Sodalitas!
A tiny roleplaying game written and illustrated by Jan Van Houten with graphic design and editing by Nicolas Folliot.
The treasure today: just how much craft and polish can you put into less than 10 pages? Let's find out...
Which leads us to the art. It's creepy. It's demented. It plays very nicely with the xerox-burn, beat-to-hell design of Gradient Descent.
Illustrations don't sit on the page so much as reach through it like monsters behind frosted glass.
Exhibit A: Art
Right off the bat, the cover has this game's greatest visual achievements. Good color, evocative lettering, and an illustration that puts these soldiers' silhouettes on the mind like a memorial.
It invites engagement for a subject often dryly depicted.
Let's review the product design of "Ross Rifles" an RPG set in the Canadian trenches of WWI by @dundaswestgames.
Ross Rifles is 158 (6'' by 9'') pages of history combined with Powered by the Apocalypse mechanics in a two-column layout.
It comes with a purpose...
Let's review the layout and product design of @zedecksiew "Lorn Song of the Bachelor."
It's a 53-page adventure/dungeon delve with, uh... hmmm, these page dimensions don't exist in any standard I can find (6.08 x 8.52 in). Looks like A5 with the bleed still attached. Clever.
A new rpg! Worth the look if you're a fan of FTL, arcade cabinets (and maybe even Galaxy Trucker??). Check the punny ship names.
