Long long ago in the pre-pandemic times, I ran a homebrew #ttrpg called Hocus, where you played supernatural investigators stopping the world from ending in a few different ways. Well, two nights ago I had a reboot, with new players and an updated system! The silliness has remained, of course.

I drew my DnD group in pixels! (I'm the gnome with the cool hat.)

A loxodon druid, a warforged artificer, a gnome paladin, and a changeling ranger, drawn in Final Fantasy 4 pixel art style.

Working on Dire Dots, where Attack, Defense, and Health all use these universal tokens! Not sure where it's going, but it's fun! #wipwednesday #ttrpg

Some advice, if you're just playing around with character sheets and want fun little icons but don't want to feed the AI slop machine, you can find all sorts of fitting pictures from old World of Warcraft icons!

I made potions! Now I need to figure out how my ttrpg players can increase their power over time. I'm excited to be the prop GM in my next game!

Five bottles, each about 1" tall, filled with different colors of swirling liquids.

I realized my mom has never seen me in my element, so I was like "Hey, you should come play a ttrpg with me and my boys sometime this summer" and she's like "Okay, I'm free the day after tomorrow". SO. Guess I'm running a one-shot on Sunday!

I'm proud to say, I've published three chapters of my story on Substack! I'm just glad to get it out there, even though it's rough. Usually, I rewrite and edit and lose interest, and it never actually gets out there. #FadesATU is my stick figure drawing posted on the fridge.

I should not be allowed to write fight scenes. ""Her ribs performed admirably, keeping her vital organs protected as best as they could, but they started cracking, sounding like a big, slow bite of a really good hard taco.""

I'm writing my #FadesATU story, and wouldn't you know it, these dumb characters are in ANOTHER fight scene! Wish me luck.

In a story where money is an important thing, there should be an economy. If all the characters are either noble and get money from taxes or inheritance or poor and can only steal, who's making the money? Maybe the lives of office workers didn't make it to the final draft of this adventure novel...

Just bought a bunch of colored fake ice, because of a vague idea for a single-player rpg! I should probably actually plan the darn thing now...

Got WAY too excited to play as a player and not a gamemaster, and made Lhouie (short for Silhouette)! She fights monsters and writes about it and it's published in tabloid magazines for normal folks to laugh about! She is equally happy to make friends or fight enemies! She also loves sharks.

Lhouie, holding a grenade and wearing an awesome shark hoodie.

New ttrpg idea: Classic mecha setup, you play as teenagers who are psychically gifted and can connect with these giant robots to fight off aliens in cities around the globe. But you live on a secluded island, where you take care of yourselves in a hostile wilderness. #AmongTheAether

I agree, even though I'm bad at doing this. It's my campaign, and I realized I can have my players spend time building a fantasy horse ranch. Not so it can be set ablaze by liches riding dragons riding dracoliches, but just because I can make things as pleasant as I damn well want!

My campaigns are always a hodgepodge of paper characters, Lego objects, dry-erase battlemaps, dice, and fidget toys. It's a mess and I love it.

Veteran GM here! If your players find a way to circumvent a big fight or derail the campaign, let them! This is how you make memories. It's going to get silly. And that's wonderful. If you want them back on the plot, let them know! A good group will respect the work you're putting in.

Second main concept of my #FadesATU game: The treasures that you're hunting are Exalts, items that you can level up through achievements. They're also highly transferrable, because sometimes a player can't show up, and you hate to let their phat lewt get dusty.

First main concept of my #FadesATU game: Rival treasure hunters in a far future where death is just inconvenient. So you can join each for drinks afterwards and laugh about how they dunked you in lava after you nearly decapitated them.

Put FIREFLY’s tight-knit crew on a rusty airship, in a world like ZELDA SKYWARD SWORD, and send them on a propulsive, banter-filled quest like DND HONOR AMONG THIEVES. Sibling MCs risk everything to halt the extermination of non-magical people like the FMC Here’s your bingo card #UnhingedPit #Q #F

Squares are as follows, with “POS Airship” in the center: “I need a bomb” “sibling banter” “swashbuckling” “libraries!” “smells like cinnamon” “don’t have to wait for season two for the queer couple to finally kiss” “inside the volcano???” “soul-crushing abandonment” “adventure/intrigue” “sparkles” “elemental magic” “foot chases” “POD Airship” “villain looks like Paul Hollywood” “fire ninja” “sexy scars” “death and/or dismemberment” “prison escapes” swords.” “please dismount the apple stand immediately” “shenanigans” “ ‘engineering’?” “sk islands” “author’s search history includes ‘terminal velocity of a 50’ yacht’” “cathartic shouting matches” CPAshton is written on the bottom

In an attempt to get my kids to play DnD, I made a system where they pick six items of gear made from Lego, and it provides them with armor, health, speed, spells, background, and skills. Although I'm pretty certain what I actually did was just create a whole new #ttrpg. Oops?

The top photo shows three Lego warriors, armed to the teeth, with piecemeal character sheets behind them.
The bottom photo shows six categories of items, each a Lego piece with a slip of paper.

I love looking through my 4e Monster Manual, since it gives such a complete monster, with behavior, moves, strategies, tone, etc. When I'm homebrewing my own game, I constantly grab this book to get a sense of what kind of baddies I want to throw at my heroes.

I love main characters with hobbies. I want them to be coming up with plans to infiltrate the Evvillean mothership while making bath bombs, or making animals out of toothpicks. Even if (especially if, maybe!) they aren't great at it. It's for fun!

Copper Coin Editing @coppercoinediting.bsky.social · 29/10/2024

The idea with Fades is that our heroes can die and come back immediately. They just respawn back at their ship, the Gambol. The challenge isn't in dying, it's in getting to the magic doodads first! And even though it's in space, swords are still relevant, of course. #FadesATU

Copper Coin Editing @coppercoinediting.bsky.social · 29/10/2024

What would a spaceship called The Ouroboros look like? Obviously, it's got to have that cool spiral shape going in on itself... Most importantly, what would the rakish crew be like that rivals the heroes? This is for Fades: Across The Universe, another TTRPG idea! #FadesATU

I came up with a difficulty-balancing mechanic in my DnD session! The heroes are tasked with retrieving red solums, corrupted gewgaws that bring enemies back to life as hollows. They get paid only half if they destroy the red solum, but then enemies don't come back! #RevenantSun

I'm teaching myself how to bake kolacky, because they're cute and would work well in my in-person DnD campaigns. Also, lime marmalade sounds nice?

Copper Coin Editing @coppercoinediting.bsky.social · 28/10/2024

The best part about homebrewing DnD campaigns is that you get to create a world, make a nasty villain, and then just let your heroes do whatever in it. It's like writing a story, except you don't have to come up with the main characters!

Copper Coin Editing @coppercoinediting.bsky.social · 28/10/2024

More talk about The Revenant Sun, or, I daresay, #RevenantSun. The necromancers (ostensibly good guys) each know only part of the knowledge of the ritual that allows them to revive part of the god's power to help people. If one person knew the whole ritual, the god could return!

Copper Coin Editing @coppercoinediting.bsky.social · 28/10/2024

Still on The Revenant Sun!: With the solar god dead (mostly), the world runs on these shards of power, solums, which shine with sunlight and allow people to grow food. These are the main currency of the game, and the more you amass, the more your home city can grow.

000

Copper Coin Editing @coppercoinediting.bsky.social · 28/10/2024

Okay, awesome concept: A solar god dies, and a group of good necromancers bring it to life in small pieces to use his magic. The god, partially undead, tries to claw its way back into the world. BAM. New DnD campaign: The Revenant Sun. Heck Yes.
