I’ve never tried playing a solo TTRPG before. Like a lot of people in the scene I’m a fan of Me, Myself, & Die!, but what I really want is a group experience. Watching season 2 put Ironsworn on my map. It seemed so elegant I had to get it and take a look.

There are situations where this is actually preferable. #ttrpg
who gives a shit whether you do core rules first or character creation first or worldbuilding first just put them into different booklets and let people rearrange how they like if wizards can get away with selling 3 books instead of one i believe in you too

the only good book size is mass market paperback and no hardcovers anything else is just dicking around

This is the correct opinion. #ttrpg #gamedesign
stat and skill names shouldn’t have more than 3 syllables “constitution”, “engineering” can all fuck off

in cyberpunk games you shouldn’t lose humanity for modifying your body you should lose humanity the more money you get

HOW IS THIS TRUE? IT'S TRUE, BUT HOW???
if your rpg title is less than four words you and is not a pun then its trad, if its less than two words and could describe something a 13 year old boy drew in the margins of his textbook its osr, if its more than four words its a storygame, if its a pun its a lyric game/shitpost game same same

This is such a deep cut #ttrpg #gamedesign
all storygames should be reclassified as adventure modules for amber diceless

I’m 100% ok with gatekeeping incels. If you can’t handle a woman being the protagonist or a non-white person being the protagonist of a video game, I don’t think you deserve to play games.

i feel like there should be a person who's job it is to show up the first day of shooting, sit the director and the cinematographer down in a room and say "whatever you're about to do, it does not need to be that dark."

Movie Idea: (Pixar style) A werewolf whose animal form's a small cute dog. She uses her cuteness to get into museums, banks, and mansions, as guard dogs and pets, and then at night she robs them. One day she works her way into a household and finds there’s another adorable lycanthrope already there.

Went back and watched #ChannelZero s3 "Butcher's Block" again. The first time I thought it a bit tropey, but still loved it. This time it feels brand new. It critiques every right-wing idea and aesthetic fetish we see everywhere today. Hits hard.
