Like table top role-playing games? I sure hope so! Today, I'll take you on a journey on how I successfully released my very own role-playing game on Kickstarter. It's called Snomes, and it's a mini tabletop role-playing game with a focus on magic and wintery gnomes. With its D6 based system, anyone with a standard six sided die can quickly jump in. Making it a great role-playing system for new players. From D&D to graphic designing, join along and enjoy the process of how I created Snomes.

Interesting
Fun fact: this is the third time i watch this vid
Idk why
what program did you use to make the character sheets?
If I could buy that at 10:21 EST, I'd do it, but I can't! I really want to start DMing; this would be the perfect tool for me!
It's so sad hearing a story about someone spending January/February 2020 cooped up at home online like, "Don't worry in March and April I'll go out and have a life."
Well, Ohio gets a ton of snow so that's just how we live haha
Why? You think "going out" is "better"? It's so subjective. I prefer the expansive depth of complex systems and ideas that I explore at home. Books, videos, simulations. It's amazing.
@@nemesisurvivorleon sure you might enjoy staying inside but you don't want to be trapped inside for 2 years right after you decided not to spend anytime before it.
@@nemesisurvivorleon People might enjoy staying inside but after a bit everyone needs some human interaction
What are you talking about?? I prefer to stay inside most of the time myself and it’s actually just “so sad hearing a story about someone” who can’t enjoy themselves without others to supplement that enjoyment.
The editing of this video was crazy good. Absolutely killing it!
Thanks Reece, this one took me awhile to do! haha
This is awesome! I've always wanted to play dnd but my friends and I never really understood how to play. This is a lot simpler so thank you so much!
Thanks so much! :D
While most P&P RPGs are made to give as much freedom and flexibility (with respect to character design, story and progression) as possible, I love the idea of taking the concept of a GM leading a few players through a story, but limiting the "possibility space" such that it becomes a real game again revolving around one or few core mechanics. It's like the genre of P&P is progressing by taking things away instead of adding.
Heck yeah, I totally agree!
A good DM will do that without you noticing.
Amazing video! & I for one, completely relate to the feeling of some RPGs feeling "stuffed".
I'm glad someone does! ;D
IVE BEEN CRAVING A NEW GOODGIS VIDEO FOR WEEKS, FINALLY!
:D Look for for another one this week as well.
YESSSSSSS
My experience with writing TTRPGs is it requiers both technical writing and creative writing, both can be difficult. I am almost finished writing my TTRPG "Children With Wands" I am hoping to have it done by the end of the year.
That's fantastic! Best of luck to you!
We have "Wizard with a Gun
" and now "Children with Wands". What's next, "Soldiers with Toys"?
Can’t wait to try this out! I love how versatile your knowledge is when it comes to game design! Thanks so much for sharing your process!
- Foster
Thanks so much! It was a fun project to work on!
I wish there was a bit more details about the mechanics, how you made choice about those, the player testing etc.. That would’ve been really interesting
I'll keep that in mind for future devlogs. Thanks! :D
Let's go Goodgis.
Ayyye!
@@Goodgis have a good day man.
Let's goooooodgis
Congrats on releasing this! Seems really fun and cool :D
Thanks so much, also great work recently editing Jonas' videos. I've been loving them!
Nice to hear of someone making a published TTRPG that differentiates itself from DnD! I just finished making an Untitled Science Board Game for Science class, and I needed to watch a video about someone else making a board game to chillax, so kudos to you and Brad!
Snomes looks so clean, and loads of fun!
I've been playing D&D for years, and I always try to make my games comical and fun, and often succeed. But I have to agree! Lately, I've been feeling dragged down by all of minutia, mechanical nit-pick, and heavy or dark themes that often accompany the game inherently. I've tried and failed many times to make my own system, but this is inspiring!
You totally should make your own! It's a fantastic experience. :D
Looks pretty cool! I was never a huge role player until a join a D&D campaign. Then I joined another... and another... and now I've got that itch again.
Great to hear about this!
It can be super fun! :D
I've been checking back everyday for a new video! Finally! Yay!
There will be another one this week as well! :D
D&D has nothing on this
You're too kind!
may i please have some clout
Hello PolyMars
@@lonelyfloat2582 this cloud wants some clout
@@BumpDev you know it!
I've ran Snomes three times with friends, and we've had a blast every time! This is a well-designed game 💜
Super happy to hear it! :D
Love to see the board game/role playing vids!
Thanks so much, I would love to make more! :D
I’m here waiting for the stream to start I’m very excited 👍
:D
This sounds like such a cool project! You might just tempt me to go and make my own game XD
always excited for a new goodgid upload
:D
The video was awesome! Loved it!
Yay! Thank you!
Love your board game videos!
Yay, thank you!
The videos are so high quality now! Also, you're so close to 50k! :O
Thanks so much! :D
@@Goodgis :D
@@eboatwright_ Should I do a 50k special?
@@Goodgis Yeah! :D
Another great video from a great game dev
That means so much!
Another amazing video :D
Thanks so much, Grady!
You may be interested in Monster of the week, it's more narrative focus, and you technically only need 4 pages to play. I showed the rule set to my bf who was kinda overwhelmed by dnd's rules and his answer was "wait, that's it?"
Sounds interesting! :D
Goddammit I saw the word "chaotic" and immediately thought this was a devlog of the Brackeys Game Jam
XD
Snomes is amazing. Me and my family played it, and we loved it. The reckless reactions were extremely funny, and I could actually play this game, unlike D&D.
Super happy to hear that!
Me joins Firith Discord. Me finds out about their newest game called Snomes. Me 2 minutes later reloads CZcams page and sees that Googdis has uploaded a new video. Me sees that this new video is about Snomes. hmmmm
What can I say, we love Snomes!
So exited!
:D
game jam is very soon cant wait! :)
I know, I'm super excited!
Cool story, video and game!
If youa re into small creativity-driven rol games, def look for FATE !
In a nutshel, FATE is a system where the players can choose what to do with their characters, anything, and is up to the Master and a couple limitant sentences how difficcult it should be for the character. Is a light and newcomer friendly system that I really like, good for setting fun stories fast too!
Sound sweet! I'll have to check it out. :D
I love this game!
Short and sweet, i like it
That's the only way I roll!
I legit saw this on your website before you uploaded this vid
That's awesome! :D
Now this is a different kind of game dev
I just wanna say that dnd can definitely be just dumb fun. Example in my group I was about to pay a tavern owner in gold and obviously that was a big deal so I asked him if he had any change he said that he doesn’t have enough change so I said wait a minute to the bartender went outside flew up in the air (I was a dragon born) and asked my dm if I saw any atms obviously I didn’t bc fantasy and now it’s a running joke that I always look atms whenever we get to a new town/village
That's what I love about it!
Goodgis was back y'all.
Heck yeah!
I also want to get your other game the keeyp!
We are working on! :D
ttrpgs are super fun to make. i made like 3 before i ever played d&d
That's awesome!
this is epic.... you should try new board games and make one every year your last board game inspired me to make a boardgame and so many other people. keep it up
Thanks so much! :D
My brothers used to play one called RIFT. Sounded cool! Never played it.
That's awesome! :D
I never played d&d but i played talisman, which we got for christmas since my mom used to play it in college almost ALL the time! which is actually very fun, it's almost like an RPG but it's a board game. You should check it out:)
That's sounds sweet! I'll have to check it out!
tbh i totally agree with you on the disclaimer.
:D
You inspired me to make my games
That's awesome!
What are the mechanics of this game which make it stand out from other systems? Also, I’m a bit confused about the one system you mentioned, so please correct me if I’m wrong:
Is there a 1/6 chance every time you roll for anything that you will trigger a single, predetermined effect?
Yes, but it's from a list of many and the players are encouraged to create their own. Normally, you'll have about 2-3 reckless reactions per session as you don't roll as much in the game. It's super chaotic and silly, and make it a fun and casual way to roleplay. :D
Holy moly
:D
another game. LETS GOOOOOOOO
:D
2:48 thats the background davvy chappy uses all the time lol
Nice! haha
I kind of forgor 💀 (heh) about this
Sad i missed the premiere
Edit: this looks pretty fun!
Might try it soon
You should! :D
When he says rest of day but its night for you...
XD
I true that alot of people dnd like the "super detailed and grity with long epic backstorys" but not everyone plays that way, and Kinda fell bad that you fell that way. Ive seen and play in campains that are more silly, or joke oriented and there so more fun.
3:40 turkey oooo
:p
Hey D&D doesn't haves to be complicated math, DM's mostly do all of that for you, instead you and your table focus on creating fun stories! Rule of cool, modules, made up rules, whatever to make it fun! And it doesn't haves to necessarily be grimmy and dark. You make the game whatever you want, the rules are just a foundation that can be molded to your content, the world and environment can also be modify to your hearths content! And there are alternatives to D&D with less rules like City of Mist which is more focused on "todays goal is to make a fun or cool story in this imaginary world of ours" than "Todays goal is to finish the quest!"
Also, the 1 rule in this game is fumble + wild magic on D&D. The chance of getting wild magic consequences rises everytime you successfully avoid them, making it more and more probable to happen, and when it happens anything from a table of 100 different consequences could happen, even made up consequences.
Thanks for sharing! :D
@@Goodgis No worries! I still think that your board game is pretty cool!
I’m gonna make my own game I think. Cause frankly I hate reading. It’s true I just don’t like to. But I love the role play aspect…and fantasy :)
Heck yeah!
Hey, @Goodgis! Any ETA on when The Keeyp pre-orders will be up? I checked for updates on Kickstarter, but I'm locked out of them because I'm not a backer.
Same, would love to know
We are in a process of finishing up a print & play version of it. And we are also working a digital table top simulator version so hopefully soon. :D
@Goodgis, when do you think the physical copies will be up for pre-order? I appreciate the digital options, but I'm pretty old school when it comes to my board games.
@@justinr1094 Might not be for awhile! We are still waiting for our copies from June to be printed. Production time is crazy right now with all of the shortages.
Okay, that's very understandable! I'll continue to have my eyes peeled for pre-orders!
This has very little to do with this video, but every time I'm binging a new channel and I notice a ton of optimism and they say (or the date below the vid was) January or February 2020... YIKES... XD
"we launched the Kickstarter before the game was finished"
yes, that is how Kickstarter is... supposed to work, that is the... entire point of kickstarter
I completely disagree. Most successful Kickstarters are at least 75% done before launching. Maybe video games it's different but for board games you need to know what your game is and how to play it.
What software do you use to set up your booklets and design your games?
Yeyyy goodgiss :DDDD
I've returned!
Ayyyyy squarespace
Ayyyyeeeee!
Nice video bro, I liked your editing and your game, but I have a question, how can I find the game The ancient castle in 3:50, and it is yours? Thanks.
I never released it. ;(
@@Goodgis ummh okay :'( thanks.
I Play DD with my friends and i agere so Much wich you! Sorry my spelling… im from denmark!
Thanks so much! :D
basically wild magic in christmas(?
Yup!
am i imagining things or is that the magicka 2 soundtrack? 0:51
Am I the only one that thought that this game was made for Brackeys Game Jam? :D
LOL, and no haha
SnomeCone
Nice! haha
D&D is just a game so i can ma’e my own.
Home brew d&d.:Am I joke to you?
Yus haha
I'm currently making my own ttrpg, based around pirates, hardest part is trying to make unique mechanics
It can be but I'm excited to see what you come up with! :D
Yooo
nice ;D
Thanks! :D
My parents bought me snomes for Christmas cuz Bradley told me about it lol
That's awesome! :D
2:28 This is why systems like FATE exist. They're made for people that want a RPG experience which is more "role playing" than "game."
Heck yeah!
you should play "dungeon world"
I'll have to check it out! :D
Thank you. I am trying to make a micro-rpg where you try to get random items for no reason at all(really). Also, how do you reply to every commenter's comment(i was just wondering)?
Officially subscribed
It takes a long time but I love interacting with everyone so it's worth it. Also I love that idea. :D
I thought this was for the brackys game jam lol
Was that the theme? haha
@@Goodgis Let there be chaos xD this would fit it perfectly
goodgis, teach me your ways, im working on a game like d&d so please tell me what apps do u use to make the booklets and maps and just everything. if u know an app that uses AI to make art then please tell me I suck at it. well at least digital art my sis is a master at physical.
I want to try it, and only 5 dollars? Wow
:D
i also have serton season for diffrent hobbies but instead of seasons i have pahses where i like one of my hobbies out of a small pool of them
Finally
I'm back! :D
Bring back the keeyp
Great news, we already have plans!
ever played "how to be a hero"?
Nope?
i mean i refuse to play any other race than rock gnomes when i play dnd so i'd play snomes yeah
Heck yeah! :D
hi there! I cannot find any gameplay video. Is there any?
Several groups have done streams online. :D
@@Goodgis Thank you for letting me know. I couldn't find any though. Would you mind linking any recordings, please?
Can you please start reprinting the Keep
3:31 When you order Justin Bieber from Wish.
What happened to the egg game
I was sick that past couple of week, but those livestreams will return!
Happy to be the 3,700th viewer
Me too! :D
I spent 8 minutes waiting for him to explain the gameplay 🤦🏼♂️
Steam release?
It's a pen and paper game, so that would be impossible haha
snomes.
SNOMES!
SNOMES!!!
Role Master most complex game ever made.
Really? Why is it so hard?
Clutch?
;)
Y don’t u just use a d12 instead of 2D6?
Did you know that DnD is 9 years older than the internet ?
Yus
Please can bring back keeyp and do you ship it to india
We want too! :D
I'm like 1,000 but who cares... Have a great day!
Thanks so much! :D
0:33 so you think it's to edgy and want to make a family freindly version
Maybe
