That second one immediately reminded me of the game ‘Ogre’. Was it designed specifically for something like a wargame, or just to look cool?

I’m shockingly, somehow actually making some decent progress on this book. What should I read next, Bluesky denizens?

‘Great Expectations’ by Charles Dickens, about 2/3 of the way through. Photographed on public transport alongside a ‘Variant’ bookmark. And yes, I wear Doc Martens. What of it??

Sometimes playtests can be as infuriating as they are enlightening. Today I realised that one small tweak had fixed a huge problem with my game, only to potentially create a new one just as bad… #gamedesign #ttrpgdesign #indierpg

My partner and I have been watching perhaps way too much #Columbo lately, and the way my mind works, I obviously have to now turn it into a #TTRPG. I think It’ll have to be some variation on the #CarvedFromBrindlewood system by Jason Cordova, but beyond that…

I’ve never played this #TTRPG, but I have played a different TTRPG where I roleplayed as a character playing this TTRPG. It was great fun— if my character had one critique though it was that the game didn’t take a strong stance on the nature of the soul. sandypuggames.itch.io/monster-care...

After I stranded my #DnD group in the Shadowfell, they concocted a plan to use a magic item to start opening portals to random dimensions. I then spent 30 seconds bashing together a random table of portal destinations... Guess which one they ended up jumping through.

A screenshot of my campaign notes that reads:

PORTAL DESTINATIONS (d8)
1. Hell (Wasteland)
2. Hell (Castle)
3. Prime Material Plane (Distant City)
4. Prime Material Plane (Back Home)
5. The Real World
6. A Deep-Space Sci-Fi Setting
7. The Shadowfell
8. The Feywild

Random Question for the skies: What’s a #TTRPG you’ve played with a conflict-resolution minigame that WASN’T designed with violence in mind? Perhaps it’s designed instead to emulate a sporting match, a beauty contest or a debate. How well did it work?

Plenty of people have already said what happens if you report the post (apparently it doesn’t matter how many people say that the post is dangerous, Meta AI has already made up its mind). But there IS a ’request another review’ button. Here’s what you get if you click on it:

A tiny, difficult to read or even notice notification over Facebook’s news feed that reads: ‘The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.’

It doesn’t matter how many times the ‘Request another review’ button is clicked; the result is always the same.

I’ve been slacking on the #ttrpg creation lately, but at least my 3 campaigns are going strong! Recently I’ve seen an epic battle, a protracted siege and a party so determined to avoid either that they fly through every mysterious portal they find…
