I was going to head to bed early, but Deliverance has just come on TV. Duelling Banjos ahoy.

Tonight we finally got to Yule in The One Ring! My elf was wounded on each of the expeditions... And so the Company's Song of Victory is named The Doom of Belegond. Maybe his newly keen-bladed spear will save him next year?

I'm closing in on the end of a playthrough for my solo ttrpg, The Insensate Ones. Julian is a disaffected PhD grad who returns home to find... nothing has changed? Oh, except for a weird illness risen from the deep sea. That's new.

Is there a service for scenario creators where someone does all the fiddly bits you don't want to do at the end?
Writing scenarios for other people to run is like a reverse 80/20 where the bulk of it takes very little time, but that last bit is taking four times as long (and counting) 😂

Part of being a GM is like giving a Best Man's speech. You've responsibility for telling part of a tale, but it on the audience (players) to be filled with bonhomie and willing you to succeed and contributing with appropriate responses and good will. Games are more collaborative, but support your GM

I liked the new adaptation of Frankenstein, but then I do typically love a bit of Guillermo del Toro. Such a shame we didn't get a Mountains of Madness. It looks great, good performances, very gothic and extravagant, brimming with mood. Very characterful too.

Sharing again for the Monday crowd. Had a really fun game of Vileborn, which sits firmly in the "trindie" space of having lots of room for narrative and other indie game things, with meaningful trad mechanics which add flavour and make sense, without being onerous. Give it a watch!
This time on UGMs, we play through @horribleguild.bsky.social Vileborn, a nobledark game of young adults coming to terms with the darkness inside themselves in a grim fantasy world. Will the characters even make it through initiation? Let's play to find out! #ttrpg

Bonfire Night may not have been the best evening to record a podcast, but I'm going to do it anyway. Let's see how those sound gates and pop filters stand up to a proper test! :-D

Ah, Oblivion. I dig the first portion of the film, even if it's faintly ridiculous, the aesthetic and two main actors, silly sky base and other things do it for me. But then we get to the second segment and it goes completely off the rails. What other films start off great, but you wish were better?

Right, #ttrpgs with variable difficulty numbers. They should start at "Normal" right? What's with having Trivial, Very Easy etc ?
If the task isn't normally difficult or worse, why are we rolling dice, just let the player have it.
Yeah, yeah, you like rolling dice, but let's do it when meaningful

Had a lovely night playing some games and dancing around power cuts in Kyiv this week, Herd Mentality and a session of Pendragon. Great gaming space here for the casual games, view of the @idearoll.club studio to follow later!

What good #ttrpgs do we have for sci fi that are a bit niche, but quality? Preferably not OSR or super crunchy.
