Got inspired on my way home from work today. Took a couple hours and knocked this out once I sat down in my office.

“How did you get into TTRPGs?” My friend in grade 7 let me look at the books in school and we played over the phone that night. It was Ad&D (2E).

Holy shit! I got a fan mail! I’ve maybe gotten 3 or 4 of these over the course of my professional career. It’s always humbling and always a surprise.

So I broke my foot last week. I was walking in one direction, looking in a 2nd and turning to walk into a 3rd when I tripped and heard the wet snap as I went down. But that’s boring as hell, so the story I’m telling involves a rainy bridge at night and a bus full of blind, baby, nuns and puppies.

I am a huge fan of the Tik-Tok animator, Punky Doodles. A few years ago I took 12 or so of his nonsensical spells and turned them into “real” 5E spells. I have started converting them to Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG and Daggerheart because really, who doesn’t want Testicular Torsion in their arsenal?

A while ago, I took all the inane spells mentioned in the “Punky Doodles” animations on Tik-Tok and turned them all into “real” 5e spells. And they are perfect for DCC. Who doesn’t want “Testicular Torsion” and “Instant Brazilian Wax” in their spell arsenals for Dungeon Crawler Carl?

In a harried moment of improv I made a giant space chicken hatch out of the planet’s moon and now the Emporer has sent the PCs there to stop the World-Phoenix before it hatches fully destroying the moon and bombarding the planet with giant space chicken moon rocks.

We set the mystery of the Meta AI (2 crawlers have numbers that aren’t possible) and one of the party members is a Canadian goose that somehow managed to qualify as a crawler right off the bat. No pet biscuit or anything.

Session one is in the books. We got in one huge fight (Kobolds, local trap makers 001) They found their trainer (Mistress Tiatha) who saw them and immediately started drinking.

Tonite I am constructing magic items for when the PCs finally make it to the tutorial guide in DCC. And I find myself torn between asking for input and give items that (mostly) match the envisioned themes and fuck it: you are pawns to my godly whims and I will give you shit that amuses me.

Carl and Donut are level 6 or 7 at the beginning of the 2nd floor. 13th at the beginning of the 3rd. Carl is 24 and Donut is 39 at the start of floor 4. Carl is 38 and Donut is 32 at the start of 5. The book says PCs gain a level every 2 hours of play, so Floor 1 should last about 3 sessions.

Last night’s Mage game went very well. They are trapped in Duskmourn and have already encountered the twitching doll and they saw the Balloon Man. Next encounters I’m developing are; the dining room survivor, the cornfield and some glimmers. The one guy that couldn’t make it is their rescuer

My Mage: the Ascension game is tomorrow. So far we have kept the world very small and local, but there are only so many vampires and beasties that can be in this one 10 city block radius. So tomorrow I’m trapping them in Duskmourn from M:tG. That should be good for a laugh or three.

Charlie Kirk died one year ago. I put up a meme that didn’t glorify his murder but said “some people make the world better by leaving it”. It cost me a good friend. I look at the attempts of the right to exploit his murder & I have to wonder: why do I have to mourn him harder than “his” people?

So I play in a 5e game. And in a casual, Scooby-Doo style mystery game with no actual combat, I managed to get my character killed by vampires. That is true talent. :D

I am sitting down to watch the Mandalorian and Grogu on streaming. This is a monument our occasion because: It is the first Star Wars movie in the history of the franchise and my entire life, I did not watch in a theater. My apologies to our lord and savior George and my penance shall be swift.

A drawing of my femsona sitting very cutely on top of a brick wall. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater, highwaisted jeans, a purple bracelet, purple shoes, and glasses. Text is laid over the image that reads: "Repost if you like boobs or if you desperately crave for the AI bubble to burst and consequences to happen to certain men in power." My watermark is also over the image at a lower opacity.

Playtesting the Invincible RPG on Wednesday night. I’ve been tinkering with wanting to run a supers campaign for a couple years but I’ve been leaning heavily toward Sentinel Comics. I was not excited about Invincible during the Kickstarter but I’m coming around.

Always happy to get patrons of any stripe but the paid tiers of my Patreon this month are getting a campaign frame based on Green Lantern Corps: the War of Light and culminating in Blackest Night. Magic rings, colored bad guys, environments and advice on how to run the frame as straight fantasy

I’m at a mini-Con. I’ll spare you the name. It’s been a disastrous mess from start to finish: messed up schedules, and randomly deleted events, but within 5 Minutes of being here, I was approached by someone who played in one of my game last year and remembered me. That’s a nice Feeling.

Busy weekend. I’m doing a one day adventure con at a local college tomorrow. I have a writing deadline for an official writing assignment also tomorrow. I’m running a one shot of the Invincible role-playing game on Wednesday and I need to finish reading the rules. Plus Carl pdf on the 25th Woo!! :P

I mean, isnt that ok, though? You aren’t using it for a project or professional work, it’s just a funny thing. Hopefully a few of us get a chuckle form it and we move on to more important things.

I wasn’t super excited about Invincible when it started on Kickstarter, but I bought the pdf a few days ago and I have to say I’m liking it a lot. Playtesting in a couple weeks and hopefully that’ll lead into a campaign.
