When designing a new game, do you have a ruleset in mind (at least to base it on), or do you come up with your rule system after you do some of the worldbuilding writing? Asking for a friend.

Anyone else having issues with their Shopify sites this morning? #shopify #ecommerce #smallbusiness

Wait... WTF??? If you have multiple tabs open in your browser and you hit Ctrl+ a number, it will switch to that number tab in the line! How did I NEVER KNOW THIS!?!?

D&D 4E got two major things right for me: 1. Minions - throwing normal monsters into the fray with only 1 HP each added so much damage and risk, but generally didn't prolong combat in any meaningful way. 2. Daily, Encounter, and At-will abilities - I really liked this aspect of combat.

Today's mood - I am a neo-maxi zoom dweebie. I won't be taking any questions.

LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!

themidnighttavern.com/collections/... Two words hooked me on this game: Chainsaw Ships. Don't get me wrong, there's a WHOLE lot more to love about the system and the worldbuilding and the characters, but chainsaw ships was the first thing that caught my eye.

My editor is keeping a very close eye on me today to make sure I get all my deliverables accomplished.

I'm trying to train myself to do more interesting product photography and posting. Any thoughts?

Adding 3D printed minis - just linked into All Systems Go Games' inventory of AMAZING minis! But I have to tag them all w attributes (species, class, etc). Started with the females; 72 done and live, 141 more to go. Then the males! themidnighttavern.com/collections/...

Did a little homemade harvest fest this weekend. Last of the garden tomatoes went into tomato soup. Also fresh croutons, and some chicken and bacon soup, and an Italian sammy with mortadella, pepperoni. salami, and prosciutto. It was so cozy and delicious!

What's your game plan(s) for this week? For my monday group, depending on what decision they make at the start of the session, they may just run into Strahd for the first time (dun dun dunnn!). Still working out what voice I want to use for him. For my Thursday group... well, they better run!

Happy Halloween all! What are you dressed up as? Me, I'm dressed up as an adult who has it together, is responsible, has free time and discretionary spending. It's a stretch, but I think I pulled it off pretty well!

My players had 3 days in Waterdeep to waste between turning in one job and the next one starting up. So now they've placed bets on themselves and are heading down to level 3 of Undermountain in the Yawning Portal to make some money. The Yawning Portal runs a betting ring on adventurer's survival

If you’re going to run a crowdfunding campaign for a game here’s a few ideas from a retailer perspective if you plan to offer retail level pledges: 🧵

What is the best TTRPG Zine you've ever read?

Gunslinger Knights - the newest campaign song from Monte Cook Games for the Cypher System. Think Stephen King’s The Dark Tower meets old gods. Have you tried The Cypher System? If so, what do you think of it? If not, why not?

As a DM, I'm not afraid to admit that I don't always remember which voice each NPC had. I really should keep notes on things like that, but I'm generally in the moment, and when the moment passes, I can't be bothered to write it down when I know i should. #ttrpg #game #roleplay #dungeonmaster

Other than Lost Mine of Phandelver which D&D module would you recommend to run for a group of new players?

I’m such an elite hacker. I managed to break my own website three days ago and didn’t even notice until today. Nobody could actually look at products. Don’t make me use this power for evil.

I don’t need to play Pokemon Go. I want to play Pokémon Stay, a game where I can do all my associated Pokémon-ing from the comfort of my own home, preferably with a blanket and a hot beverage while laying on my couch. Can someone get on that for me?

Got to go to #nycc on Sunday - first time ever! While there was a lot to see there, I have to admit... the experience was a bit underwhelming. Got there before it opened, but an hour in and you could barely move. Still, saw some cool vendors, and this guy! So I got that going for me.

There is a giant purple worm claiming a local farm as its territory in the last month. Why is it there and what does it want?

After extensive research and many variations of testing I have finally concluded that mornings do indeed suck. It has something to do with how they appear out of nowhere way too early in the day and keep interfering with my ability to sleep. I will submit this data next for peer review.

Creature stat blocks are like finished Lego sets. They look nice and can be used as is, but you can also completely take them apart. Rearrange the parts and pieces leave them out. Add some from a different set and rebuild something absolutely new.

Time for another RPG Quicklook here- this time taking a look at Weird Heroes of Public Access! Want a zaney callback to the days when everyday people had their own TV shows? The social media BEFORE social media? Throw in a little darkness under the surface and you have this fun TTRPG! #rpg #ttrpg
