Show HN: Pen and paper resource development game with an emergent world

https://www.jameshylands.co.uk/2026/06/sortis-paper-empire-game.html
12•jhylands•2h ago
I've been working for a while on trying to curate a game that has the emergence of procedurally generated computer games but that can be played with only pen and paper. Here I present the best version I've been able to come up with that is simple and emergent. I've really enjoyed being able to engage with this sort of game while not feeling like my brain in rotting. I recon my numeracy improves while playing it.

> simple and emergent

It's certainly interesting and all. But if this is your idea of a simple boardgame, what on earth do you consider a complex one?
