What noun would you use instead of games in this instance? Experience? Story? Sessions?

What Dust Remains is a finalist at the CRIT Awards. Community copies are now available at momatoes.itch.io/what-dust-re... so you can try out the game—and explore legacy and sacrifice in a unique GMless experience.

To those unfamiliar to PH Komiks lore, this is a what if of a Wonder Woman-esque PH hero died and their powers taken by her Medusa-headed archrival. Ala Doc Ock to Superior Spiderman. Pushed to do good in a town lacking of such forces. Good fic to check.

Amazing time playing under @goobernuts.itch.io! Had a chance to try his WIP Mangayaw - Folk Hero Edition. And it is looking good. We delved into @munkao.bsky.social 's Deluge at Drizzle Distillery. Managed to free the CEO, find a legendary item, and had Rain God duke it out with [Redacted] God.

Good news: I'll have more time to work on ttrpgs, aside from playing/running them Bad news: it's because my contractual work had an abrupt end So back to the unemployment hole I go

One of the best PvE boardgames of recent. We haven't succeeded in destroying the ring, but I am excited to try different combinations of LotR personalities to fight off the Dark Forces.

One of the inspirations for A Goon's Guide to the Galaxy is Samurai Jack's future, when the quaint past and bustling future blurs to give majestic sceneries like this.

Thanks. It came in a fever dream. But jokes aside, it came from a mental exercise. Was working on a game trying to give distinction between traits (something inherent) vs trainings (some acquired). Which led me to training birthing traits, and traits leading trainings... and then I dont remember.

Without any reactionary moves, PCs are more proactive in speaking their intent and motive to GMs, which lessens adversarial "gotcha" to twart or twist the narrative using a game mechanic. Works for both sides. Also allows agenda moves to run smoother in response to player moves. (3/3)

030

halfminotaur farmer @johnerrwin.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Removing saves reframe GM-PC interaction. Instead of PCs waiting to check if they will trigger moves or mechanic to interrupt the flow, the GM can immediately push their agenda - do soft or hard moves, and PCs now react to the EFFECT of the move, rather than imposing a mechanic to avoid it. (2/3)

halfminotaur farmer @johnerrwin.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Putting it succinctly - the conversations are more straight forward but still fun The beauty of Saves is tactical malleability. Giving PCs interrupts vs NPC actions give games high tension, at cost of prolonging the 6-second in game time to 30+ minutes of deciding and executing actions IRL. (1/3)

This is after running Root RPG for 2 different groups, with a total of 10+ sessions. Maybe not a lot, but enough to distinguish its uniqueness vs other PbtA games.

halfminotaur farmer @johnerrwin.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

I will blog about this eventually, but I wanna say: Root RPG having no Defy Danger-like move or any D20 save-equivalent move is one of the best version of PbtA I've ran and played. Arguably best PbtA design evolution. It also made a bad decision of doing Weapon Moves gated by equipment tags.

Current #ttrpg #brainfart musing: build a cyberdeck that's just filled with TTRPG pdfs and resources, designed to be in-session usable. Adventures, hexcrawls, random tables, character options, etc. All offline usable. That's a hefty dream.

Running two different Root RPG campaigns simultaneously is as draining as it sounds. But it is fun to generate the woodland, and make plans behind the scenes 😉 Here's two Woodland maps of each campaign's current set. Lake map players are already making ruckus. Autumn map players just starting.

#brainfart #ttrpg I'm always fascinate by Pokemon world, where title is a catch all term for monsters, spirits, ghosts, and gods. Somehow humanity has established ways to pet and train them to be companions. And eventually technology to catch them and "lobotomize" moves out of them.

halfminotaur farmer @johnerrwin.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Because of how "videogamey" it got designed, D&D 4E works well in PVPs. Played thru a lot of gladiatorial or arena battle scenarios both as player and GM when I played 4E before. I'd reckon games that leaned to 4E stat design would also be good candidates.

If you interested in my #RPGSEA tabletop adventure game, Dimawari, then here's a tease. I also talk about why I removed initiative rolls in it. Originally wanted to release playtest in January but instead chose to blog and tease the details first. halfminotaurfarmer.blogspot.com/2026/01/devl...
