I am curious. Has anyone done the math on Blades in the Dark on how many segments make up a good score? Is there a ratio between score and threat clocks or a total number? Has anyone worked that math?

@j-k.games is back with another supplement for Mutants in the Now. As someone who played TMNT until the end of the 1980s, I believe this game is the true spiritual successor. The rules are revamped and clean, the game is fun to play, and the combat is fantastic www.kickstarter.com/projects/arb...

Proud to be the 72nd backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Voidheart Symphony - What Are You Fighting For?! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

Finally got a chance to listen to The Gauntlet 2nd Edition podcast. I forgot how much I love the sound of @jasoncordova.bsky.social voice. Also enjoying the show’s concept. www.patreon.com/posts/121732...

Gene Hackman has been in so many good movies, but the one that always comes to mind for me is The Quick and the Dead. I love this movie, and he was a great villain.

Hey Anto! :) Why We Fight is a 1-5 player, GMless, narrative, solarpunk TTRPG about collective resistance, overthrowing oppressive forces, and building a future where no one has to "earn" the right to live. Each player controls a crew of 4 characters, that you build as you play!

Let me take this format for a spin

Has anyone used Hearts of Wulin to run a Cobra Kai game? Because I think it may be possible, but I also can't be the first person to think of this.

I have two Cortex Prime conversions I want to make from 90s RPGs: Underground and The Whispering Vault. I think both would be a lot of fun in Cortex Prime.

Its a shame that Cortex Prime does not have a license option, because I have some really fun stuff that I have made, that I would love to share with the world. C

Neon City Blues is a cool KS project that just launched. It's a street level cyberpunk game, Carved from Brindlewood. I've always thought a cyberpunk game that uses the CfB mystery system is a great idea, and so I'm excited to see this in the world! www.kickstarter.com/projects/508...

This is genius. I am a terrible artist but handy with a vector drawing program. This I can do.

@dnaphil.bsky.social examines techniques for how to help you follow your own advice at the table and remember your best practices so you can continue to hone your GM skills. #TTRPGs #RPGs

Be discerning where you place your happiness. Sports teams, social media, an audience, and careless people can all do great damage, intentionally or not. Instead place your happiness in the hands of people who care about your well being and will nurture and protect it.

From my father... Your job/career is the thing you do in order to pay for the things you really want in life.

Learn the difference between charismatic and leadership. They are not the same. A charismatic person will not lead you out of trouble or through tough times.

Go to therapy. Even if you think nothing is wrong. The sooner you learn to process your feelings and understand who you are the better you will be as a partner, friend, parent, etc.

Cortex Prime is to RPGs as Excel is to business.

Somehow Eclipse Phase 2nd edition flew under my radar. I read the web page covering all the changes and was excited. I like the mechanical changes and always dug the setting. I went and picked up a copy, and I can't wait to read it.

When you are cutting down trees in #Minecraft do you immediately plant a sapling in its place, or did you not see the Lorax as a child?

My first two games were Basic D&D and the original Top Secret. I have fond memories of playing them as they got me into the hobby. I don’t play either now but I would try Basic D&D again. I like Top Secret SI over the original.

A mom just came in SO EXCITED to find a map store bc her son would LOVE it. She tries to be coy. "My son is... Really into maps. Real special kid." I'm like, ma'am, this is a map store. Half my customers are on the spectrum. I have a trains and transit section. You're among friends.

36 years ago this group played TMNT the rpg. Tonight we had a reunion and I ran @arbco.bsky.social Mutants in the Now, with characters based on our original campaign.

A necessary tool for the Marvel Multiverse RPG. This way I can play Cyclops to its full effect. #marvel616

Sure, the Dwarves delved too greedily & too deep but at least Durin reported record-breaking levels of Mithril yield that fiscal quarter.

As 2023 winds down it will go down as one of my best years of gaming. I ran four campaigns this year. Two of them were longer than a year and had fulfilling endings. Two are still going and I started a new campaign this past Fall.

Friday's article from @dnaphil.bsky.social, discussing how to figure out if a campaign is worth continuing or not.

What is the simplest VTT out there? I mean hardly any features. Import an image (sometimes), some tokens, shapes. I have toyed with using a VTT for some of my games but they are way too much in features and prep. Who has the VTT equivalent of a whiteboard and marker?

I've been reminded to make some noise. :) METATOPIA is our Game Design Festival for people who are passionate about the design, publishing, selling, or playing games of all types. METATOPIA 2023 is Nov 2 - 5 in Morristown, NJ. dexposure.com/m2023.html

Looking for a TTRPG Idea. I need a reliable backup game. Something my group can use when someone can't make it. Something with minimal-to-no prep or have short published adventures. Somewhat simple ruleset. Pick up and play. Any ideas?

This week @senda.bsky.social and I reviewing our manuscript for the full version of Turning Point, our collaborative, dramatic, decision-making engine. We were looking to put this game to KS in 2020 but some stuff happened and we shelved it. Then some life happened, so we kept it on the shelf.

My big project is in the middle of the Valley of Despair, and it's been a rough week. Then I remembered some words of Wisdom from Ted Lasso. So I sent them to my team.
