DREADFEST V IS HERE

In tonight's Legend of the Five Rings game, things got messy when three Emerald Magistrates submitted three *different* copies of the same document into evidence.

Just finished session zero of a Historica Arcanum: City of Crescent campaign. This is D&D 5e, adapted to mid-1800s Turkey. We finished character creation and did a couple opening scenes, and I'm delighted.

Jordan will be there at the booth across from Queermunity and in front of TC Skate, just north of 31st.

Nearly a year and a half of running Descent into Avernus using Daggerheart, and we're wrapping things up. Where did things land?

Year 5: we're putting together a calendar of events from a bunch of different game masters, in venues all over the Twin Cities. If you're interested in getting involved, jump into the Discord: discord.gg/ePkQme9e

Alright, the menu is up for games for me to run the next several months. Get your $0.02 in! jjbsp1co1t5.typeform.com/to/dLfer7eP

First stab at Draw Steel using the Codex beta.

Shout out to Round Table in Lethbridge; food, drinks, board games, excellent atmosphere, and I was able to play Mage Knight finally.

Some homebrew trade rules for Ars Magica

It's fine.

A gift upon arriving in Canada. Extremely appropriate.

Thank you, @greenroninpub.bsky.social for bringing me to GenCon to run The Expanse and The Fifth Season. One of my players in today's Fifth Season game said it was the best event of the con for them. Until next time.

This is for an actual play where the players will be puppets. We are looking for puppeteers forms.gle/6sM6b68MZN5p...

Next up: running learn to plays for Fallen London.

I'll be alternating between GMing The Expanse and The Fifth Season for Green Ronin and Fallen London for Magpie. Come day hi!

The article about us, Badwolf & DD&D is live!

An underappreciated side effect of running a different game nearly every night is that you cannot over prepare. There just isn't enough time.

Meet up at GenCon! Jordan will be GMing for Green Ronin and Magpie Thurs-Sun, drop by and say hi or send a DM. linktr.ee/sortilege

On the menu tonight: The Expanse!

Our Theros campaign celebrated the Xenoysia festival, and initiated a coup against the priests of Mogis in the minotaur city of Skophos. Our triton oracle received a personal visit from Erebos, god of the underworld, himself. He was not pleased.

Prepared for a night of horror at Volstead's.

One seat left in a one-shot adventure set in a rusted post-apocalyptic world of rogue automatons and ancient technology. Race against time in this 3-hour beginner-friendly game of Daggerheart: 2PM, July 20th, at Badwolf Adventure Studios badwolfadventurestudios.com/event/dagger...

Feeling the love from the Green Ronin community as we navigate the Diamond bankruptcy. At the time of this posting, we are at 82% percent of our goal. If you aren't in a position to support the legal fund, sharing this with your network is a huge help: gofund.me/970ea49a

Due to a temporary room limitation as well as the birth of two babies, tonight's game of Arkham Horror TTRPG at Volstead's Emporium is cancelled.

We finished out CONvergence with Flabbergasted!, in which our player characters threw an all-animals party to spite the dog show across the road. It somehow ended successfully, despite the hostess nearly being thrown out of her own home for being drunk and disorderly.

Next up: Mouse Guard

Next up: Mouse Guard

Got in a game of Arkham Horror the RPG at CONvergence with Grand Mastress Renee and Business Barbarian Marcus from Dragons, Dungeons & Drinks

It's day 1 of CONvergence and that means the anime-inspired RPG Break!! It's a little confusing but because it's a kid-friendly game, sign-up is in the Kids binder instead of the Thursday RPG binder.

I'll be running Arc, Break!!, Flabbergasted! and Mouse Guard for CONvergence with Badwolf this weekend. Use BADWOLF for $10 off registration. www.convergence-con.org/get-involved...

Designed by one of the GMs at Imagination & Liberation earlier this month! Check it out!

Unfortunately, four Free RPG Day events at Tower Games (The One Ring, Werewolf, Cy_Borg and Daggerheart) will be canceled. The other games will still be happening as planned.

We are cancelling this afternoon's Vampire: the Masquerade one-shot at the Fox Den today to allow folks to show up at the No Kings protest in St. Paul at the capitol.

My most successful campaigns almost always start as: 1. Basic pitch and a vibe (allows for the right players to opt-in) 2. Parbaked character creation (figure out where the players' fun is). 3. Responsive/collaborative worldbuilding. 4. Finish character creation/inciting incident. 5. Begin prep

I haven't been able to stop thinking about the character of Inge from the game Rosenstrasse. A severe Aryan German woman married to a procurement officer in the army, she took her roles as a mother, wife and German with extreme seriousness.

Imagination & Liberation TTRPG Festival was a success, thank you!

Ran a deadly (17 point) encounter for my Daggerheart group last night. It was indeed. Two death moves and the seraph flew the two bodies to safety with one HP remaining. Replacing the fear die with a d20 and hope die with a d8 was very impactful.

Reminder for everyone: we have several free one-shots happening on Saturday for the Imagination & Liberation festival at Sencha Tea Bar in uptown Minneapolis. No prior experience with a given system is assumed or expected, and each GM will teach you what you need to know to enjoy the one-shot!

One side benefit of my players choosing the Age of Umbra campaign frame for Daggerheart is I get to poach monsters from all my Mörk Borg supplements.
