Nah, Americans in the north don't typically go all MAH TRADISHUNS. This is really just dressed up xenophobia/racism and what they don't get is *they're* the problem.

Theyre complaining about immigrants not assimilating, which is an old old complaint and is basically dressed up racism. What they're missing is if people are going somewhere and not interacting with the broader locals, it's usually because the broader locals suck.

The tabletop police are coming for me! I shared GM secrets with my players! If I don't reply it's because I'm on the lamb! Yes, the wooly kind. His mum was my ride or die battle-ewe and I'm all he has now she's gone.

Very true, community theatre has a sense of place. There's both a rehearsal and a performance space, often not the same but both have identity of place tied to a community. AP communities' idea of place is wherever the audience is, and the performers place is tied to convenience & function.

I get it, I'm just curious if there are any filters on that potential pool from the get go. Because without any, I imagine as long as your (the general You) call sounds good, and is executed well, you'd have people in Northern England and Scotland banging down your door.

What type of performer are we looking at here? Someone who normally gets paid equity rates for APs? Who has a sizeable following?

Is there anything more complicated than figuring out how much vinyl flooring you need in order to pattern match?

I think maybe that calling it too early takes some agency away from the players if you're not certain YOU want a fight. And if you call too early too often, you're probably sending the message that your game is fight heavy, maybe even murder-hobo friendly? I like to emphasise alternative solutions.

Who else in #ttrpg has unusual opinions on when to start initiative? I will delay as long as possible until someone actually takes a shot at someone else. In my last session, the players were dragging out the parley and I kept saying to myself "now? should I do it now? Anyone else would!"

Recently got a look at @sonofoak.com 's Legend in the Mist and I gotta say, I'm inspired. Tag based #ttrpg seems to be a running theme with me, what others would ya'll recommend?

Oh that's fair! I find a bit of silly suspense relaxing actually, might be a personality flaw now you mention it... 🫢

It's cosy, with just the right amount of complication to keep us replaying it over and over. Hope you keep playing!

Highly recommend this game if you're looking for something new.

The Artemis Club PBS Passport has opened up a world of old and new favorites. And one very compelling idea that has taken me back to my love of the Victorian Era. #ttrpg #victorian #occult theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/09/the-...

I'm about to hang coloured net curtains. It feels... wrong somehow. Tacky even. Which is kind of why I want to do it, also they were cheap and we haven't settled on window dressings yet.

YK, Calvino has lived rent-free in my head for over 20 years now, since that poet's reading that introduced me to Invisible Cities. But I'm suddenly not sure I've read anything else of his. I will look up all of these in the hope of inflicting them on my book group!

A little Tumblr of random thoughts only expanded to a paragraph or two? I have a pervasive need to write something like this.

Really looking forward to this coming out. Been listening to Zapp's playlist in anticipation: open.spotify.com/playlist/2DG...

Do you have a favourite work of his? I'm partial to Invisible Cities, but that may be very basic of me 😅

The difference between skill and a dice roll is chance. To what do you attribute that chance? Could it be an actual and singular *something*? #ttrpg

I’d love to keep working on this playlist, maybe eventually reaching one that is full of non-hetero love songs, as many as possible by queer people and queer allies.

Morgan J (aka Tempest) @morganjtempest.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I started 4 or 5 other playlists trying to narrow down the sound. This one here is still in a very rough stage, despite it’s hour length. You’ll hear a roughly complimentary sound that’s meant to guide Spotify toward suggestions that match. The idea is to build it up and then narrow it down again.

@dubhda.bsky.social once asked me to assemble a queer, Dolly Parton themed playlist and it's haunted me for years. I was aiming at something proudly queer and full of mid-to-late 20th century country rock sounds. It was so hard I stopped well before it was done. open.spotify.com/playlist/10x...

Eeeee! I've got a new AP project with @d8dungeon.bsky.social and @daithicdesign.bsky.social coming up soon. I can't say too much or the social media police will come for me, but... my character is a literally-explosive horticulturalist and you have no idea how excited I am to play them!
