Black Shield had a great Orcacon. We averaged around 6 players at a time over the eighteen hours that Beyond the Gates ran. That is about 125 total player hours. And they defeated the (removed for spoilers). Thanks Orcacon for having us again (our 7th time here running a continuous game)

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

If you want to know what we do that isn't like most ttrpgs, you can hear about it here. I don't generally like saying we do anything unique or different, but there aren't a lot of GM groups doing things like this that I have encountered - if you know of any I would love to connect.

We are playing Doom Theory at @ookiisoracon.bsky.social and we got all three assassin variants together at the same table to combine their powers. Three great players doing great things #faterpg #ttrpg

My "Fantastic Four." (I am old school.) I have used them in a lot of ttrpgs over the year. a lot. #marvel #dnd

Yes, the #1 rule in ttrpg is "maximize player fun" but practically the number one rule to doing that is "make character actions matter" and that applies to all styles of ttrpg from story to gamist. Might also be too generic to be useful, but ends up being relevant a lot to my game design.

Prepping for @ookiisoracon.bsky.social this weekend. I will be there next weekend running a LARP (Gods of Story), a continuous multi-table ttrpg event (Doom Theory), some D&D (Inn to Chaos) and a horror tarot card game (Prom Night) Excited for the old and new players I will meet!

This passing sequence from Natisha Hiedeman to Alanna Smith to Jessica Shepard 😯

So we'll try out a WNBA CC take: I loved watching Caitlin Clark in college, but don't in the pros because it seems like she is just always grumpy and upset and not enjoying herself on the court. I don't know why that should matter - she is there to win, but it makes her less fun to me.

I know I came on to bluesky to talk tabletop rpgs but I find that I mostly just follow live WNBA discourse now. Which is mostly blocking and muting. I have blocked way more people than I have actual posts on Bluesky. 🤷
