You know how a lot of people will gleefully talk about how Bethesda games are incomplete, buggy pieces of shit that barely work but they're incredible because of the modding potential, and the jank is the entire charm? Okay so sit down while I tell you about what I hate most about tabletop rpgs

Holy wow GenCon was an absolute blast. It was so amazing to meet people I've only ever chatted with over Discord. I learned a ton running my system *in person* for the first time! My players were all excellent and I haven't had this much fun in years.

Unrelated to ttrpg content-- I'm about to hit Diamond in SF6 and I'm realizing you can make it all the way up there by 1) knowing a single combo that ends in a super, and 2) anti-airing at least 1/3rd of the time you need to.

I'm revealing my big ttrpg project soon, and I need my followers to appreciate why it's taken so long. This week I'm doing my final pass over the (tr)ashcan edition, sitting at 140 pages with no almost art, no GM materials, and minimal setting fluff. It is a big and absurd game for tactics perverts.

An opening page from the "trashcan edition" of Absentia's yet to be announced tabletop RPG. The title over an illustrated group of characters is censored.

Bold text on the left column reads "A Tactical RPG of semi-automatic sorcery and psionic turmoil across the Golden Cosmos."

Plain text on the right reads "(title) is a foolish labor of love that has colored my entire adult life. In 2011, a group of friends came together to write rules for a roleplay setting in an MMORPG we played. For the next ten years, we who hardly knew a thing about tabletop games forged a wild, rich tactical TTRPG by trial and error after error.

Since 2022, I have been chipping away at this game from an enormous slab of stone. This Trashcan Edition is born of all the experiences these years have gifted me. It's the umpteenth edition, it's as clean as it ever was, it's a beautiful mess, it's an ugly google document. Our work is never done." signed by Absentia.

A three-column table of contents teasing the yet to be revealed RPG that Absentia is making. The majority of table is long lists of ancestries, backgrounds, classes, talents, and equipment.

I've been thinking about "paper buttons" in TTRPGs. I fucking love them, personally. I like being able to point to something on my sheet and say "this happens" without having to hope the GM interprets my action in a favorable way. Let me click the paper buttons!! #ttrpg

Just finished book 6 in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I can't believe I have to wait until September for the next hardcover. I know the ebook is available, but I'm old fashioned and love the feeling of a weight tome in my lap.

I tried a JRPG for the first time: Expedition 33. It's super pretty and I love the art direction, but the gameplay is so bad that I'm going to refund it. I'm too old to be playing a game where the primary mechanic is QTEs.

Adam @wrongonporpoise.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Maybe a hot take, but I don't like when my games have a bestiary with 100+ enemies, half of which I'll never use. Who here has fought an Aboleth? Or an Eye Tyrant? Or a Remorhaz? Just give me solid stat blocks that can scale up, not some crazy stuff that I can't find a use for.

I got to playtest the new ICON 2.0 rules last night, and it fucking rocks. This is probably the most fun tacticsgame I've played, and the new ruleset is way more accessible than previous versions. Strongly recommend giving it a shot if you're at all interested in that sort of thing. #ICONrpg #ttrpg

I started working on my first (and current) project with a bottom-up approach—designing the mechanics I wanted to play with and how the gameplay worked before ever touching the setting. This shit is impossible. I cannot for the life of me write a compelling setting for the (fun) game I've made.

We had an incredibly fun test combat this weekend! The squad was all brand new, but everyone was able to pick up the game fairly quickly. The all-star amongst the NPCs was definitely the Jester. It was needling away at the PCs, chipping them down and draining their resources.
