@morkborg.com and its cousins make perfect one-shot #TTRPG games, right? Here's how I hack them to improve the experience burnafterrunningrpg.com/2026/04/17/h...

In retrospect, I think that the montage in this adventure worked particularly well because it took place along a magical pathway. We were free to invent challenges and solutions that were dreamlike, and we knew in advance that they had no bearing on the everyday world to which we then returned.

Check it out!

Resharing for the Monday crowd! Check out our 13th Age game with special guest Jonathan Tweet!

Great fun this afternoon running @omnihedron.co.uk through a one-shot of The Paragon Blade, @pelgranepress.bsky.social @mytholder.bsky.social 's Gumshoe One-2-One game of mythic fantasy. Conn the Unslain is still Unslain!

Absolutely true! These games will make you a better GM!

Out now, a very special Unconventional GMs one-shot #TTRPG #ActualPlay - come explore the Stinking Forest in @chaosium.bsky.social #13thAge #Glorantha with @jonathantweet.bsky.social , recorded LIVE at @the-kraken.bsky.social ! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViwI...

Seeing some noise that @chaosium.bsky.social Runequest is hard to get into, and I'm once again reminding you that they still publish a much easier entry point to Glorantha, #13thAge Glorantha. And it's got rules for Heroquesting.

As a teaser, here's the last time we did something like this - watch @robindlaws.bsky.social play his own @atlasgames.bsky.social Feng Shui 2 in an all-action #TTRPG #ActualPlay youtu.be/_Fmme-8ahxo?...

Out now to Patrons - how I hack #MorkBorg and its related games to more suit my #OSR-adjacent tastes. Join my patreon for more like this! www.patreon.com/posts/hackin...

Assuming the editing kobolds stay out of trouble, we've got a very special release for Unconventional GMs coming out tomorrow...

I knew Cork Bord would be good - @paulbaldowski.bsky.social knows his stuff - but I wasn't expecting it to be quite as good as it is. Manages to make grimy nordic investigations gamified in a cool way.

Great fun to run some 2nd ed #13thAge for @3skulls.bsky.social and co, at @the-kraken.bsky.social gaming retreat

Excellent time at @the-kraken.bsky.social recording a 13G game for Unconventional GMs with co-creator @jonathantweet.bsky.social and co-host @burnafterrunning.bsky.social - lots of Hot Troll Action, interfering baboons, Paso Doble, fearsome tusk riders and dark rituals. #YourGloranthaMayVary

Great fun to run for these legends!

Great to play in this game - can't wait to see Dragon's Eye in print!

Just casually chilling and reading @chaosium.bsky.social 's #Pendragon Random Wife Table

Great Seminar about Bare Metal Gaming with @jonathantweet.bsky.social and @burnafterrunning.bsky.social and @evilgaz.bsky.social from Unconventional GMs. Episode coming up …

I know "Burn After Running" is my usual approach, but yesterday I ran two consecutive con games of the same game and scenario - and, you know, it's a pretty chill way to relax into the first day of a convention.

PBTA isn't just one thing anymore - as my Revelation Con report demonstrates burnafterrunningrpg.com/2026/04/02/y...

First #TTRPG of Spring Kraken done - great game of @jesseross.com 's R'lyehwatch!

This was so much fun to record (always great to chat to @jasoncordova.bsky.social)... don't assume this is just Public Access chat, we cover loads of GM advice, writing mysteries, and the magic trick of reincorporation - check it out! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

Resharing for the Sunday crowd - you can even experience one of the long-lost Odyssey Tapes in this one!

On KS now, @gauntletrpg.bsky.social @jasoncordova.bsky.social 's Public Access #TTRPG gives a creepy, disturbing horror experience - check out our one-shot #ActualPlay of it! youtu.be/PfJOzFqYlAQ?...

BOMBADIL ALERT

Things I miss from #TTRPG culture: G+, Dungeon magazine, those plastic prepainted D&D miniatures, FLGS second hand collections nearby

If you'd have told me in January 2020 when I started running The One Ring Tales from the Wilderland campaign for an online group I'd still be playing, and running, One Ring and loving it now, I'd have thought you a tricksy hobbit

Give it a 5 star rating and shout "Take That You Fiend"

Just in time for the final kickstarter push, we recorded a one-shot of this today on Unconventional GMs - we release next week to see this in action.

This is brilliant, and really interesting

Treated myself for my birthday to the redux TMNT #TTRPG. And wow, it's a perfect combination of genius ideas and unplayable system. What would you play it with?

this TTRPG ruleset is terrible, it assumes I have basic reading comprehension and can figure out its meaning from context instead of painstakingly detailing every possible edge case to prevent a player, such as me, from really annoying the GM

How do you still bring out supplements for a licenced #TTRPG with a long 1st edition line to support 2nd ed and still be relevant? Check out my reviews of @modiphius.bsky.social Star Trek Adventures supplements on Species and Exploring! burnafterrunningrpg.com/2026/03/15/t...

Check out our latest #ActualPlay - we tackle the shifting loyalties of @handiworkgames.bsky.social @malcolmcraig.bsky.social 's Hot War 2nd edition. Can I recruit a scientist to the people's army? Tune in to find out! youtu.be/FF9Mrwf6OIU?...

Cracking session of @salvageunion.bsky.social this morning, on @lukegearing.bsky.social 's Rainmaker. Our heroes briefly flirted with capitalism before seeing sense and liberating the copper miners from the corpo's hold

Time for my annual Pi Day reminder that 22/7 is a closer approximation than 3.14, anyway

If you need some goods to interact with, I've got you. I've been working on a 5e replacement. Where I do things like make bards more versatile! My patrons get access to the playtest materials! Check it out, it's awesome! www.patreon.com/posts/6th-da...

It's #SelfPromoSaturday, so it's time for the #ttrpgfamily to show me what you got. Remember: 🔥Repost (not quote RP) this post and another of mine to increase their reach 🔥Post your goods 🔥Interact if you've got the spoons for it 🔥If you post AI stuff here, I will find you and skin you 🙃

Bit of #13thAge #Glorantha idle preppage. This is such an underrated sourcebook for actionable stuff!

Scored for a bargain second hand - on a cursory inspection, it looks like this game slaps

You should pick this up - one of my #TTRPG highlights of 2026!

Out now for Patrons - I look at two of @modiphius.bsky.social 's supplements for Star Trek Adventures 2nd edition - join patreon for early access now, or wait for it to land on the blog in a week! www.patreon.com/posts/to-bol...

Question for the TTRPG designers out there: you've experienced your game as a GM/ref, how many of you have experienced your game as a player?

Sadly I cannot double-back this project. But this should persuade any fence-sitters

I love the bit of game prep where you've sort of almost got it, and excited to see how it'll actually play at the table - in this case, a run of @leylinepress.bsky.social Salvage Union @lukegearing.bsky.social Rainmaker tomorrow!

"Perception" is always rubbish. Chargen is massively overrated. Bling is the least important part of convention games

I dunno, if you wanted to see a game of Candela Obscura that isn't heavily productionised, there's one right here: youtu.be/cMIqqB5FI50?...

Resharing for the weekday crowd - brand new #13thAge 2nd ed #ActualPlay !

Do you like swamps? Do you like princesses? Check out our latest #ActualPlay #TTRPG of @pelgranepress.bsky.social @jonathantweet.bsky.social @robheinsoo.bsky.social 13th Age 2nd Edition, one of my most favourite games given the 2 hour one-shot treatment - SWAMP PRINCESS. youtu.be/0CPGgECxMXo?...

Fantastic score from Quinto books today - I've never seen 2nd hand Armed Services Editions before, they are great little relics.
