What are your duet #TTRPG recommendations? I've done Cthulhu Confidential, NBA Solo Ops, PageTurners, and have HUNT(er/ed) lined up, but what else works well with just 2 players?

Labour's response to the loss of Caerphilly is "more of the same, but faster." They've learned nothing.

This has really lowered the bar for a plausible heist in Night's Black Agents. #TTRPG
cannot stop laughing at the louvre heist escape video as they’re slowly lowered down the ladder in a bucket

Trail of Cthulhu features Drives - the reason that your character is motivated to face horrors sensible people would flee. Drives also works in fantasy games - motivations bring static characters to life. #TTRPG

I'm really happy I subscribed to @dropout.tv

The shows are very funny, the cast and production crew are delightful, and they are a big gaming nerds. I am binge-watching Dimension 20 and getting tons of GMing ideas.

I've run every single one of the Battle Scenes adventures for 13th Age - they stand alone, but they are also great for slotting into any campaign. And they have cool maps for the GM and players, too.

An unspeakable horror happened at the game table today - one player asked another to roll their dice for them.

I love London so much. So much.

Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world?

Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.
In London, hate will never win.

The Pro Family Forum’s early 80s Satanic Panic pamphlet "Dungeons and Dragons: Only a Game?” has it all:

- a description of D&D guaranteed to entice 14 year olds
- a list of other, “more sophisticated and cruel" fantasy TTRPGs to try
