Dream Pod 9 is in dire straits due to Trump's bullshit. Revenue has tanked, and sending physical products has become much more expensive. If you want to help, buy some stuff. Tribes in the Dark is available as a POD and as a PDF. You can get it here: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

4 days left on the Kickstarter for Sunny Days and Rain. The end isn't looking as strong as my last one, despite the extra effort. And I'll never know; is it the content, the economic circumstances, or publisher's public declaration of the death of the Fate system? www.kickstarter.com/projects/cyc...

Quick warning with Starforged. The first time I played it we had an experienced player and 100% buyin. It was a lot of fun. Tried it again later without the experienced player and some casual players and we really struggled and eventually gave up. It has a lot of oracles and moves.

We got married 18 years ago, which is hard for me to comprehend! We're celebrating the traditional 18 year gift, you know, one of us flies across the country for business, the other probably goes for a beer with their pal.

I actually played in an Exalted game that used Smallville as the base. One of the best Exalted games I ever played. Recently got Exalted Essence and want to give that a try.

I was disappointed. It plays fairly narratively until you hit combat then it is more like D&D complete with a d20. Funny enough it has damage thresholds that feel like they were pulled straight from Silhouette.

Apparently I was in over my head trying to run Pendragon. It has been a while since I’ve had such difficulty running a game with no idea what I would do differently if I was to run it again. Maybe get a degree in Arthurian Lit.

Exactly. That is why I’d like to see the these professional groups work with local communities. I’ve seen some communities become defensive or protective. Like these are our members don’t steal them.

Chris Czerniak @cczernia.bsky.social · 15/11/2024
Another group I watch is socaldnd who put on payed events to teach D&D at breweries. I’ve wondered if there is any follow up or do they leave those players with no way to find a group.

Chris Czerniak @cczernia.bsky.social · 15/11/2024
There should be more crossover. The con did have four tables of D&D going and probably could have had more. I’m sure people who watched people play were given the opportunity to play they would take it.

Chris Czerniak @cczernia.bsky.social · 13/11/2024
It is weird. We had a local D&D con that the local community was unaware of. It was ran by streamers with their fans showing up. There is a disconnect. Hoping to find a way to bring the communities together.
