I can see that being more appealing for those particularly interested in that genre, and much less for those who are not.

Like 95% of them seem to do the 2d6 mixed success with playbooks thing though, so that's probably what people are talking about whenever they say pbta, even though there are exceptions.

Realizing how funny it will be to run Deep Carbon Observatory when a good chunk of the module has waist high water, and a good chunk of the party are shorter than that. #TTRPG Has anyone else ran it before? How did it go? What are your thoughts on it? What should I look out for as the GM?

I'm getting close to the end with my group, might finish it this tuesday if we don't fart around too much. It's easily my game of the year. It's so fun getting to a new tower and everyone is looking around, pointing out puzzles and landmarks to each other, fighting over the binoculars to see better.

asmr where i walk you through character creation in a ttrpg you've never played before and i keep telling you your ideas are really interesting but you character is going to be nonviable and your fellow party members might hate you for it

Friday is a special day in Norwegian society. It's the boundry between snart helg and helg. Usually we cross it around 16:00-17:00. But for some unlucky people, it's never helg.

We got someone in the server falsely reporting a bunch of people, and I got dinged, so now I have to communicate with people like a ghost writing on the bathroom mirror.

I've had some trouble finding something to run after Skyfortress considering they now have a skyfortress, which changes the scale things run on a little, but I'm thinking something kinda lame like "uhh the ship runs on X and it detects some X under this here dang lake." is GOOD ENOUGH.

The people in my FFXIV FC are getting antsy about playing ttrpgs again. I ran Broodmother Skyfortress for them last time, and they managed to take over the skyfortress, mostly by severely damaging everything (including themselves) with fall damage. I'm thinking Deep Carbon Observatory next.

One's backstory should ideally fit in a bsky post. A list of bullet points is also an entirely valid way of writing a backstory.

The apotheosis of this is the One Page RPG (often sold as a trifold pamphlet), a module with barely any content for a game with barely any rules. They’re always an elevator pitch for a TTRPG pretending to be a full product.

Looking forwards to reading your thoughts on what's in this one, if you do a review. The sub-par enemy section is one of my big issues with the core book.

No, but it can get you kicked out for bringing the wrong energy to the group. Ask your GM how much backstory they'd like and stick to that. And remember that in most cases, the more backstory you have, the less thoroughly it will be read.

The group has been playing around with social combat, where we use different moves to attack willpower so we can get what we want by talking. This sucks ass, we've spent an hour on this, conversation is stilted and flows like toothpaste, this should have been two rolls max. #vtm #ttrpg

If you want to be really funny you can start your own ttrpg library group and advertise for it with "absolutely no GenAI allowed!" That's a big step outside the zone though.

Was at the dentist, fixing a hole in my tooth. Dentist has the radio on a music channel the whole time. He sets things up, vacuum in my mouth, gets the drill ready. I open wide. Song changes. I start getting my teeth drilled to fucking Eye of the Tiger, and it's the scariest experience of my life.

If you want some tricks - Look for random objects in your room or take real names and add, remove, or change letters - Use the names of your extended family or social circles with no overlap with the group - Translate random words into some language nobody in the group speaks

the thing about "separating the art from the artist" is that it comes from academic circles where they were trying to separate an artist's views from an interpretation of their work as an intellectual exercise, not as a way to give people moral carte blanche to support shitty people

On top of what I mentioned, yeah. Mention the vibe (silly/serious/whatever) and mention your lines and veils for example, and say that others can message you if they'd like to add some. I'd want more for a proper campaign, of course, but just for a one shot that's plenty good enough for me.
