Tomorrow I run Unland by @sdorward.bsky.social using the Liminal Horror game by @goblinarchives.itch.io. 4 YouTubers go to an abandoned amusement park. It was closed when an employee was found to be stalking and killing children that visited. Everything should be fine. youtube.com/live/rZakjvs...

DNGN CLUB 25: A YEAR IN REVIEW
Continuing with another free 1 page game, Safe Cracker is a system neutral mini game to enhance the tension of breaking into a vault.
It's short, sweet, and inspired by Mosaic Strict rules building — it can be played by itself or as subsystem of another game.

Few thing suck more than running a session when you can’t find your groove. The choices were off. The world didn’t listen to the table enough. It happens. It also sucks.

Love this playlist—Craig’s playthroughs of The Zone are so fun, and a great way to get a sense of the game!
And Zhenya’s Wonder Tales is a true delight! I got a chance to play it at the last Big Bad Con and it’s a really special, unique, and entirely fresh experience! 😊

Recently, @itsquinns.bsky.social reminded the world that there are excellent boxed RPGs that are played without a GM and within minutes of opening them. We love them, and here is a playlist showcasing 5+ different games in action. Curious? Check it out. #ttrpg www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
