I am in the mids on the first episode and you people are killing it! Precisely my kind of humour! 😋 As a designer, I am taking notes! Amazing to see the layer the GM has added to the material too! Loved Barney 🤣 Thirsty for more!

Wow! This wasn't even on my bucket list! I developed Survivors as my first ttrpg and even if the mechanics are quite different from anything else and demand a change of perspective on the players' part to focus largely on role-play, it is an honor to see somebody else play the game! Thank you!

Forbidden lands shine as an open world adventure. My group just smashed Pelagia in one 4-hour session. They were amazed about powers the head priest controls and how the language actually made sense for them in the end. I am very curious if they hand over the hammer or fight for it.

I watched @thirdfloorwars.bsky.social GM Tips and Talks on YT to get a good grip on the game, incl. mechanics and preparation - great videos! And the actual play has a very solid group, love their interactions! Mine are a bit clownish right now but they will grow with their knowledge of the world.

In Hollows, they are playing a dangerous double-agents in the Beer Wars... We will see what happens next. So far, I am happy with the system. Looking forward to seeing combat in action.

They had a cool encounter with the Blood Mist during night while travelling, safely jumping away in time, though I have allowed them to roll to see that there is something moving in the mist.

Just started GMing #ForbiddenLands by Free League and of course my group decides to go a different way than expected. Well, no worries, it is still Hollows you will find! 😜

Aaand done! ;) My new cyberpunk adventure BREAK/ING/THROUGH is alive at babcom.itch.io/breakingthro... It is a heist leading to a discovery which may place the runners at ethical crossroads. Would love to enlarge it further later. ;) Done for the Cyberpunk Mission Jam!

I'm just running Alien RPG: Rapture Protocol - and it is easily 6-8 hours, depending on how much the players want to interact and roleplay. But easily fits the schedule! And I do recommend it! The hidden agendas make it quite a fun engagement. Clever design. (Need to do a video about it after play.)

Just finished the opening title sequence for our little escapade into the Alien RPG: Rapture Protocol... and wow, is DaVinci Resolve fine! (Slow motion is not perfect but good enough.) 😋 Quite happy with the result. Excited about the game which will go live on Twitch of scifisk (in Slovak).

Alex Schneider @babcom.bsky.social · 16/01/2026
My question is: where can I finally listen to the whole series? :D And please, do not (!) butcher those recordings for some audio "pleasure" - I would love to see the emotions of everybody involved, listen to their small gasps and reactions, watch their meta-gaming talk! It makes the game real.

I am currently prepping for an actual play of Rapture Protocol (ALIEN RPG) and I feel a bit overwhelmed by the granularity of this sandbox. I just watched an actual play for this adventure and was not really impressed how it went. Weird decisions by the GM. I may do a video review after running it.

I really would love to go. I have been to Dragonmeet three years ago and it was a blast! I would like to also run a session in the morning (most probably Genesys RPG or Tainted Grail RPG)... will see.

Flotsam with homebrew playbooks for #Babylon5 characters did not disappoint! Had a blast facilitating the game. Kosh got what he wanted. Talia ended up activating her telekinesis powers. Deuce got a new ally & Lurker's rogue teeps were crushed between these powers! #ttrpg #BelongingOutsideBelonging

Getting ready to run #CometsofKingsport at #GameCon in Pardubice. Edge Studio did a cool job with the downloadable DLC content for #ArkhamHorrorRPG! Maps are HUGE (2x A3) and sooo beautiful. I did additionally recreate some handouts (letter and notes). Anybody with experience how the adventure runs?

I am thinking of running it as a prologue for my Genesys Android campaign to gather some feedback and maybe develop it further as a real meaty adventure. (There are drops within the text hinting at time constraints and other mechanics. Also NPCs may get more space.) Will keep you posted about it! 😉

I also tried to focus on giving them personality aspects and motivations to allow for an easier social conflict interaction, which was inspired by Genesys. (I need to turn this into a fully fledged Age of Mythology adventure, seriously. Well, could be a plan for this Summer!)

Finally arrived! 🤩 My first published piece! It's in the Memorial dungeon for Jennel Jaquays called #ReturntoPerinthos. Thank you Violet for all the work! Village of the Moirai is constructed as a parable on the three godesses of the Fates but can be played as with no connection to their mythos.

I know, I may just do an agnostic one-shot adventure for #sfoneshot2025 but I would love to integrate this year's theme of 'adaptation' into the mechanics somehow... so... I am mixing some token flow inspired by @armadajosh.bsky.social's Flotsam into this. Have to playtest though! 😜

I missed the deadline for the Sci-fi Adventure Jam 2024. It pains me as it was my idea for Stellar Phenomena to be the main theme this year. I do have an adventure ready though, at least in my head, so need to finally schedule some time and write it down. Again one inspired by #Babylon5. 😇
