EBB Design Diary #1: Catching Up!
Welcome to the Eight Bells Bluff (EBB) game design diary! Eight Bells Bluff is a tabletop role-playing game designed by writers for writers, new and seasoned.
The design team consists of me, Fred Charles, and Annie James Thomas. Not only are we writers, but we are owners of Loud Coffee Press LLC and its corresponding literary magazine.
As avid gamers, we have dreamed of making our own game, but we were waiting for the right idea to emerge from the universe. When the concept for EBB appeared from the creative ooze of our brains, we knew it was the one.
I started game mastering Dungeons and Dragons at age eleven and continued playing for the next 20 years. Besides Dungeons and Dragons, I have played Warhammer Fantasy, Paranoia, Traveller, Call of Cthulu, Chill, GURPS, Palladium, and countless others that I've forgotten over time.
As a child, Annie James Thomas created a live-action role-playing game about solving detective mysteries and putting criminals behind bars. The game involved live scenarios, written clues, puzzle-solving, and short story writing. She went on to play for about 10 years, and now plays Dungeons and Dragons with her kids.
Eight Bells Bluff is in currently in the game design phase. We are busy writing the backstory, fleshing out the game phases, and working on the Kickstarter campaign.
Our goal is to create a game that helps new writers learn the craft and presents a challenge to experienced writers. Many of us writers deal with creative block. EBB will help get your creative juices flowing by guiding you through each twist and turn of a story that you create!
Our primary focus at the moment is to have a working prototype by late December 2020 before the Kickstarter launches.

Happy Writing!

A scientific calculator tutorial saved as MP4 can be useful, but text instructions are often easier to follow. If you need stills from that video for notes or slides, a converter lets you set an interval and export JPG, PNG, or WebP, or grab a ZIP. For calculations shown on screen, Video to Frames can also help.
Harm reduction tools like naloxone vending machines work best when people can access them without barriers, similar to how Size It Up makes daily estimation practice free and open to everyone. Both remove friction. The real challenge with vending machines is keeping them stocked and discreet enough that people actually use them.
Avoiding new debt during COVID is hard when old habits pull you back. One small trick that helped me: highlight only the key numbers in my budget notes with a bold text generator, so due dates and amounts stand out instead of blending into the wall of text.
Connecting ongoing donations to creative storytelling is inspiring. With a hotel lobby ai, charities could turn two simple photos into short music videos, making updates more engaging for supporters. Even 5 to 15 second clips might help share progress in a fresh way.
