Last session was a success with creeping in more body horror, strange events, and revealing just enough about the real threat that my players are starting to lose their minds (insert maniacal laughter 😈).
This campaign is awesome!

I am having a blast running #Mothership #RPG ! It’s just such a great system with an ACE #GM guide (Warden Operations Manual). Started off the campaign with a bang using the Crashlanders framework, then started a slow burn towards the real #Horror. Shit’s about to get real for my players 😈 #TTRPG

4) What do you guys think? Have you seen / done this? How did you feel about it? I’d love to hear!

3) But as a player, it felt awesome!! I took risks, I gloated, and I destroyed my opponent and we all cheered afterwards. As a player, I didn’t feel that it was a handout, but rather appropriate for the story we’re making together. And perhaps, in the future, I should reconsider my stance as the GM.
2) I wasn’t expecting favorable treatment, but it’s not the first time during the campaign that my PC and others in the group have been saved by the God Iomedae. To be clear - my PC would have died for sure without help. And my confliction is that I would not make someone invincible as the GM.

1) So I’m a little conflicted about what happened in Sunday’s #Starfinder game. My Vesk Soldier had a climactic fight for the title of King 👑 During the fight, the GM messaged that I was buffed immensely by Iomedae (literally invincible). The fight was incredible! But my victory didn’t feel earned..

I also have the core book but have not ran it yet. I recommend Haunted City from the Glass Cannon Network if you want a solid actual play of the game.

Calling myself out a bit on these “near future” projects, but I aim to have these all released by the end of the year. I mostly need to buckle down and work on art.
2/3 #MörkBorg scenarios are completely made (pending art) and playtested at least a few times so we’re gettin there!

I know I’m not the only one who struggles with #motivation sometimes. I watch this awesome video from Uncle Atom when I feel bad about my “pile of potential” and figured it could help you too!

Furthermore, even if you don’t run the other game, there’s still value as a GM to pick up a new book and peruse the setting and rules. Make a PC that you’ll never use just for fun. Grab a rule or story hook and tweak it as homebrew for the game you’re currently running. Give Solo-play a chance too!
Today’s #RPG thought: Play as many different #TTRPGs as you can! There’s (probably) not a perfect game system out there. Many have at least one mechanic that sticks with you.
One that comes to mind, “pushing the roll” from #CallOfCthulhu 7e. Most things can be re-attempted, but failure is harsh!

Depends on the situation.
If the weaker one is a PC and they have a chance to kill a BBEG for instance, they earned it.
If a PC may die, is the enemy smart enough to a) recognize they’re down but not dead yet, b) decide this is the most tactical decision, and c) do so without risk then yeah

Hypothetical question for the GMs out there;
Let's say, you have a very powerful character who is helpless and a weaker character is about to take an action that would leave the stronger character dead to rights.
Do you kill the powerful character, or do something else?

Finished my first playthrough of the Dead Space remake last night. It was amazing to experience the setting and story again. So good!!
Very disappointed that #EA pulled the plug on a Dead Space 2 remake, which would be a 10/10 game.

Sorry, been a bit since I posted..
#RPG tip: Consider using a “play-by-post” format to handle story transitions/downtime between sessions. Very handy when scheduling is difficult (we all know that’s the real BBEG). You may be surprised at how meaningful dialogue can be when you have time to think!

I love the concept of The Uncanny Valley because it implies that at some point in our evolution it was beneficial to identify when someone / something wasn’t *quite* human.
