Today marks another day around Sol, and as Logan Ninefingers would say, still alive. If you fancy celebrating with me, why not grab one of my scenarios off Drivethru (Vaesen, Savage Worlds, Call of Cthulhu, Tales From the Loop)? Maybe I'll accrue a new largely meaningless digital badge! 😅

Having binge watched the first four seasons of Game of Thrones over the last few days, it's not perfect although there's a lot to like. I'm not convinced by some deviations from the novels, but get TV is a different audience. 1/2

One of the things I like about Daggerheart (and other games too, but that's the one I'm noodling with) is having a toolkit system to make opposition for the PCs and lots of great examples of what that looks like in practice. Being able to dress up jaded baddies as new things with flavour is great!

Recording done on another podcast tonight, look out for thoughts on Daggerheart, 13th Age, Nimble and more coming to your earballs soon. (For a given value of soon, the Editing Kobolds are nothing if not lackadaisical.) Also managed a little bit of prep for AGON to be run at Furnace next month. 😁

Great weekend at Owlbear & Wizards Staff this weekend. A game of Dolmenwood to try it out and then I ran Dragonbane in the afternoon (only one character murdered). Plus a nice curry on Friday and catching up in the pub on Saturday. Good to see some old friends and meet new ones 😁

Great catching up with @trvshane.bsky.social talking about games, life and everything. Online gaming isn't as good as in-person, but it's better than none. Similarly, zoom isnt as good as meeting up face to face, but it's better than not connecting. As Bob Hoskins once said, it's good to talk.

Watching things like UFC you recognise that it's not grappling rules in #ttrpgs that are boring, it's the activity... More seriously, are there any good grappling rules? It feels like they should be an extended contest or you should use conflict resolution. Using task-based mechanics is unhelpful.

I'm clearly a big fan and advocate of Pendragon #ttrpg, and have run it regularly at conventions for (checks notes) decades (😲), so great to see the new edition doing better than Lancelot at a jousting tourney. What thoughts does everyone have on the new version? Or if you're new, what do you like?

Reading up on Hope & Fear for Daggerheart (is anyone else's book going bendy?) and it so happens that the Dark Heart of Andaluria campaign frame pretty much suits the vibes of what my noob players wanted to do. Which is nice. There's clear influence from (and name check for) Vaesen. 1/

Fumbles are great in non-combat situations, like a key diplomatic encounter or shooting an apple off the lord's son's head. Criticals are very meh here. Criticals are awesome in combat encounters, performing feats of awesomeness and speeding up the action. Fumbles are tedious here. #ttrpg #ttrpgs

Had a nice board and card game day at the weekend. Someone dropped out so we couldn't start our Daggerheart campaign. Had a lovely time with friends regardless - don't normally enjoy co-op stuff but Horrified was decent. Greek heroes dealing with rampaging monsters. A new scenario idea forms...
