The Black Hack - The Teach (pt 1/3)

Welcome! My name is Jface and I'm a TTRPG & Board Game enthusiast. I'm in the midst of creating my own game, and as I go through the process i'm exploring what makes other games work so well. We are analyzing mechanics, and the math behind it as well as the general feel. If you are also building a game then come along for the ride!

I like black hack and the black hack "hacks". Its very flexible and easy to use

[@jfacegames7354]

I’m a fan of some of the mechanics now for sure!

[@epee11c]

The leveling concept is very cool! I might have to borrow something like that.

[@jfacegames7354]

Totally agree

[@Drudenfusz]

Didn't knew that the Black Hack had usage dice, that mechanism feels not really OSR to me, but it is great mechanism.

I’m currently obsessed with Usage Die. Its making a huge impact on my current design. I have a new video talking about the updates, but its all I’m talking about in discord, haha. Also, i think i screwed up in the video and the Usage die in Black Hack steps down on a 1-2, not just a 1

If you like the usage die its worth checking out The Rad Hack Its a post apocalyptic hack of Black Hack and they use the usage die for a lot more things such as radiation build up etc Although the creator of Black Hack often warns against over use of the Usage Die, hes made some blog posts about it. Worth a read for the steal!

[@jfacegames7354]

That’s cool! I’ll have to check out his blog posts. Be curious about his thoughts on the matter if he has playtested it a lot
