This whole Dungeon Crawl Carl thing reminds me about when I almost got murdered by my friends when I made the casual statement "Oh yeah, Harry Potter, fun read, just not written very well" Let's allow people to just like what they like so we can go play more games together. #shutupandplaygames

The devs were patting ourselves on the back after a lovely weekend of recording. And one of us got a little big in their britches in regard to their "command of the cinematic language". We were a little in our cups. So I laughed and reminded them with this.

One of the interesting aspects of ttrpg narrative is its use of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person perspective Players tell their portion through 1st person The narrator employs some combination of 2nd and 3rd person Are there any other narrative structures that do this? #ttrpg #fiction #stories #fanfic #rpg

So has anyone else ever finished developing their game. Built the website. Starting talking it up a little. Maybe even gotten a little bit of traction (a very little bit) Then one day you wake up for work (the real work, the one that actually pays you money for your labor) and you realize......

Welp. The last two months happened with the culmination of missing gencon. But we're back up and running, with more content to show for it. Will be posting some more game testing as well! Only one more resource document to finish and then we get to start making the fun stuff.

I have a lot of feelings about this. Most of them are not good. But I am unsure if these negative feelings are appropriate. Didn't we learn the value of inclusivity by gaming with a bunch of different types of people even if they didn't have "your preferred gaming style"? bsky.app/profile/dung...

Open gaming tables are where the magic happens—no schedule, no booth, just wander, sit down, and roll dice with strangers. That's how you find your people.

Welp guess I'm going to gencon. No booth No plans No idea what to do I mean, gaming obviously..... Where does an rpg vagabond go to get in on some good collaborative storytelling action, find some possible future collaborators, and peddle a new completely free rpg? #gencon #ttrpg #gamedev #fanfic

We have been coexisting with so-called "AI" for over 2 years. TTRPGs have never been under more assault than now, and yet, our conversations and initiatives about it are just as lacking as they ever have been. With this Split/Party, we try to address this gap. open.substack.com/pub/splitpar...

Really disappointed the folks at #CriticalRole have decided to continue platforming WotC and Hasbro for C4. Companies who have become such bad stewards of the TTRPG hobby don't deserve such a platform... Gamers, please DON'T watch actual plays who feature DnD 2024 content.

"Hey guys, we've designed our own narrative-first, modern TTRPG! Here's how YOU, Critical Role fans, can play a game that looks like Critical Role at your own tables!" It's literally right there. Doesn't take a team of marketing geniuses to figure out.

I'm chatting about how much I like China Mielville. Tip: When creating a fantastical world or setting, instead of trying to constantly remind the players that they are in a fantastic world, it is often more effective to have one resonating experience that haunts the players for the rest of the game

So here I am making some quick guides for our appendix and beating myself up because there are 10, very discrete, steps to performing a skill check. But then I remembered an exercise that I had to do back in college regarding instructing someone on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich....

This is an actual building. No, it did not eat my friend. But that's probably just because I was watching. Makes me wonder how metaphysical localities might interact with a lone individual while pretending to be mundane and benign when there are potential witnesses. #stories #fiction #ttrpg #scifi

One of my players just reminded me about a campaign I played in years ago where I ran a character that took a vow of silence. To which I also applied to the table meta discussions. It was an amazing amount of fun for all of us, AND ran way smoother than anyone thought it would. #ttrpg

Handy dandy QR code generator for free. Good for sharing your work #TTRPG people! justaqrcode.com

@gabe_sky@infosec.exchange
Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!
