BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

I actually prefer the piles of tokens; it feels more tactile, like a boardgame, and makes it clear at a glance how relatively damaged everyone is.

I’m not especially interested in relative damage, I care about the facts. Fact #1: Even now that the width of the iframe is dynamic, I still have to scroll left or right to see all the information.

I suppose it depends what players are most often looking to read. It seems useful right now that we can tell at a glance that, eg. you and Card have equal amounts of damage, as do Cuddlebeam and the Attendant. It’s even clear with minimal deduction that the difference between those totals is six (because the tokens of the less damaged players are indented by three on either side).

Looking at “Attendant: Soulx6, Fleshx2; Card: Fleshx9, Reality, Spatialx5, Soulx2; Cuddlebeam: Fleshx7, Realityx2, Spacialx2; Tantusar: Soulx13, Fleshx4”, it’s much less obvious where everyone stands.

Numbers would be better for making it clear that nine Flesh tokens aren’t ten, when we care about someone hitting ten, but I don’t think that’s enough of a benefit to drop the handful-of-poker-chips aesthetic. (I’d probably go for adding extra token styles for critical damage levels; at 10 Flesh you replace them with an equivalent 1 Skull, which you can break for change later on.)

I was about to propose this myself actually, its really just my impression of what would be more ergonomic for myself

I like it how it is now

CoV to a DEF, as how I read it matters less than how active players do.
