I'm here! I'm talking about games!...
Here's the pre-game and week 1 of the war game in it's entirety Feedback I'm looking for feedback on how to archive my game, message by message. Clearly, this version of this is awful to read. Sorry to those without dark-mode readers. I am interested in what would make this readable to those who are interested in checking it out. I am thinking: replicate the discord message formatting mostly in…
It's time to regale you all with my biggest rpg experiment: My 3-month-long cataphracts game that was the continuation of my 'home game' Phaedra. This post is how the game was conceived, as many of the original game play docs as I can remember, and some notes about how some of it went. A Warning Starting in The Factions and Starting Commanders , I link to cloned versions of the starting documents…
I’m going to keep this brief. I ran 19 sessions of Arden Vul using ad&d 1e for a group of 3 players. I came to both like and dislike 1e. I like how all-encompassing it is and how much friction there is to play. I like segments. I think the classes are boring. I’d never want to write an adventure for it but it was fun to play something built for it. I think I like it more than B/X BUT most…
I ran a session of what I had been calling "D&D-ass D&D" in my gaming server for chill mostly 30-40 year olds. There's a little ttrpgs played there, and plans for grand experiments, but I just wanted to run something light and airy for mostly non-OSR/non-D&D heads. See my rules here , but in summary, The Littlest Brown Book + Supplement א: Chromatic Charms & Spectral Sorceries , focused on the…

I wanna inhabit someone funny voice/acting: not always, sometimes preferred length of game: 2 hours is usually max due to migraines but I am happy to drop out early when I need and catch up on what I missed experience: lots. at this point,…
Foot tapping rapidly, leaving my desk to fold clothes and yawn cause I'm so fucking BORED. Playing DCSS in the browser while everyone else takes 20 mins to decide what door to take. I get called on and I don't remember what is happening. I'm an experienced gm but a troubled player. I get bored as hell by logistical play and when I don't get to tell everyone what to do. I get involved when I can…
I was interviewed by Idraluna Archives about my contribution to the Antartica Adventure Jam . Super pleased with it and I finally got a platform to talk about my absurd stocking method for this new region and my current obsession, the Glitter Barbarians. Enjoyyyyyyyy 💖
How do I run sex in my games? My npcs are often flirtatious, and if a player is feeling it, maybe they meet up during a party, have a little to drink, and fall into bed and fade into black. It's fairly straightforward. I like it to be an option to my players, if they want to persue. My npcs can be creeps, or sometimes a player is forward about someone tagging along in the party, and it makes sense…
Last Sunday was my first traveller session 1 ! I'm using the Facsimile rules with a few back-ports from the '77 version, which I've written up below. My players are my fam (most players from my Phaedra campaign ) plus my dad and a few friends. All of them played in my War Game , so I broke the ice by having everyone talk about their roles in the game, which was great. I really need to write a…
