Warhammer fans: you have done your DnD cousins a DISSERVICE! Why did I have to learn from a video game that AI in the 40k universe stands for “Abominable Intelligence”?

Thank you for watching my game, everyone. It was probably confusing. A lot has happened. To sum it up, the world is falling apart, but a very nice cosmic being has endeared herself to the party and they are gonna make sure she survives! Also a vampire rules the town

I love that some writer at #WWE was really like “What’s better than Ron Killings attacking John Cena from behind? Him doing it twice in one episode!” TBF they were right. No one expects the second sneak attack

This is about community theatre, but it also could apply to streamed #ttrpg games. There’s no quick fix, but there are steps that can start the process www.onstageblog.com/editorials/2...

Crucible of Aether ➡️ Physical copy is live! @crucibleofaether.bsky.social · 23/11/2024
Happy birthday and thanks for the space! We made Crucible of Aether, a #ttrpg where your character improves at the skills you use! Folks should check out the Kickstarter preview for more anout the game and follow to help us bring it to life: www.kickstarter.com/projects/366...
 color image depicts a collage of four figures from the Crucible of Aether TTRPG, as well as the logo for the game and a render of the book. A masked figure in rotting wraps and a cloak holds out a blooming flower in their hand. A second figure has green and red tattoos, red hair and blue feathering around their face. A third figure has a metal mask, metal arm and holds a flintlock pistol in one hand. A fourth figure stands in the back with a bat hanging from their harm and a knife in one hand. Their red eyes look to the viewer. Knots of vines and metal cables frame either side of the image.
 black and white digital drawing for the TTRPG Crucible of Aether depicts two figures. The first is a woman with bird-like features wearing a dress and looking out a window. She is holding a goblet in one and and oblivious to the second figure. The second figure has mouselike facial features and is wearing tattered clothes, bits of armor and many pouches. The second figure also has a rat on one shoulder and is wielding two knives as they stalk behind the first figure.

My problem is I need people to try new systems. And I’m also a basic bitch. My top 5 #ttrpg picks 1) D&D 5e 2) Call of Cthulhu 3) Girl by Moonlight 4) Monster of the Week 5) Changeling the dreaming (first ttrpg I ever played 20 years ago)

Hot Take: Dark Fantasy should be less “elves suck and have pointy ears let’s treat them like shit” and more “Well the blood plague and monsters are probably going to kill us all so we should use everything we have to fight back while we can”

Hot tip for the #ttrpgcommunity to get your AP found by more folks: make a website. It doesn’t have to be amazing, and it can be a free website, but it should include your cast and links to your episodes as well as a write up about what your game it all about. It’s one way to rank in search.
