Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I want to find a ttrpg that does this thing. “You could just hack this ttrpg to do what you want.” Right. I know. I don’t want to do that. I want a game that does that already. I’m not a game designer and I don’t want to be one. I want to give someone money for goods. Let me do commerce on this.11:02 PM · Sep 6, 2026 8487

Jordan @gm-jordan.bsky.social · 06/09/2026This is like saying “You could learn how to make a croissant and make one yourself” to someone who wants to go to a bakery. I want a professional to make me a croissant. 0230
SpoopyJoe_Talks_Gaming @joetalksgaming.bsky.social · 07/09/2026↪ Replying to @gm-jordan.bsky.socialIt sets the expectations! If I say “we’re playing this medieval fantasy game” and instead I’ve homebrewed it into some modern day corporate espionage bullshit you would have EVERY RIGHT to be angry/disappointed! When I pick a game it’s because it does THE THING! 021
Nael Fox -> Holiday Concession Banner @sfxprb.bsky.social · 07/09/2026↪ Replying to @gm-jordan.bsky.socialI agree with this wholeheartedly except that sometimes the thing I want an RPG to do is need me to design/redesign a third of it. 220
Riku Ylönen @rikuylonen.bsky.social · 07/09/2026↪ Replying to @gm-jordan.bsky.socialIf I buy a game, I'd like to think that it has already been thought, beta-tested and balanced throughly, so I don't have to homebrew some patches. I can do, but I don't usually enjoy doing that, and I don't get paid for doing so. 020

Kylie Woyote @kylora2112.bsky.social · 22/09/2026↪ Replying to @gm-jordan.bsky.socialHomebrew should only be needed for flavor and roleplaying. Homebrewing a storytelling NPC BBEG is cool. Reworking the flavor of something to more closely fit your character or setting is also cool. But I don't want my game with come with the gaming equivalents of duct tape and WD-40. 000
