So, Bluesky, is anyone up for Alice is Missing on Sat eve? I have a copy of the online version, and can facilitate. It will take four players plus me. For those not familiar, it is a 90 minute session played entirely by text message (in this case on the specific online platform, not your phone).

Which 3 #ttrpgs were your intro, the one that made you fall in love and the one that opened your eyes to possibility. Intro: WEG Star Wars My love for the hobby: WFRP 1st ed Opened my eyes: Apocalypse World

‘I don’t care what anyone says, I like that movie’

Slightly diminish a band: Grey Floyd Grey Sabbath The Sidestreet Boys Def Housecat Adults on the Block The PCSOs (That last one might only make sense for Brits)

Just finished playing through Of Leaves and Stewed Hobbit by @mytholder.bsky.social in AiME. Blast from the past now but brilliant scenario that mirrors the tone of the three troll scene in the Hobbit perfectly. Great work, Gar.

What GIF pops up when you type your name?

Bleat.

So, late night insomnia RPG thoughts. (thread) Scenarios (as products). There is plenty of talk about good and bad scenarios. But I am starting to think that there is in fact no such thing as a bad scenarios. After all, I bet we have all played "bad" scenarios and had great fun, right? 1/x

Paul does great games, and this mix of Nordic Noir and Moro Borg is a really interesting concept - please consider supporting him.

My copies of Neil Gow’s Liminal zines arrived today. They look great, and I’m looking forward to reading through them. Also, I don’t know about other people, but I’m really glad we are seeing a move back to small zines being a thing. @omnihedron.co.uk

For #selfpromosaturday, here is a thing I did years ago (with Kev B from the now defunct Pompey Crew Design amazing playtest feedback). Cheat Your Own Adventure cheatyourownadventure.co.uk A silly homage to the Choose Your Own Adventure gamebooks of old. Its free and the website is crap.

@emmanewman.bsky.social - winning narrow boat inspired by The Vengeance?

I mean, if its good enough for the guy who did the Leverage TVshow, right? But seriously, Dusk City Outlaws is a great game - and adding some cyberpunk themes to it sounds right up my alley-between-two-corp-facilites.

Only about $10k to go, but only 3 hours in which to do it. Check it out and chip in if you can! Check out The Gamers: Attack of the Pwns on @BackerKit! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/z...

I’ve just backed Graham’s latest game. Cthulhu Dark was amazing and I’m sure this will be too. Graham is a talented creative and a wonderful person. We should all support his work.

I am in this, and had the pleasure of playing it with some amazing players (of which I am by far the least entertaining). You should watch it.

Today I’m wearing a purple T-shirt, Yvonne sees that and says “if you’re wearing purple, then I’m wearing green”. Obscure Babylon 5 references underpin our marriage.

Starting a new Urban Shadows 2E campaign next week, and I created this splash page image for the game's Miro board. I'm rather happy with it, even if I say so myself.

Just had an absolutely fantastic one shot session of Slugblaster. There was even a titular kick flip over a Quantum Centipede, and enough maths references to make @burnafterrunning.bsky.social happy inside. I’m definitely sold on it (figuratively and literally). Awesome work @wilkiescandylab.com!

So, this week we covert editions in our game after 53 sessions - but in this case *backwards* from Shadowun Sixth World to SR 3rd edition. Mainly as 6e has some fundamental elements that don’t feel like SR for us - whereas 3e does. Has anyone got any tips for backwards edition switching?

As is my wont on New Years Day the last few years I look back over the year in gaming. I've been tracking all my RPG sessions since the start of 2022 and this has been a good year for gaming (which has been a welcome release from a personally and professionally challenging year otherwise). (THREAD)
