Scott returns from KamCon, and after some catching up, they dive headfirst into the messy fun of genre preferences & prejudices. Keith bares his aversion to sci-fi, while Scott admits his frustration at never finding a supers RPG that lives up to the comic books. 😊🤘 open.spotify.com/episode/1ndQ...

Had a bit of personal TTRPG lightbulb moment, but can’t be arsed to parse it out into threads, so a Notes snapshot it is. 😅

Spent the evening editing two videos for my YouTube channel, two episodes for the Titterpigs podcast, and one very delayed Titterpigs Patreon video. I am going cross-eyed so calling it a night.

Another carrot dangled for one of my players, leading into Impossible Landscapes in October. 🥕

While there may not be a rapture tomorrow, I did eat Taco Bell tonight, so at some point in the morning, there will be at the very least, a rupture.

PS: If you have a podcast, I'd love to talk about D&D history (and inevitably the upcoming kickstarter). Drop me a line! (The only caveat is that I'm in Hawaii, so they need to be what's likely afternoon or evening your time.)

Maximized Sunday lounging.

Hi all. We are putting together a memorial video for @budsrpgreview.bsky.social and would love for folks to be part of it. It can be a short video reel, an audio note, some words to be read, or even just a photo, whatever feels right. If you’d like to join in, let me know and I’ll send more info.

When your players give you just enough detail about their agents’ backgrounds to let you screw with them for the next few weeks leading up to the first session of Impossible Landscapes. 😈

Next month…

What’s a movie that is objectively bad, but would make an absolutely killer RPG scenario? 🤔🎥🎲 #ttrpg

Considering the prescient path we may be going, I’d be very nervous if I lived in Morro Bay right now. That is unless you own real estate in the future Corporate District. In that case, pop open a bottle of Chateau Delen 2012, keep your head low, and simply, comply, choom. What could go wrong?

One of the things I look forward to the most these days is when my son takes a break from his college work to share pieces of his worldbuilding with me. Watching his imagination at work is an absolute joy. 😊

Spending the evening prepping to run The Black Company playtest. When the Lady’s Empire, with all its grim treachery, still counts as an escape, you know it’s been a week. 🤘🏻

Pedantimantics (n.) – The dark art of quibbling over exact definitions in the TTRPG hobby, like ironically spending more time debating whether a “one-shot” means a 2–4 hour game than it would take to just play one. Can make the rules lawyer look like a carefree “Yes, and” improv coach. 😜

Travel back to 1980's Japan with Syrinscape! Our SoundPack for The Sutra of Pale Leaves - Twin Suns Rising, pt 2 helps set the scene for your encounters with the Prince of Pale Leaves. SuperSyrin and Sci-fi subscribers now have full access! @chaosium.bsky.social #CallofCthulhu #ttrpg

I think i’d like to host some light hearted, humorous debates, where two people defend their preferred system for a specific RPG genre, and I’ll just sit back and moderate the chaos. 😅

Steampunk has never been in my top 10, but I don’t dislike it either. Last weekend an opinion was given that may explain why many do. Cyberpunk works because it’s both an ideology and an aesthetic, with something to say and a distinctive look. Steampunk, on the other hand, is mostly all aesthetic. 🤔

One hour until our last Brindlewood Bay episode (for now)!!! Come join us as the mavens try to figure out what happened to the missing travelers! Was it an undead conquistador? Was it a Werewolf? Was it the Frog or the Rat? We’ll know soon on… THE HEX FILES! www.youtube.com/live/GQ2FN3H...

Didn’t come home with a big haul from KamCon, but what I did get was awesome. Highlights include having my books signed, picking up a DG slipcase and having it signed for my friend’s daughter, an awesome gift of Prince Valiant, a KamCon jersey, and best of all, a copy of The Black Company playtest.🤘🏻

Just touched down at home from KamCon and, well, at least it’s like I left it I suppose. 😅

Heading home from @kamcon.bsky.social. Huge thanks to @brendanlasalle.bsky.social @ludovic.chabant.com @shaneivey.bsky.social @rachelkivey.bsky.social @drgonzo123.bsky.social for some great times and laughs, and special gratitude to this man right here @jdroucker.bsky.social for making it happen. 🤘🏻😊

Ending @kamcon.bsky.social on a high by playing in the first public play-test of The Black Company by @arcdreampublishing.bsky.social 🤘🏻😊 #ttrpg

Some @kamcon.bsky.social pics taken by Brendan Lasalle. 😅

A little downtime in the @kamcon.bsky.social rotunda.

Fantastic time running @joeyroyale.bsky.social’s WHPA for this wonderful crew at @kamcon.bsky.social and I think there might be some young new fans of game in Canada now. 🤘🏻😊

Was picked by this French-Canadian on the way to @kamcon.bsky.social. He keeps talking to me but I can’t understand him due to his OUTRAGEOUS accent. 😜

Just about sunrise and a beauftiful morning overlooking the Thompson River in Kamloops. Almost time for the first full day at @kamcon.bsky.social and it’s going to be a busy one. 🤘🏻😊🇨🇦

Closing the day with an excellent game of Delta Green with @ludovic.chabant.com at the helm and the Doc in Yellow representing the UK Grogs at @kamcon.bsky.social 🤘🏻😊

Well I didn’t win The Taskmaster gameshow at @kamcon but on the plus side, the t-shirt I made for the worst gift portion of the game did not get me banned from Arc Dream for life. 😅

It’s a beautiful day for con here in Canada, and I never thought I’d be saying these words, but @jdroucker.bsky.social and I are starting the day by picking up Dennis Detwiller at the Kamloops airport. 😅 #kamcon

I don’t see playing an RPG as written as obedience to designer intent, it’s simple courtesy. Someone sweated these mechanics, tone, and little touches that make it whole. Trying it as intended is a way of showing you appreciate the whole of what was made, the good and the bad, before reshaping it.

Heading up to KamCon in a couple of days, so I decided to squeeze in one or two more unboxing videos before I go. This one is a stack of books I’ll be muleing up to Kamloops for my friend @jdroucker.bsky.social Hope he doesn't ask where I will be storing them. 😜 youtu.be/FdyODoJvB4E #ttrpg

Doctor I trust more than RFK Jr.

*SPOILER ALERT* Bud was running God’s Teeth for @sdorward.bsky.social @sskorkowsky.bsky.social @adriangamenerd.bsky.social and me before he passed. It’s a dark game, but Bud always let us chuckleheads sneak in humor to break the tension. Here’s some inside jokes we shared that came from our antics.😅

After a series of roadblocks, hurdles, and tragic loss, we have crawled back up from the pit and into the Titterpig's studio to dust off the microphones, bring you all up to date, and take a moment to reflect on our friend Bud. ❤️ #ttrpg creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

As the house reorg continues, I came across this ancient tome stuffed away. It’s the 1982 American printing. I need to check later, but I believe some of the art was left out as to avoid American mothers clutching their pearls over their little angels being fully exposed to Russ Nicholson’s art. 🤔🤷🏼

Let’s do this.! ❤️

National Security Council has asked that we release episode 01 to the public on Wednesday, Sept 17th. Clearance was provided to patrons. www.patreon.com/posts/pilot-...

Today was Bud’s memorial and though I couldn’t be there, I took a moment to remember the good times by rewatching the 50th birthday card we all made. An amateur hodgepodge of silliness, but worth it to see him shine and get verklempt. 😊 Love you, Bud. You are sorely missed. youtu.be/yBVJRerWg5g?...

It's been a rough couple of months, but I am still in the game as I am back with Yet Another Completely Unprofessional Unboxing...at least I think so. My head is a little fuzzy about all the events. Have you seen The Yellow Shirt? 😜 #ttrpg #chaosium youtu.be/jbrJYiXemgo

Way back in October 2019, I ran Ladybug Ladybug Fly Away Home as a Delta Green intro for 12 players. The idea was to split them into cells afterward and keep running linked games in the same world. Sadly, this mad experiment ended a few weeks later when the pandemic hit. Possibly for the best? 🤷🏻😅

Think I’ll curl up with this one tonight for a casual #ttrpg read.

I’ve got a full dance card for @kamcon.bsky.social in just 11 days: Friday I’m a Taskmaster contestant (trying not to embarrass myself), then straight into Delta Green. Running WHPA Saturday morning, then XCrawl Live. Sunday I’m hosting a horror panel before diving into the Black Company playtest.🤘🏻😊

I think today’s WHPA test run for KamCon went exceptionally well. Can’t spoil too much, but it did feature a taxi hitting a pallet jump ramp, then tearing into parking lot donuts with a boom mic hanging out the passenger window to knock down fast food mascots. 🤘🏻😅

Many here lost a good friend recently when @budsrpgreview.bsky.social passed away A thread: I was mid campaign with Bud running delta green’s god’s teeth by @hebanongames.bsky.social he was running for a group including @orcusdorkus.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social and @sskorkowsky.bsky.social

@gobagpod.com bluesky is now setup.

Post a meme made by you

Finally watched the Superman movie, and what can I say that hasn’t been said already. It was a fun and exciting feel good supers movie. Mr. Terrific=chefs kiss. Krypto was not distracting, but a solid part of the movie. Even the exposition didn’t bug me because it felt like watching a comic book.🤘🏻😊

There had been an extended break, but in a few minutes it’s time for some more GURPS Mythic Rome. 🤘🏻😅
