Was a big fan of the original and seeing the work @1matrixghost.bsky.social has bled into this iteration has me stoked — but it’s going to need funds! Ever wondered what Shadowrun could have looked like if it was occult horror instead of high fantasy? Follow this guy and fight out! #ttrpg

My kid just asked me if we could “sneak into the Ziggurat to steal the blueprints for the robot”. My Dad Brain: Inform him ziggurats were ancient Mesopotamian worship sites and had no such things. My DM Brain: That is some FUCKING METAL wizardry shit right there and it’s my next adventure hook

Something I’ve been enjoying with my solo games is the ability to world build a single setting across different systems. What started as a Five Parsecs campaign had my crew split into two separate stories in two separate games (a couple went Starforged, the others went Mythic Redbook). (1/2)

My favorite bit of acting is when an action movie shooter's gun runs out of ammo and they look at it confused, shaking it like, "Damn it, what's wrong with this contraption! Of all the times to stop working!" as if reloading isn't the most routine step in operating a gun

Breathless is a pretty awesome game that I’ve enjoyed running both for friends and solo. It’s one of those that gets the seal from me for hitting the sweet spot of quick and easy rules and enough game to chew on. Oh wait, that’s the zed gnawing at my ankle…

DEIFY was an impulse buy yesterday and has consumed my morning. A tarot-based, solo-journaling RPG where you chronicle the myths of a God, from the moment it's birthed as a stray thought through its meteoric rise (and eventual fall as you are forgotten). First journaling game to really hook me in!

Picked up some replacement thumb sticks for my Odin 2 Portal… clear ones that really show off the backlight, and slightly raised to help when I’m playing Fortnite or fighting games. Seller was Hype Stix / MyHypeBox on Etsy — not sponsored, just really happy and wanted to show off a simple mod.

Diogo Nogueira - Lead Game Designer - White Wolf @diogooldskull.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

So this happened… I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer! I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing! #TTRPG #RPGLATAM #VtM #WoD #DnD #NotDnD #ShowYourWork

Fake it until you make it as they say. And I’ve been playing the role of a TTRPG game designer for about 12 years! Now the mask has become my very nature.

I am going to play the Masquerade game with vampires, for real. After years of working as an independent game designer, like a good Anarch, I joined the Camarilla. I am now the Lead Game Designer at White Wolf, the legendary publisher that made me realize TTRPGs could be about a lot more than killing monsters. I can be one of them, and surprisingly be even more human!

The first book I ever read in English was Vampire: The Dark Ages, and now I get to work as a game designer full time for the first time with the World of Darkness? I couldn’t be happier! To live and breathe the universe of Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Hunter, Changeling, Wraith, and all other games every day, and be able to collaborate in shaping its future is a dream come true. These games were formative in my TTRPG industry, in the Brazilian TTRPG community, and are incredibly relevant to this day. Especially these days I would say.

And with me I am bringing my game design philosophy of “playing more with less” to help make the game more accessible while honoring the more than 30 years of World of Darkness! I just want everyone to enjoy the game as much as they can, with as little effort as they can afford.

Oh, and I am still an Anarch at heart, don’t worry!

I really love the current Chromatic Shadows (+ Companion) but I’m REALLY looking forward to the complete version Kris has been working on. Mechanically rests somewhere between old Shadowrun and uh, “old” nWoD? And I love the cyberpunk with very WEIRD, yet subtle, occult vibe.

What I’m up to lately: Been getting ready to start some “5 Parsecs from Home”. Been printing out some paper figs by @okumarts.bsky.social and putting together an Obsidian vault to track the crew and encounters. Started turn 1; have the details of the first encounter ready. Will play it tonight!

This is pretty damn impressive! SIGIL & SHADOW uses milestone advancements, with the intent for a “full” campaign to be played over a dozen or so sessions. Or you can pace it out as needed, and I’m happy to see such a long journey make its end! #ttrpg #SIGILANDSHADOW @ospreygames.bsky.social

I ran the 123rd and final session of my ongoing Sigil & Shadow campaign today. We had the big final confrontation last week, today was all about making big decisions and quiet epilogue moments. It's probably one of my favourite campaigns I've ever run. My players and I enjoyed the Sigil & Shadow rules set a lot and it helped facilitate our play style and the story we were telling very well. Thank you for writing such a kickass system

So, I don’t own HeroQuest: First Light (yet)… but a friend mentioned how the first quest felt pretty punishing to newcomers. So, I loaded it up on the app and played rules-as-written (no house rules or homebrew). Yeah, it was pretty brutal 😳 Most of the party staggered out on their last bp.

It’s been a long summer. About to be back on my bullshit playing solo HeroQuest. Just spruced up my HQ “Dashboard” in Obsidian. Also acquired a foldable puzzle table (with trays!) so I can have plenty of space without having to contend for space at the kitchen table.

I’m still not terribly thrilled with the Switch 2 account experience (explaining to my kid that our Animal Crossing island isn’t on his device anymore is annoying). But I will say: Mario Kart World is a pretty fun game. Also: the upgrades to Breath of the Wild are pretty neat.

We got our hands on a Switch 2. So far I’m pretty annoyed at the transfer process — I did a “local” swap with the hopes of keeping our save files on the OG Switch (which I’m handing off to my son). It kept the profiles connected to an email, but wiped my kid’s profile.

Seven players for Sigil & Shadow last night. Ages ranged from teenagers to late 40s. I am exhausted, but happy to see such a wild cast. I fudged my own rules just because so wanted to see some fun characters thrive. Predominantly Afflicted, Seekers, one Host and one Bloodsucker.

My brother passed away Friday morning from complications related to cancer (which he only discovered a few weeks ago). I joke that he’s the “older twin brother” (by like 10 years). Literally everything I’m about — writing, RPGs, music etc — I got from following his lead. Fuck Cancer.

My urge to kick the tires on ol’ #4E D&D came from playing HeroQuest solo mode and Five Leagues from the Borderlands, reminding me that skirmish heavy games can still be fun. Anyway, revisiting the DMG made me realize this edition had stuff that was ready for me, before I was ready for it.

Advice from the 4E DMG on how to build a deck of random encounters

So here’s the #4E library rebuild. I’m focusing on mostly hard copies of player-facing rules. I’m lacking Martial Power 2, Psionic Power and Primal Power before I’m satisfied. Happy that most of these I picked up cheap from eBay or Half Price Books.

R.E. Davis aka "The ChaosGrenade" @chaosgrenade.com · 18/04/2025

Ended up ordering a softcover copy of Heroes of the Feywild for #4E D&D off POD/DTRPG. WoTC is really leaving some money on the table not having the core books of this edition print on demand. This came out great — I would repurchase a lot of the player/power books in this format for table use
