Two things I don't like in actual plays.
1. Using the terminology of visual media in an audio medium. Like "The camera pans up to the sky".
2. GMs who put too much emphasis on the "story" they are telling.
There is no camera. You're not a filmmaker. This isn't your story. Stop it.

From last night's Random Encounters livestream show. Lots of great input from folks in the chat room helped come up with these randomly-generated prompts: Shambling Mound Topiary, Adventurer on the Colbert Show, and Kobold at the Zoo.

If you're having a rough day, remember that in 1991 Tim Berners-Lee's paper for the World Wide Web was rejected and he was relegated to the poster session.

I loved Superman , and I was also very glad the movie didn't rehash his origin for the umpteenth time -- everyone knows his parents were shot in Crime Alley by a radioactive spider.

Your daily reminder that this not just a fight for Green Ronin, but an entire coalition of publishers of both comics and games. If you can't donate, at least please repost.
We've launched a GoFundMe campaign so we can defend our property in the Diamond bankruptcy case. The full story is at the link but basically, Diamond is trying to take consignment inventory that they don't own and sell it to pay big creditors. TY for help and shares! www.gofundme.com/f/support-gr...

Congrats to the team and to the Cape and Cowl Club for a very successful "maintain secret" skill challenge check.
The word is OUT #TTRPG! I can finally say that I've been working on a fourth edition of Mutants & Masterminds and that an "Origin" playtest edition is releasing in PDF and a limited print run at the end of the month for Gen Con! Stay tuned to @greenroninpub.bsky.social and to M&M Monday for more!

Your daily reminder that Green Ronin (and many other game and comics publishers) need your help to prevent their inventory from (putting it politely) being absconded. If you can't pledge, please repost.
