Enjoyed hanging out with Grueproof and talking solo RPGs. #SoloRPG #TTRPG Solo Role-Playing Games (S5E12) youtu.be/VPCBuiLyP0o

Getting back to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, mostly because I want to play a button smasher, and I don’t have Diablo with me.

Using #Shadowdark hex crawl rules to create the crash site region for my #StarTrek #CaptainLog solo game.

Embracing the long dark night by watching #TheTerror

We're editing our next episode, in which we talk about solo role-playing games. Which, of course, means more fun with machine-generated transcripts. #Editing #Podcasts

Figuring out NPCs for my #DnD campaign. To save on prep time, I'm trying to leverage the generic NPC blocks from the Monster Manual, and then tweaking (rather than building out the NPC characters with D&D Beyond, which is what I normally do).

"You failed, your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me." - Luke Skywalker #ReturnOfTheJedi #StarWars

"I love you." - Han "I know." - Leia #ReturnOfTheJedi #StarWars

"Cut to the left. I'll take the leader" - Wedge Antilles #StarWars #ReturnOftheJedi

"By now, you must know that your father can never be turned from the Dark Side." #StarWars #FalseConfidence #DarkSide

"The Force is strong in my family, my father had it, I have it, my sister has it. You have that power too." The Force ... or #ADHD #StarWars

"What are you telling them?" - Han Solo "Hello, I think. I could be mistaken. They're using a very primitive dialect." - C-3PO #StarWars #ReturnOfTheJedi

"But beware of the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression; the dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny." - Yoda #EmpireStrikesBack #StarWars

I'm not saying that everything I ever needed to know about romance, I learned from #EmpireStrikesBack, but ... it left an impression.

It used to be that the kids would get tech hand-me-downs. I'd by a Nintendo 3DS, and they'd bet my old Nintendo DS. Same deal with phones. I'd get a new iPhone, they'd get my old one. Now though, Neutronlad just got a #Switch2 ... and I inherited his old #SwitchOLED The circle is complete.

Re-watching #EmpireStrikesBack for umpteenth time (my wife wanted to watch it, and I'm not going to say no). It's the Battle of Hoth scene, and I find myself wanting to re-playing Rogue Squadron, one of the best games for the #N64

Terminator 2D No Fate ... you had me at "Red Jeep Wrangler" #Terminator2D #Terminator2NoFate #VideoGames

Quote of the game today as the party flees a gelatinous cube. "Everyone just light their own $^!@!& torch and run." - Torbin (Seer) (the party typically only has one light source going at a time, which was impeding their ability to run away) #ShadowDark #ShadowDarkRPG #TTRPG

Watching #Pluribus I can't help but get GenAI vibes from Carol's "friends", who are super eager to help in all things (want a hand grenade? Sure, have a hand grenade!).

That moment when you realize that ... damn, you've created a ton of NPCs. #DnD #Greyhawk #Greyhawk76 #TTRPG

Work in progress: Swamp's Fork. Located at one of the forks in the Swamp River (a prominent waterway in the Mistmash), Swamp's Fork is a temporary town catering to the criminal element. #Greyhawk #Greyhawk76 #Cartography

Mucking about with #Inkarnate v2.0 and watching #StrangerThings

Reading Dan Simmons’ The Terror on this cold December night. The sleet pinging off the windows is a distant echo of the arctic horrors the crews of the HMS Terror and Erebus are facing. #WinterReading #Horror #NauticalFiction #Novels

Tell me, friend, have you seen the Yellow Sign? #DeltaGreen #CallOfCthulhu

Opening Christmas presents next to the Geek Tree as Darth Vader Yule Log plays.

My print copy of #WIRED arrived today. Been a long time since I was a subscriber, and the magazine is much diminished in size ... but it's nice to have a physical copy again.

NeutronLad is on his first play through of #Cyberpunk2077 and just hit Johnny's assault on Arasaka Tower. I'm so proud. #GeekDad #Cyberpunk #MaybeNukesAreTheRealPunkRock

Wrapping presents. Badly.

Downloading #Terminator2NoFate on my Switch. This may be my last transmission.

Back to #Greyhawk76 (finally). The adventurers' vengeance-fueled quest to find the Burrow Boys has led them to the depths of the Mistmarsh. #DnD #TTRPG

And so was answered the question “how do I provide the PCs with a short cut to the end game? #DnD #GamePrep

What's your favorite Shadowdark adventure / module? We're gathering ideas for a future episode, and would love feedback from our community. Obviously, we're partial to Raiders of the Hidden Temple, but there are a ton of other options out there. #shadowdark #ShadowdarkRPG

Chill morning drinking coffee and recording a new season of Campaigns & Coffee with the @lairofsecrets.bsky.social crew. Our topics today: "Defining Cozy" and "Cozy Games" #podcast

The final episode of our Shadowdark: Raiders of the Hidden Temple actual play is up on YouTube and in the Lair of Secrets podcast feed. #Shadowdark #ActualPlay #TTRPG Share and enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2HU...

There’s no escaping snuggle time.

After a long hiatus (so long that Roll20 put the campaign in cold storage), I'm prepping for more Greyhawk '76. In order to save some NPC creation time (and kick the tires on #DnD2024), I'm reviewing the generically generic "monsters" (e.g. scout, tough, spy, berserker).

I haven't played Mutants & Masterminds since 1st edition. It was hella crunchy, though it sounds like it's become increasingly streamlined over the years.

More funky dice. This time four d12 dungeon generator dice by Viridian. The four dice cover: 1) Dungeon Room Type 2) Monsters 3) Traps 4) Treasure They're pretty nifty ... and I love that they're d12s (the d12 never seeming to get enough love). www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqgD...

Rewatching #MissionImpossible #DeadReckoning in anticipation of watching Part 2.

Re-watching Chapter 2 of #IT and mucking about with #ShadowDark

Hmmm. "Elder Froghemoth" is a thing. Oh, and look, I have Tales from the Infinite Staircase, which includes the statblock. Why, you ask? Oh, no reason. No reason at all. #DnD #GlubGlub

I got some new dice. :) Delver DungeonMorph by Inkwell Ideas youtu.be/nHX5cD4rFH4

Reconciling street addresses as part of the final push on a big college data project. Trying to stay motivated and not get distracted by Terminator 2: No Fate www.youtube.com/watch?v=8miD...

Obviously, as a gamer and a scouter, I'm getting this. www.chaosium.com/blogcoming-i... #TTRPG #CallOfCthulhu #Scouts

I just backed DarkSpace - Sci-Fi Rules for Shadowdark on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/dmi...

More monsters? Yes please! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CYe... I enjoyed the slow burn of the first season, and how it weaved new continuity into the movie series. It's kind of like the Clone Wars animated series in that way. #Monarch #CreatureFeature

Time for #GeekTree. More #StarWars. And more Mandolorian. This is the way.
