US healthcare bleeding me dry + kitty needs a few things. Help out & choose a reward! [Commissions also open.]
Goal update: 20 to go for kitty supplies. 50 for co-pay Monday. Anything helps. Can't tip or grab a reward? Boosts mean a lot too! I just need to reach enough eyes to make my goal. Love to you all!
People publishing #TTRPGs on itch! I often see older games popping up in the "Latest physical games" list months after their initial publication. I initially thought it was due to devlogs being published, but that doesn't seem to be the case...
Anyone knows this weird trick that 98% publishers hate?
One thing KILL THE CANDY KING is making me reflect on is the way I do structured stories in games. To me, it's a board game like approach. There are counters or mission parameters to be accomplished per phase. But I still run firmly sandbox in it.
It stands out to me that #TTRPGs tend to be heavy handed when it comes to story structures. Adventure modules with the clear line of plot dots are a classic example. But also "narrative" games that bake a lot of hard rules for story. There's fewer examples of counters + sandbox.
One last try. 90 away from making this specialist visit. Really need to see this doctor for a medication refill. Help a disabled weirdo out. Direct #MutualAid welcome, but #TTRPG rewards available!
They already pushed me to end of day. Running out of time. Any assistance appreciated. Happy to negotiate custom rewards!
Feathering Fantasy—A review of Overisles, the Arthurian aerial isle-crawl for Inspirisles, the sign language as magic roleplaying game published by Hatchlings Games.
I gotta admit that I'm disappointed to hear that Dire Wolf Digital will be supporting their board games at #GenCon and not the #CortexPrime or #TalesOfXadia#TTRPGs. It seems like a wasted opportunity.
hey #bisexual fedizens (just like me frfr), we're all aware of the bi disaster subtype, yeah? What other kinds of bisexuals are there? I need to know for subclasses for my #qttrpg
What is it about #TTRPGs that makes them so difficult to grasp? Other #TabletopGames don't need so much self-explanation or extensive play examples. Similar pursuits like participatory theater, mystery games, and other parlor games don't need them either. So why for RPGs?
1/3
Do not let a medieval setting bring out the outmoded and dehumanizing views that were historically accurate. That's not realism. That's just being an asshole.
Unless it is something the players can punch in the face, that is.
Today, our review gnome @WhatDoIKnowJR takes a look at the Shadow of the Weird Wizard. It’s more than just a less horror oriented version of Shadow of the Demon Lord. Drop by and find out what it’s got going on.
When I hear people say in #ttrpgs that they like to make up the character’s backstory and personality as they play rather than beforehand or at a session 0, I think they must have players that are far better at improv than the ones I play with.
In my experience, if a character doesn’t have a backstory at the beginning, they never will have one.
This time around, instead of looking at a game or game supplement, we're going to look at a book that's all about making GM's better at what they do, as we take a tour of The Ultimate RPG Game Master's Guide. #TTRPGs
