Great time at @rpgbirmingham.bsky.social this week. The GM of our Lancer campaign wasn't well so we played a one-shot of Cairn. Lots of pigs, goblins and slimy tentacles. #ttrpg #cairnrpg

Couldn't attend @rpgbirmingham.bsky.social last week coz of a chest infection so missed Lancer 😢 Looking forward to getting back this week. Sounds like the rest of the gang got themselves in some bother during my absence . . . #LancerRPG #ttrpg

More Forbidden Psalm fun last night as we tried (with varying success) to stop a bunch of farmyard animals from summoning evil nasties. Brilliantly crazy scenario. Love this game #ForbiddenPsalm #wargaming #ttrpg

#ttrpg folks, I need some ideas. The next campaign I GM is now gonna have to accommodate 6 players. This is too many for most of the games I've shortlisted. What games work well at this player count?

Played Dungeon Crawl Classics by @goodmangames.bsky.social for the first time last week. Good fun session. We were messing around a bit too much to properly evaluate the system, but defo open to playing it again. #dcc #ttrpg

Tonight's game of #ForbiddenPsalm became an absolute bloodbath as both warbands were set upon by ghouls whilst foraging for fungus. I lost a man and my friend had her whole crew wiped out! Great chaotic fun as always with this game

Will be playing a one-shot of #DungeonCrawlClassics this week. Looking forward to trying the system

Good times at this week's #LancerRPG session. We joined a planetary resistance movement and are trying to infiltrate the House of Glass. Enjoying the extra tricks a level in Goblin provides

Reekstar @reekstar.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

We've hit Licence Level 1 in our #LancerRPG campaign. After much deliberation have gone Goblin. Plan is to stick with Chomolungma and take a bunch of different license dips. Hopefully create a bit of a support/control Swiss army knife

This lovely haul arrived today. My weekend reading sorted. #GardensOfYnn by Emmy Allen, published by @soulmuppet.co.uk. #TheJobRPG by Andre Novoa, published by @gamesomnivorous.bsky.social. #CourtOfBlades written and published by @acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social. Can't wait to get stuck in to these 🤤

Great fun playing #LancerRPG at @rpgbirmingham.bsky.social last night. My Chomolungma set fire to the elite Scout leading the NPCs. GM has sworn revenge lol

If anyone in #BirminghamUK is looking for a TTRPG club, @rpgbirmingham.bsky.social meets every Thursday, 7pm at Hennessey's bar in Digbeth. Loads of games happening. A lot of 5e (obvs) but plenty of indie games too

Played the first session of #LancerRPG last night. We tangled with some space pirates which was fun. Not usually a huge fan of tactical combat TTRPGs but have to say that Lancer does it particularly well. Nice to get a break from GMing and enjoy being a PC too 🙂

My copy of #TheShrike by Leo Hunt arrived this week! Brilliantly grimdark adventure module set in an abandoned corner of Hell. Some amazing NPCs in this too. Another winner from @joelhines.bsky.social publishing

@morkborg.bsky.social is the perfect game for one-shots. It's simple. It's fun. Print off a bunch of 3hp redshirts from Scvumbirther; by the time the players have read their character descriptions and rolled up a few pre-game Miseries, they know *exactly* what sort of ride it's gonna be

Got my copy of #ThePaintedWastelands by @agamemnonpress.bsky.social this week. Wow, what a beauty! Deliciously demented sciencefantasy goodness and Tim Molloy's art works perfectly

Rethinking my choice of mech for the upcoming #lancerRPG campaign. Veering more towards the Hydra license now

Re-reading #TeethRPG by @rossignol.bsky.social & @marshdavies.bsky.social. Astonishingly good setting. Tonally somewhere between Dolmenwood and the Warhammer Old World but totally unique. Ran the Blood Cotillion one-shot earlier this year. Must do a campaign in '25. Can't wait for #GoldTeethRPG

Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund ‘moderate’ (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too. This is what oligarchy looks like. It’s the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ‘cancel culture.’ Not trans kids. Not college protesters. Oligarchy.

I probably think too much about the irony that the Internet, a product of a post-Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, has provided fertile ground for society to return to the pre-Enlightenment era of superstition and kings.

Gonna be a player in a #lancerRPG campaign for the first four months of '25. Anyone got any advice? Currently looking at the Gorgon licence

Barbarians of Lemuria was good fun. Players really embraced the creativity that Hero Points allowed them. They crushed a snake demon with the prow of a boat. Loved it

Running a Barbarians of Lemuria one-shot tomorrow. Looking forward to giving it a go
