Welcome

This is the collaboration hub for Tardy Bird Games — where our group reads, playtests, and shapes the games we’re building together.

What lives here

• Rules drafts for the tabletop RPG currently in design (working title: LoreBuilder). Chapters appear here as they’re drafted, and update as playtest feedback comes in.
• Playtest notes on what changed between sessions and why.

Current status

The system is in early design. The core rules are being drafted now; the first readable chapters will land here when they’re ready for your eyes.

Want to weigh in?

See How to Give Feedback — every rule on this site got better because somebody at the table said “that felt weird.”

How to Give Feedback

Three ways, pick whatever’s easiest:

1. Say it at the table. Reactions during play are the best data we get.
2. Post in Discord. Drop thoughts in the feedback channels any time — they all get read and triaged into the design notes.
3. The post-session survey. After each playtest session you’ll get a short survey (about five minutes) on what dragged, what confused, and what felt great.

What makes feedback useful

• Specific beats general. “Initiative felt slow with six players” helps more than “combat was meh.”
• Table stories are gold. What actually happened in play — the rule that got looked up three times, the turn that took five minutes — tells us more than opinions about rules in the abstract.
• You don’t need a fix. Naming the problem is the valuable part; proposing solutions is optional (though welcome).
