youtu.be/yNxlMGxKJL0 Muted Swallow Episode 7 - Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy Gameplay Yvette should have made a Nasal Sensitivity Composure roll because she kept talking instead of holding her breath in the proximity of onions, but we'll make up for it by rolling it retroactively next session

or they go 'but what is a complete game really could you ever really make a complete game with all the things players could do covered' Yes yes you could you just need to cover everything in your premise for fuck's sake

more ttrpgs need to be complete games and not just a series of loose ideas for a GM to try and make their own bespoke game out of

Muted Swallow Episode 6 - Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy Gameplay youtu.be/yj17kwRsDW8 We really should've called for at few more Interpersonal Skill rolls here. #ttrpg #actualplay #indiettrpg #ttrpgpodcast #indiegame #rpg #indierpgs The music was composed by imsobadatnicknames2.tumblr.com

I think a lot of people in the indie TTRPG spaces who think of their TTRPGs as art kinda have a David Cage approach to the idea that TTRPGs are art, in that they don't actually think ordinary mainstream TTRPGs like D&D, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, etc. are art.

I have been accused before of only going to bat in the defense of adventure modules because I want people to buy ANIM's adventure modules, but honestly really it's the other way around.

May I Come In + Contact - Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy OST youtu.be/RjHTJcdq0V8 #ttrpg #rpgs #indie A combination of May I Come In and Contact, putting them together for a song that is more of a listen-to-it song than a loop-during-session song. Composition by imsobadatnicknames2.tumblr.com

Extremely sorry but Episode 6 of Muted Swallow will be uploaded late due to issues.

FYI, folks: @anim-ttrpgs.bsky.social and the A.N.I.M. Book Club are organising a series of sessions of "Eat God" draft 0.7.2 throughout May. Sign-ups are open through April 27th; actual play is expected to begin around May 8th. You can sign up here: discord.gg/ubAUjNeZ (but read the rules first!)

The Hook - Eureka OST Listen while the GM reads through the hook in the first session of the Eureka adventure you are about to play, or while the investigators are discussing their plans and findings in a casual meal scene. Composition by @imsobadatnicknames2.tumblr.com youtu.be/Rh-A0T4SJ_w #rpgs

In Death Bed, the PCs are dead. Un-dead. When it was initially conceived, it was a lot more specifically Dark Souls inspired which has changed over development, but Dark Souls DNA has stuck around, like that the PCs “respawn” at bonfires when they die. anim-ttrpg.itch.io/death-bed-an... #ttrpg

Muted Swallow Episode 5 is uploading right now

Accidentally ended up writing a TTRPG essay i would roughly title "Marketing, So-called 'Collaborative Storytelling,' and How Hasbro Sells You Your GM's/Your Own Labor" It's way too much to push through bluesky's character limit, so here is a tumblr link. #dnd #rpgs www.tumblr.com/anim-ttrpgs/...

i just busted my ass on a TTRPG essay I would roughly title "Marketing, So-called 'Collaborative Storytelling,' and How Hasbro Sells You Your GM's/Your Own Labor" but it's way too big to bother pushing it through bluesky's assinine character limit.

patreon update shortly

discord.gg/TRg93uxb Link to the discord server we host where everybody votes on a different TTRPG to play after we finish playing the last one and we discuss it like a book club but for TTRPGs. It's also a great place just to discuss RPGs and find groups to play with. #ttrpgs #indiettrpgs #tabletop

Promoting your game based on how few rules it has is the TTRPG equivalent to the booktok fade of promoting books based on tropes instead of story, and both pander to anti-intellectualism. Fight me.

Some people chafe against the fact Eureka often contrasts itself with other RPGs within the rules text, but the truth is any RPG is going to be "in conversation" with other RPGs whether you want it to be or not. It's better to give your RPG a voice in that conversation than to let it be talked over.

“A Horror New to This World,” a Short Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy April Fools Adventure Module, is a Little Bit Late but Still Check It Out #ttrpgs #indiettrpgs #tabletop #eureka #horror #aprilfools #creepy #rpg #roleplaying anim-ttrpg.itch.io/a-horror-new...

When D&D5e does something badly, it wrecks and warps that entire concept's reputation/perception among a not-insignificant percentage of TTRPG players. You can see this happen with concepts like tactical combat, combat in general, adventure modules, carrying capacity rules, dungeons, etc.. #ttrpgs

Paranormal PCs in Eureka have more options for avenues of investigation than their mundane counterparts, but either at the expense of some "normal" avenues being closed off to them, or at the expense of dealing with the whole eating-people thing. #rpgs #indiettrpg anim-ttrpg.itch.io/eureka-urban...
