FRPG Player Tip: Even the most serious games have room for humor and in-character joking, but respect the tone the GM sets for the campaign so you don’t push the humor too far. Being told that the red dragon boss is named “Yrtraazon” versus “Biff” should give you a sense of where the bar’s been set.

Thank you @robindlaws.bsky.social for "At the GM's discretion" segment on today's Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff podcast. When I started writing my last game, I labeled a lot of rules as "optional", before I realized that—they're ALL optional! It's 2026, I don't need to point out that.

I feel like we should amend our comments about quotes such as this. It's not just "... with any other president", it's more accurate to say "with any other US population." It's not Trump that's unique in things being off the rails, it's the public's acceptance of Trump .

I stopped trying to convince people the games I make and play are “better” than what other people make and play years ago. If someone who is not from my vector of the hobby wants to talk to me about the merits of various game mechanics, I politely bow out, or point them to one of my podcasts.

Like a bugbear, a vampire spawn or a rogue weretiger, it's creeping closer … closer … Just one more month until REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING reaches shelves! Why wait for it any longer than you have to? Pre-order your copy today! spyandowl.com/remons...
The cover of REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING: Five adventurers—a dragonborn paladin, a forest gnome barbarian, an orc druid, a tiefling bard and a goliath sorcerer—are fighting a rakshasa in the richly appointed office of a royal adviser. On the rear wall is a portrait of a handsome, mustachioed human who wears the exact same robes of honor as the rakshasa. The rakshasa is savagely tearing into the paladin's throat with its claws. The look on the paladin's face is of someone unexpectedly confronting his own mortality. The shellshocked barbarian looks like she's about to drop her absurdly oversize axe; the bard and the sorcerer are clearly terrified, holding their weapons limply. The druid, on the other hand, looks resolute, angry and unafraid. The cover is accompanied by text saying, "One more month! Pre-order today!"

This won't apply to games like Cypher or Daggerheart where NPCs use different health and damage rules than player characters. But for games like D&D, if the GM creates an NPC like a Grand Wizard or Warrior King, is it unfair if they don't use the same rules that characters do to create them? 1/2

Many TRPGs are based on other IPs, but many aren't yet adapted. Imagine your favorite IP that you'd like to play in. Does it needs it's own game system, or could it be made into an adventure or setting for an existing game system? NOTE: responses may be quoted on the Shadomain Show/blog

one thing that interests me a lot is #TTRPG players who like OSR-ish styles of games, but have only been playing in the last 10 years or so. They aren't doing it for nostalgia's sake. I don't see anything wrong with it, BTW, but I'd love to hear why.
