Great video. One of those reasons is because post-apoc has expectations built in. In Tim's own words, "You can't subvert expectations if there aren't any to begin with." I love that.

I'm interested to see how WotC handles Dark Sun. It's more survival fantasy than heroic fantasy. Are they going to tell DMs to ban spells like Create or Destroy Water? Will they have alternate versions of them? Will they turn Dark Sun into a heroic settings, but with more blood? #dnd #darksun

It's always weird to me when someone starts a review of something with "it's not perfect, but...". Literally nothing is perfect, so why even start of with that? Like, what are you trying to say?

We did the thing. Epic 8 hour in person play session. As any good party should, they completely derailed by final fight plans and won the day. It was an amazing end to a great campaign. #dnd #spelljammer

I was out walking and came across some kind of stone marker with "192" engraved on it. I assume it's just a fancy storm drain identifier or something, but it got me thinking. What if it's a future-world tombstone for a robot, designate "192".

I was looking at all the MCU movies with the kids and realized the whole thing is just a bunch of people in a D&D campaign. #dnd The DM starts the campaign by running some backstory sessions and setting up plot hooks that may or may not pay off later.

I'm noodling on a system to layer on top of D&D's magic system to make it feel more like how I think of wizards of old, where powerful magic comes from drawing on a power deep inside yourself, or sometimes outside yourself. But there's a cost to drawing on this power.

This is encouraging to hear. I’m working on a set of homebrew rules right now with the goal of creating a specific vibe for the next campaign. My biggest fear is that players will balk at the idea of limiting their options or changing some things about how they think D&D should be done.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Been thinking about ttrpgs that would make good systems for a campaign where you don't always know who's going to show up. The important bits would be: a core team with a home base, team members go off on short missions with some kind of ending. Rinse, repeat each session with whoever makes it.

It has a very real chance of failing—and *even if it passes with changes* it still has to go BACK to the Senate to get voted on AGAIN. And it barely made it through the first time This thing is way more killable than you’d think and the longer we can drag out the process the more killable it gets
