Happy Holiday to all who celebrate

Now that I have a computer that can run it, I’m having a blast replaying Cyberpunk 2077 and exploring the post-2.0 world that I missed on my PS4.

After a month off between stories, my #vampirethemasquerade chronicle picks up again tonight. One of my players has decided that his vampire will maintain his connection to humanity by making the stand-up-to-pro-wrestling transition with an indie promotion in Brooklyn.

I’m finally getting caught up with the fantastic version of The Enemy Within recently concluded by @redmoonroleplaying.bsky.social and in episode 95, I actually had a laugh out loud relatable moment: Matthew Dawkins’ Sigfrieda reporting the events of The Horned Rat. “DAMN THEIR HAPPINESS”

1.) D&D BECMI Red Box
2.) Same
3.) Probably D&D 5e
4.) Cyberpunk RED
5.) Oh man, I can only pick one? I guess since it didn’t get answered in one of the other questions, WFRP.
6.) Oh dang, maybe @jackguignol.bsky.social and PLANET MOTHERFUCKER?
7.) Vampire: The Masquerade 5e

I just ran The Frog Demon Temple from What Ho! Frog Demons? By @kutalik.bsky.social and published by @hydracoop.bsky.social for **13** people.

Fun was had, an Ultimate Pavol was declared, frogs were talked to, and frog demons were slain.

But holy shit keeping 13 people in it is exhausting.

If anyone ever wonders why I seem to always test into Brujah…
Be intolerant of intolerance, embrace confrontation. Do not be jaded by the flood of injustices, stay angry. Make space in your heart to fight the wrongs that don't affect you, your strength needs a purpose. Oblige them the right to die on their hills of hate, ours is just. Do not pity their cries.

It’s funny. The level of sports-hate I have for the Philadelphia Flyers is mirrored by how much I ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY FUCKING LOVE GRITTY
Gritty continues to be a real one

BEHOLD!

On the heels of last nights post about the Aiuvarin Orc and Dromaar Orc sibling team for #Pathfinder2e I present…

Calandra and Alithavandariel Gorbag

Calandra is a Dromaar Elf Fighter and Alithavandariel is an Aiuvarin Orc Wizard

I can’t be the first #Pathfinder2e nerd to come up with this idea for buddy PCs…

TWINS

Aiuvarin Orc
Dromaar Elf

One takes after mom one takes after dad.

Considering the latest ragebait from Twitter, what’s everyone’s favorite non-dnd ttrpg system? I think I need to broaden my horizons. #ttrpg #dnd #d&d

Supported a local business and filled a notable gap in my vampire library.

I'd like to make a counter-proposal: TTRPG folx are largely fine at telling stories, because:

Tabletop stories should not align to the (western-centric, specific-to-linear-forms, already-conservative-even-in-discussions-of-linear-forms) "traditional" shape of stories.
In the new Quinns Quest review of Slugblaster, Quinns says he thinks rpg folks are largely shit at telling stories. Paraphrasing: "We have spent decades arguing over dice systems, XP, world building. We've spent hardly any time on what makes a good character or the shape stories traditionally take."

One of my #vtm players’ contacts,Templ. He is in no way inspired by Gary Oldman’s Drexl Spivey.

Vampire: The Masquerade
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay
Call of Cthulhu
Twilight: 2000
Cyberpunk 2020/RED

Too many choices really! Already 2nd guessing my list.

One piece of the Vampire: The Masquerade chronicle I am working on is in place. SOON WE WILL FEAST
November 16, 2024 at 4:56 AM
This is beautiful
As a person who has played VtM since 1991 and am in the same chronicle since 1992... this is hilarious.

As we approach Veterans Day, this Skeet is more important than ever.
Rex, Wulffe, and Gregor out in the middle of nowhere hunting joopas is some Deer Hunter-level veteran shit. I wonder if there are logistics or finance clones wearing “Ryloth Campaign Vet” hats demanding discounts at cantinas and shit, getting mad when people don’t thank him for his service.
