GM Tip: As someone who lives in a place with lots of large fauna, it's not the predators you need to worry the most about. Your average bear or cougar or wolf or rattlesnake DNGAF about you unless you mess with them or they're starving. Moose and elk though? They will start shit for... 1/2 #TTRPG

Canada beat New Zealand in the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-finals! The Black Ferns put up a hell of a fight, and everyone was giving 110% till the last second.

This is an absolute MUST. Static villains and forces of opposition can work, but reactive ones draw engagement and increase immersion for players. They help the world seem "alive" and gives their actions the feel of mattering for more than just moving the plot forward. #TTRPG

The key to running a good #TTRPG narrative campaign, in my experience, is to plot it out like a choose your own adventure. have key points where decisions affect the direction, and be prepared with multiple endings. And above all, don't get locked into a single path. Why? It's frustrating for...1/2

Calendar and bureaucracy catch me every goddamn time.

Never forget, Data was about that life. #TNG www.youtube.com/shorts/GSklv...

Running a poll to try and get data on what devices and formats people read TTRPGs in, so designers can make more informed choices. I intend to share the data once I've gotten enough responses, please spread this so we can cover more ground! forms.gle/V7WtvMpAUkJa...

You know what I'm looking forward to? The 20th Anniversary Remaster Edition of GTA V. I don't even know if it's going to be a thing, but can you imagine? The graphical upgrades. The world expansion to include North Yankton and Cayo Perico? Malls and enterable buildings?1? DAMN!

In early access for my supporters! It's my review of BATTLECRY! for #Pathfinder! There's a lot going on in the book, and it goes live to the public next Thursday! #TTRPG www.patreon.com/posts/pathfi...

I forgot how much I enjoyed Burn Notice, and the #TTRPG inspiration it provided. It was full of fun "tradecraft" stuff that ported VERY well to the tabletop. CW: Violence www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4f-...

Another good reason to learn other #TTRPG systems is to avoid reinventing the wheel. For example, I've been unknowingly re-creating the Year Zero Engine by Free League. Found out a few days ago when I downloaded their SRD. After the frustration passed, I'm really enjoying the system.

Reading the new Battlecry! book for #Pathfinder and I gotta say, @paizo.com is making some plot moves that are going to make the Inner Sea region very interesting for tables that pay attention to the unfolding story of Golarion. Also it's loaded with martial class stuff!

K-Pop Demon Hunters is now the soundtrack of the house. Normally I get a break during school hours, but the bairn is home sick so... Yeah. That's where things are at right now. 😆

Some people, no names no pack drill, have passed up that there has been a better apology from Shane Hensley in the continuing fallout from his initial comments on CK. Here's the thing though. He's still dancing around the topics. Still playing the "I don't agree with everything" card without...1/2

Update on the PEG Inc #SWADE situation. The TL;DR: "Sorry you're upset, someone explained to me why you're upset, I will now take five from social media." So, yeah. Non-apology apology. www.reddit.com/r/rpg/s/eUgu...

Caltrop Core is ridiculously fun!

Been seeing people talk about cartoons made for mature audiences they saw too young. I have two. Fire & Ice: a Bakshi directed, Frazetta fueled sword and sandal epic. Cat City: a Hungarian made spy spoof movie about mice and cats. Sounds innocent, right? Absolutely not.

Went to his page and confirmed. #SavageWorlds is off the menu for me now. It sucks; #SWADE was fun and I loved messing around with it.

I get why, in the past, air force pilots were the preferred baseline for astronauts. But seeing them announce a pilot as the commander of the Mars simulation mission? Why? They don't do "spend a year in miserable isolation with a few other people". If they're going to stick to military...1/2

Back to School Sales for tech and stationary are functionally a fire sale for writers. It's amazing how far your budget can stretch when the prices dip to "back to school" levels!

Picked up a pad of project planning sheets from Staples, and I am loving it. I'm using it right now to plan out a project I've been sitting on for ages.

Off the top of my head? - Automobile safety has generally improved. - We finally got a Cyberpunk RPG inspired video game, and an anime, and both are amazing. - Char Sui is more available than ever in North America.

Running a Crew “I know you!” “I know.” “We ran together, came up together!” “I know.” “Why you doing this? We’re a crew!” “We were a crew. This isn’t personal. It’s just the game.” There’s no shortage of games where the players take on the roles of underworld figures, one way or another. Cyberpunk…

Damn... Going back through that Free League #TTRPG bundle I picked up a ways back is the gift that keeps on giving. It included: - Mutant Year Zero - Dragonbane - Coriolis - Twilight: 2000 - Tales from the Loop - Symbaroum - Forbidden Lands And not just core books, supplements too!

Presenting: Harlem by Night! This 3-part ALL-Black Vampire the Masquerade mini series premieres as part of #BIPOCVampDay weekend on Sunday, September 21st at 7:30 pm EST! 🩸🧛🏾 Featuring: @jeremycobb1.bsky.social (Storyteller) @vynvox.com @charmfoolery.bsky.social @thecandacemarie.bsky.social

Everyone better buckle up... There's a whole lot of #Pathfinder, #Shadowrun, and #CyberpunkRED reviews and lore stuff coming...

A bonus to this is that all the old USB A chargers you have sitting in the junk drawer because they don't have the juice to charge modern phones or tablets? A lot are perfect for a PSP, SP, DS, or 3DS with these cables.

I feel like this was written by someone who had cable or satellite as a kid, because a lot of these were VHS/DVD rental gems. share.google/MB5HqrFdN57i...

Age verification? The TV was two person lift, 50% wood and cabinetry, and I was the remote.

If you have an old PSP, DS, GBA SP, or other handheld and your charger isn't working anymore or you lost the original cable, I can strongly recommend the FUNTURBO cables. They're USB A on one end, and handheld console on the other. And they work with regular chargers.

Another comic book thought: Anyone with the combination of the following should be immediately suspected of being some kind of hero/villain: - great physical conditioning - part time job - constant injuries from "sports" or "clumsiness" - a refusal to talk about their past - doesn't appear to age

My pet theory for this #CybeprunkRED, #Cyberpunk2077, and #CybeprunkEdgerunners lore mystery is that both sides claimed victory. How? Blackhand was trying to save his buddy Shaitan's biopod, and succeeded. Victory. Adam Smasher forced Blackhand to retreat from the fight. Victory.

Comics Thought: In DC, there are humans and metahumans. I think there's a third group between them, essentially human+. Why? Because it makes characters like Batman and the Bat Family, and so many other "just human" characters make sense. How do they recover so fast? How do they maintain...1/2

Damn. Just had a realization that might explain why Adam Smasher was so "easy" for V to take down in #Cyberpunk2077 compared to his previous appearances in the #TTRPG and #CyberpunkEdgerunners. This isn't "Adam Smasher", it's a remotely operated drone. Why do I think that? Two reasons. 1/5

I concur with all of this. The move from the more linear play (Gen 1-7) to "open world" (Gen 8 onwards) wasn't executed well. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Popular #TTRPG systems that aren't 5e that creators use to make games: - Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA) - Forged in the Dark (FitD, a variant of Blades in the Dark) - FATE (Core, Condensed, and Accelerated editions) And many, many more! forum.rpg.net/threads/lets...
