So weird to me that people who grew up rooting for Luke Skywalker would now watch Star Wars and be like, "His aunt and uncle would still be alive if they had just complied with the stormtroopers.”

The #ttrpg catchphrase “rulings over rules” bugs me. It’s not wrong, it’s beside the point. GMs make rulings when rules are absent or poor because we’re at a tabletop not a computer. Designers must still ask 1) what rules are needed and 2) how to make ‘em good enough not to need over-ruling. #ttisg

Thanks to the new custom multi-player ship construction, I'm playing No Man's Sky again. Not only that, but you can walk up the ship's entry ramp, walk around inside, fly to other planets, get up & walk around while it's flying, land & walk back down the ramp onto the surface. Cool. #NoMansSky

There is an important difference. If you say "Under Republican control, Congress has been ineffectual..." it provides a basis for voting Republicans out. If you merely say "Congress has been ineffectual..." it implies "they're all crooks!" and encourages people to opt out of voting.

Manda @talzhemir.bsky.social is playtesting Lost Age, her sequel to our Paleolithic #ttrpg Cavemaster. Here are two ‘character tablets’ from tonight’s game. We’re using a diced variant of the Cavemaster “Habilis system”. I’ve tried to draw pictures in the style of Copper Age sites like Gobekli Tepe.

CAVEMASTER is my award-winning Paleolithic ‘stone-punk’ game. Using stones instead of dice, it’s the TTRPG that cave-men could have played! #ttrpg Review: bobgoblinsbastion.wordpress.com/2014/04/04/n... Print Edition: www.lulu.com/shop/jeff-de... PDF: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/1...

My partner @talzhemir.bsky.social began playtesting her sequel to Cavemaster called "The Lost Age". Set in the Chalcolithic era (post cavemen, pre Homeric Greece). Towns & copper tools, but no writing. Adding a bit of civilization to Cavemaster changes the whole game! #cavemaster #lostage #unigames

I like square grids for dungeons (& large building interiors), and hex grids for wilderness. For city maps, whichever grid type best handles the particular city’s layout. Interested in hearing other opinions. #ttrpg #ttisg

Spoiler-free-ish Superman reaction: I had trouble with Gunn’s changes, like Superman’s taste in music 😉 But finally showing him in world full of superheroes was a BIG plus. Verdict: best Superman film ever. But NOT the best I can imagine. Because I now see potential I never saw before. 5 stars.

I’ve noticed a trend over the past several games I’ve GM’ed: players deciding, unilaterally, that some action or other isn’t possible. Instead of *asking* me. Dear players: if you want to know whether an idea you’ve had is feasible, ask your GM. It’s their job to limit your options, not yours #ttrpg

Free Kriegspiel inspired #ttrpg design pursues immersion by prioritizing GM rulings over mechanics. So how do Immersive Sim computer games (all mechanics & no GM) also achieve immersion? Both are ways to support creative problem solving. In an ISim, mechanics ARE the problem solving building blocks.

GMing Advice: Railroading works okay... *until* your players feel the rails. There are 2 ways to avoid this trap. Either learn how to motivate your players & their characters (& then prepare things they're going to *want* to do), or else be flexible (either all the time, or just as needed). #ttrpg
