Hey game devs, I am begging you. If your game starts with a cutscene, that's totally fine. You've got a story to tell, I get you. But PLEASE let me get to the settings so I can change, among other things, the volume. PLEASE.

My first D&D character was a Halfling Tempest Cleric named Rory Thunderstone. He was raised by Mountain Dwarves to worship Thor and wore heavy armor. I still have his character sheet. Love that lil guy! #dnd #d&d #ttrpg #roleplay

Great sage advice as usual from Mike at #SlyFlourish ! This approach developed a lot in my GM style as I played more Dungeon World. I really need to get more #pbta games under my belt because I love the flexible collaborative improv nature of them! #ttrpg #dnd #gm

This is why I prefer rules-light systems like Mörk Borg that by design are modular and have tons of third party content to slot into my games as I’d like. Hell, there’s a genre of TTRPGs called “Borgs” that are entire new settings with rules adapted to them. My fave. #ttrpg #morkborg #osr #gm

I’ve recently had the pleasure to be a player in a #Cairn 2e game and it’s been so fun!! Should be finishing up next Tuesday. My first impressions of the system are that it’s fantastic and combat is extremely scary!! Recommend checking it out if you’re into #d&d but want a new #fantasy #ttrpg

I am having a blast running #Mothership #RPG ! It’s just such a great system with an ACE #GM guide (Warden Operations Manual). Started off the campaign with a bang using the Crashlanders framework, then started a slow burn towards the real #Horror. Shit’s about to get real for my players 😈 #TTRPG

3) But as a player, it felt awesome!! I took risks, I gloated, and I destroyed my opponent and we all cheered afterwards. As a player, I didn’t feel that it was a handout, but rather appropriate for the story we’re making together. And perhaps, in the future, I should reconsider my stance as the GM.

Fancy Zombie Games @fancyzombiegames.bsky.social · 04/11/2025
2) I wasn’t expecting favorable treatment, but it’s not the first time during the campaign that my PC and others in the group have been saved by the God Iomedae. To be clear - my PC would have died for sure without help. And my confliction is that I would not make someone invincible as the GM.

Fancy Zombie Games @fancyzombiegames.bsky.social · 04/11/2025
1) So I’m a little conflicted about what happened in Sunday’s #Starfinder game. My Vesk Soldier had a climactic fight for the title of King 👑 During the fight, the GM messaged that I was buffed immensely by Iomedae (literally invincible). The fight was incredible! But my victory didn’t feel earned..

Calling myself out a bit on these “near future” projects, but I aim to have these all released by the end of the year. I mostly need to buckle down and work on art. 2/3 #MörkBorg scenarios are completely made (pending art) and playtested at least a few times so we’re gettin there! #rpg #ttrpg

Furthermore, even if you don’t run the other game, there’s still value as a GM to pick up a new book and peruse the setting and rules. Make a PC that you’ll never use just for fun. Grab a rule or story hook and tweak it as homebrew for the game you’re currently running. Give Solo-play a chance too!

Fancy Zombie Games @fancyzombiegames.bsky.social · 18/08/2025
Today’s #RPG thought: Play as many different #TTRPGs as you can! There’s (probably) not a perfect game system out there. Many have at least one mechanic that sticks with you. One that comes to mind, “pushing the roll” from #CallOfCthulhu 7e. Most things can be re-attempted, but failure is harsh!

Depends on the situation. If the weaker one is a PC and they have a chance to kill a BBEG for instance, they earned it. If a PC may die, is the enemy smart enough to a) recognize they’re down but not dead yet, b) decide this is the most tactical decision, and c) do so without risk then yeah

Finished my first playthrough of the Dead Space remake last night. It was amazing to experience the setting and story again. So good!! Very disappointed that #EA pulled the plug on a Dead Space 2 remake, which would be a 10/10 game. #DeadSpace #Sci-Fi #Games #Twitch

Sorry, been a bit since I posted.. #RPG tip: Consider using a “play-by-post” format to handle story transitions/downtime between sessions. Very handy when scheduling is difficult (we all know that’s the real BBEG). You may be surprised at how meaningful dialogue can be when you have time to think!

I love the concept of The Uncanny Valley because it implies that at some point in our evolution it was beneficial to identify when someone / something wasn’t *quite* human.

Chasing realism in games visuals is okay I guess. I'd rather embrace characterful stylized weirdness.
