Downtime, stress, XP, and… astrology? This week I’m musing on Flying Circus, Mythic Bastionland, and what happens if your stats are Sun/Moon/Mars instead of STR/DEX/INT. Would you roll your Sun sign for initiative? 🌙🔥 Good Monday, Gamers! #TTRPG

This morning I was reminded of watching CBPL (Chinese Professional Baseball League) - the Taiwanese pro baseball league games during the pandemic at 5 AM on my phone. Because it was a balm to see live baseball anywhere. It was so exciting to see baseball in another culture! Go Rakuten Monkeys!

Re-sharing for the evening crowd! :)

Another day, another "I nope out quick when I hear so much talk about X cards, lines and Vails, etc. no thanks." comment on one of my actual play videos, to which I can only say: Good.

There have been a lot of good fantasy games in PbtA but Stonetop is the first great one. We spent the last half of 2023 playing the heck out of this astonishing game. Give our deep dive a read and let me know what you think.

Today, I look at The Shadow of Yesterday, whose mechanics influenced games like Lady Blackbird by @johnharper.bsky.social and Brindlewood Bay by Jason Cordova. And, for backers, I talk about all the games from this week and how their mechanics drive the story. www.patreon.com/graham

Taking a break from working on next month's (very) deep dive to talk about the games that broke my trad brain over and over again. It's an older code but it checks out.

Open Hearth TTRPGs of the Year Every year we've done a special podcast where community members pick their favorite games: not necessarily new releases, but instead the ttrpgs they played, read, or watched during the year which stuck with them. playingatthehearth.openhearthgaming.com/episodes/ope...

Just wanted to big-up @openhearthrpg.bsky.social , not just because it's a great TTRPG community with wonderful play culture but because of the generosity of the player body. I've just finished an extended run of my PbtA game in development and the insights my players offered have been priceless!

Saw a post in which @juddthelibrarian.bsky.social & @orklord.bsky.social fondly referred back to a game and its map. It reminded me that one of my 2022 'Games of the Year'; a longish (never long enough!) series of Free from the Yoke which enabled me to indulge my own love of maps for games.

This was an incredible series with two amazing folks. Thanks for the reminder, Judd!

Orctober is a thing? Both orcs can be found in my TTRPG Collection: shopofjudd.threadless.com/collections/...
