Does anybody have any good suggestions for how to do minigames in a TTRPG? I've been thinking for a while and can't come up with any good ideas. And no, I'm not just talking about making skill checks, that's just the game. I want something Zelda-esque that uses a unique mechanic.

GM Tip: The best magic items enable new strategies rather than just adding +1 to rolls. A cloak that lets you teleport to shadows you can see is more interesting than a +1 sword. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

What I’d do if I started making ttrpgs in 2026: - Create zines initially - Pitch to established publishers - Focus on less art and better layout - Don’t chase trends or awards - Collaborate more - Don’t rely on crowdfunding - Promote unashamedly - Judge success against your own progress

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters”

The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist.

But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building.

I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

Ended up baking a cake today. A simple vanilla sponge, but with a delicious salted caramel icing. I've wanted to get back into baking for a while now, as I haven't really had the time for it until now. So glad it turned out so good.

I've been watching the NieR: Automata anime again. I really hope that we get an adaptation of the original Replicant/Gestalt, just because of the sheer number of direct references to it that are in the show. I don't know how they'll handle the multiple endings, but I trust that they'll find some way

The Wild Robot, Flow, and Kpop Demon Hunters absolutely show people are still extremely hungry for animated stories that are not franchises. It just needs to feel authentic which, shockingly, comes when you let someone tell the story as honestly as possible without filing the edges off.

While making this meme I just was googling "k-pop demon hunters" to find the logo, and after I typed in "k-pop" it came up with trans, so I don't think this is that hot a take.

This is the best advice for how to be better at ANYTHING in TTRPGs. Be a fan of the other people and their roles. Love the other PCs. Admire the DM and get excited for their work. Geek out over the stuff your friends at the table are doing and want them to be happy! Everything else will work out.

(Season 2 Spoilers) The only real issues I have with it are 1) how it handles Bix in the later half of S2. She just disappears from the story only to have Cassian's child, which just sits weirdly with me, and 2) Cinta's death that comes out of nowhere. Did they really need to kill the lesbian?
010
Squizz Social @squizzsocial.bsky.social · 23/07/2025
Great writing and even better characters. It's odd that it retcons some of Cassian's backstory from Rogue One ("I was in this fight since I was six years old!" - untrue), but I can forgive it for that, all in all, minor misstep.

Finally got around to finishing Andor. Incredible show, and a breath of fresh air to the Star Wars franchise. I wouldn't want anything else that tries to be just like it; what makes it special is that it's the only thing like it (in Star Wars media, I know that there are a lot of shows just like it)

I was a little let down by the ending (no spoilers), but there were a few parts where that has been the case, but the rest of this Part had some amazing fights even if some were a little lacking (usually those involving Anastasia), even better characters, and one of the best villains for the series.

I started watching JoJo part 6 when Part 7 was announced. I heard it wasn't that great, with a lot of Stands being too silly, but I now finished it, and it is maybe one of my favourite parts of the series. Most of the cast were great, even the villain, and I loved the energy that it brought.
