Strategicon – Sean Nittner

Lean Coffee Game Design

Mechanics around racing for RPGs. Text that teaches vs. text as reference. Lull between character creation and play. Do mechanics determine theme? Mechanics to foster player to player (instead of player to GM) interaction. Good stuff!

Human 2.0 (8/31/2023)

The Frame Up (8/31/2025)

actual play, Blades '68, playtest, Strategicon, The Frame Up

Palace agents set up. Experimental Bubble technology people would kill to get. Resonance battles. Love and betrayal. Yay!

Tomb of the Twins (8/30/2025)

actual play, playtest, Spell and Blade, Strategicon

After a recently earthquake the people of Zerenbor were plagued by a necrotic mist and saw more and more ghouls at night. Our boon companions set out to the Tomb of Twins to find the source of this mist and stop it!

Desperate Treasure Hunters (8/30/2025)

The Frame Up (8/29/2025)

A figure is thrown out the top-floor window with a muffled bang. They fall backwards in a sparkling shower of glass, briefcase in one hand. Which of you is falling through the air to the alley below?
