so now I'm realizing that quite likely I've come to speak english with way better fluency than my native language I don't mean grammar etc., but just how long it takes for me to turn a thought into an actual sentence

Saw a YouTube video calling Vampire rhe Masquerade the edgiest ttrpg ever made and my immediate thought was “Buddy that’s not even the edgiest world of darkness game.” VtM is about as edgy as a butter knife, and I say that lovingly

This line of discussion is immediately suggesting the possibility of a companion game to Deathbringer, where you play as orcs battling alway-evil human heroes. "Those humans eat babies on skewers! You can't reason with them!"

Minor rant for #ttrpg but also general #worldbuilding I'm growing tired of seeing martial vs caster divide, except done at a global scale For clarity, I see it as having magical/supernatural elements be absolutely perfect, but everything else be held to all real world limitations

Victory Gundam so far is quite a weird ride I like the mecha designs, it's getting the vibe of a desperate struggle and dysfunctional organizations really well But also, it might be hard to make death flags feel more forced and at some point the dark loops around to being unintentionally funny

Quite often I feel like a bit of an outcast for never being truly hyped up about anything Be it TTRPGs (and especially TTRPGs), TV shows, books or any other media, even if it's the best of its kind that I experienced, I won't be cheering, crying or describing it in superlatives

Crunch-focused folk want new supplements, to give them more subsystems they can theorycraft on but never use. Storygames folk want new systems, to give them more genres they will turn into girlfailure yuri comedies. OSR folk want new adventures, to give them more rooms they will never dare enter.

I feel I may have become too picky when it comes to my ttrpg tastes. Not liking fantasy is one thing, but beyond that there are just so few systems that appeal to me and they tend to be so niche that it's hard to find a group for them

Firstly, did you know, when they say ‘ship it’ in video games, they mean press a button (and then wander off and have a cup of tea)? When TTRPG people say ‘ship it,’ they mean on an actual ship.

Bad TTRPG Idea; Use clicker training and mini cookies to reinforce behaviors you want at the table from your players. Stay in character? Click. Give them a cookie. Don't speak over each other? Click. Give them a cookie. Pay for pizza and drinks? Click. Give them a cookie.

#ttrpg GM tip: The earlier you kill them, the more of your beautiful prep is preserved from their filthy, despoiling little player eyes. You made something perfect. The last thing you want is some half-drow bard/paladin rubbing his dumb homebrew feats all over it.

It is nigh impossible to market a game on the basis of its system and what is designed to do. This is a HARD fact that spans the whole industry, regardless of what bubble we are in. Of all the throughlines the SM/SDM discussions can be intersected by, I think that's the most impactful. The fact...

This kind of sucks, because if we could treat "system doesn't matter" like a normal sentence, then we would understand that it's not an absolute statement, but an assertion that the amount system matters is lower than some critical threshold. And that is a really important and fruitful assertion.

Working on the theory that while system design decides the ways in which it's easy to interact with a system, the other half of what a game looks like while it's being played is expectation and desire.

This thread but for the TTRPG space. No matter how much you love art or how much it inspires you, play is not activism. At best, maybe it can be an educational experience. But even then, it should be a step and not an endpoint.

Generally I look through #ttrpg bundles expecting there to be at best some decent ideas among the small systems I haven't heard of before. For once I can actually say I found something that impressed me with the design, so shout-out to Giants of Steel I guess?

But also I loathe “rules light” as a term because it tells me nothing useful The same term is used to mean “a very few, extremely precise rules deployed very strictly for immense effect” and “idk man it’s improv-driven consensus loosey-goose pure roleplaying magic, it’s so cool”.
