My March PnP

When I looked at my print and play crafting for March, I noticed that a lot of what I had made was playtesting prototypes from Buttonshy’s playtesting forum. 

Agropolis

Land of Amazement expansions (playtest)

Darlin’ Corey (RPG)

One Card Maze

Embers (playtest)

Veggie Knight Fight (2025 9 Card Contest)

Dragon’s Horde (2025 9 Card Contest)

Dice and Divination collection 

Pre-Existing Conditions 

Rolling Estate

Leaping Lions + expansions (playtest)


Technically, my ‘big’ project for the month was Agropolis. I think this is the third time I’ve made a copy. Possibly the second. I’ve had to make it multiple times because, my colorblindness on top of a black and white printer, I have to make adjustments with adding symbols to make it viable for me.

That being said, some of the playtests were larger. However, since they aren’t finished products, they are more of a gray area for me. I guess the same can be said for contest entries since many of those are also prototypes. They’re just ones I can write about :)

I also have to admit that I broke my promise to pace myself with playtests. I started out strong but I wasn’t able to give it much focus by the end of the month. Life and adulting was part of it but there’s also just making sure to not do too much.

Dice and Divination is an interesting model for my record keeping. It’s a collection of seven games that are interlocking in that each one requires the same number of 3d6 rolls and the scoring is supposed to be comparable. So you could have a group game with people playing different games. Still, for my purposes, it’s seven different games.

We will see what April will bring. I have already promised myself less playtests so the prototypes I do play can get more attention.
