How often do we suggest someone else indulge in entertainment we love? Or someone else suggests we immerse ourselves in their favorite fandom? While it’s great to try new things, we should also feel free to pass and say “It’s just not for me.” Likewise we should respect when others say “No, thanks,” when we enthusiastically promote our own passions.
In the Dragonstar universe, Psions are individuals who were naturally-gifted with psychic powers. They are presented here as a Seasoned archetype using the Savage Worlds system.
There's more than one kind of immersion in #TTRPGs. While character immersion gets the lion's share of discussion, you can also be immersed in the game mechanics, imagining the fiction, and even the events happening to the table as a whole. None of them are more important than the others.
Getting ready to push my #SciFi themed sheet for #SavageWorlds on #FoundryVTT out to patrons. It worked great during my Savage #Dragonstar session tonight and has given me a foundation to build the next theme - #fantasy (probably followed by #supers
I am SO GLAD we refocused on Sword Senpai! These changes actually have me excited to work on it. Now, if only I could work on it and pack and clean at the same time...
[#FreeRPGDay2023] A Taste of the Moon—A review of the story for Vampire: The Masquerade, Fifth Edition published Renegade Game Studios for Free RPG Day.
During my 40+ years of roleplaying gaming my tastes have changed, moving from reveling in multifaceted complexities in my game rules to a more elegant, streamlined approach reflecting my far more limited time and energy as well as an urge to make the hobby more accessible to newcomers.
I’m slowly rehabilitating the minis I painted way back in high school. Took photos of the latest ones, Grenadier skeletons. I usually just touch up the paint job, drybrush highlights, and give them a dark wash before sprucing up the base. These I stripped and started over from scratch since I wasn’t satisfied with the job young-me had done.
In the Dragonstar universe, Negotiators make their fortune not with gun or magic but with a sharp tongue and sharper wit. They are presented here as a Seasoned archetype using the Savage Worlds sys...
curious, does anyone run or play #ttrpgs that have no leveling for PCs? I wonder if anyone's using them for long form campaigns and how players keep up motivation?
The "Jaquaysing" VS "Xandering" thing is fascinating as it's a demonstration that language evolves.
Alexander coined the term to refer to the practice of taking extant dungeons and re-designing them to include design features that originated in Jaquays' work.
The #TTRPG scene then took the term and changed it to mean including Jaquaysian design principles in the creation of your own dungeon.
Buying really expensive WotC hardbacks and taking hours to comprehensively re-work every aspect of them is what Alexander does. It is about 60% of his shtick.
So I propose a compromise: "Xandering" (gerund) the practice of disassembling and reassembling things purchased at great expense when it would have been quicker, easier, and cheaper to build your own thing in the first place.
And when a lady tells you that you have her name wrong? You change the fucking name. #ttrpgs
