"How did you get into TTRPGs" My dad read Tolkien to me, then my best friend's babysitter talked about Das Schwarze Auge, I got introduced to chose your own adventure books when I started to read, and when I was 9, Hero Quest came out. It was only natural I would pick up TTRPGs later.

Picture Monday: Ran my first session of Delta Green yesterday at @d12macera.com , picture may contain light spoilers for the introductory adventure in the Handler's Guide. I now want to do some local adaptations of DG.

Loads of handouts and sheets on a table with character names, pens, and dice for good measure.

Finished producing Episode 30 and now proof listening to it, while already starting first edits on Episode 31. Yes, the summer break in my podcast was long, but the upcoming episodes will be amazing. I am so giddy about finally having episodes about #TTRPGs in Africa. (Episodes 31 and 32)

Is it normal to read 16 books and ebooks in parallel? (3 for work, 6 RPGs, 2 novels, 2 short story collections, 3 non-fiction) Not going to start another book in 2026 before finishing at least some of them. There, I said it!

Picture Monday: This might just look like a German translation of a Werwolf 5E sourcebook, but I want to point out that "storyteller" is in the feminine form here. We discuss the issue of gendered nouns and pronouns in many episodes, especially for translations (depending on the language of course).

I use Zencastr to record my interviews, because it records locally on separate channels and is thus very stable. Now they have a new version with AI crap and slogans such as "If you've been audio-only, you know it's held you back." No,it does NOT hold me back, audio only is a feature not a bug.(1/2)

I kind of want to get into urban sketching but don't know where to start. Any advice on tutorials (video/audio/text)? Search engines are useless these days and I don't trust YouTube to not show me AI-crap when I don't have a clue about the topic.

I know it's a military holiday here, but still seeing 5 genuine war ships go past my house is a bit disconcerting. At least they were going South, because war ships going North would have been a mess (I live at the Bosphorus straight, and North would be the Black Sea, i.e. Ukraine and Russia)

Was talking to some elderly Brits the other day: "have you watched that new Odyssey film?" "not yet" "well, it's pretty weird because they all have American accents!" "so you think British accents would have been more authentic for Ancient Greece?" "..." (I guess they noticed they were being silly)

What I learned last week: Playing role-playing games with the designer of the game: fun! Playing board games against the designer of the game: a bit frustrating.

The World of RPGs @theworldofrpgs.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

And my last game as a player at @the-kraken.bsky.social: I was Antonina Zaslavska, painter and boheme, who joined her friends to find out what happened with their good friend Yevhen (pictured) in Kyiv (also pictured). Game: Call of Cthulhu GM: Tasha

The World of RPGs @theworldofrpgs.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

There are also board games at @the-kraken.bsky.social. I played The Crawling Chaos faction in a game of Cthulhu Wars, but absolutely lost. Playing against the game's designer is a bit unfair.

Continuing with reports from @the-kraken.bsky.social: I was Foret, a defrocked priest who tried to organize a peasant rebellion against Lord Haffir's tyranny. I banded up with a bunch of crazy lowlifes and it kind of sort of worked out for me. Game: Trophy Dark GM: @burnafterrunning.bsky.social

The World of RPGs @theworldofrpgs.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

@the-kraken.bsky.social also has loads of board games. I was the hordes of the Sartarian army, who wiped out the imperialist Lunars with a little help of a rocket launcher built by a friendly dwarf. Game: Dragon Pass with a new fan supplement by Gunnar.
