(he/him) Friendly neighbourhood normal person. Ttrpg enthusiast. Working on my game is a vehicle on my journey through game design.
I wanted this to be my cozy hobby space. I wanted to only follow people from the ttrpg community. I wanted this one app not to be about doom scrolling. I guess it didn't work.

We can wear them out through a war of attrition fought in the courts, the streets, and the states. Sabotage, delay, deny, refuse to comply, sue, sue again, donate to the nonprofits that are suing, use local elections to best effect even if national elections become undemocratic...

@der-postillon.com: "Reaktion auf Merz: Hans-Georg-Maaßen tritt in CDU ein."- wäre eine passende Schlagzeile für euch.

This little thought experiment most probably needs refinement.
If you happen to be a #bird person and/or play #Mausritter, I'd love to hear what you make of this 🐦️

Wait, WTF. Yochai Gal quit Bluesky because people were hounding him about linking to a review?
JFC #TTRPG people. We're trying to make this NOT Twitter. That means leaving the performative concern-trolling behind. There's shit to get up in people's grills about, and shit that just doesn't matter.

Tip 14: If you have to cancel a #TTRPG gaming session (and it happens don't worry)
a) do it as early as possible (no matter how uncomfortable you feel),
b) propose 3-4 new suggested dates, and
c) take mental responsibility for arranging the replacement session.
Your GM will LOVE you!

Being the most valuable player at any #TTRPG table means:
1. Play to lift up
Listen to what people say about their characters and play as if that is true. Is someone charismatic? - let them persuade you. Is someone a badass fighter? - talk them up, act like it's true.
You will make someone's day

For a moment I thought "what about a ttrpg game of ordinary people undertaking incursions into a fantastical dimension to experience wondrous adventures just to return to their ordinary lives during downtime feeling more and more detached." Then I realized the irony of it.

Ok #TTRPG peeps. Saying a game — someone else's, yours doesn't matter — "encourages roleplaying" tells me nothing. There are numerous non-game specific methods to help bring players out of their shells and get engaged. /1

What to run this year for Halloween? Any suggestions for a module? Preferably in a modern setting. Liminal Horror, Cthulhu Dark, Call of Cthulhu, Vaesen and Dread are all fine. #ttrpg #rpg #indiettrpg #indierpg

Finally our #slugblaster campaign kicked off! The crew of weirdo teenagers explored Thennis Spars bustling market, tagged a "no hoverboarding" sign, met an interdimensional apple merchant, took a guided dungeon tour and broke into the ancient upside down underground full of ghosts and ghouls. #ttrpg

I find it really weird and alienating how the DND world discusses the new edition like a video game balance patch. This is so far from how and why I play #ttrpg 's. Sadly it's exactly how I experience my DND group.

What #rpg setting or module would make for a great #slugblaster dimension?
The Stygian Library? Ultraviolet Grasslands? Electric Bastionland? Pulp Cthulhu? The Wildsea?

Next campaign is going to be #Slugblaster ! I plan to prepare some dimensions based on other modules. I desperately want to sneak UVG and Wildsea in. #ttrpg #indiettrpg

Running the Trophy Gold incursion Hester's Mill tomorrow. Under prepared but highly motivated 💪 #ttrpg #trophyrpg
For those who ran it: Did you finish it in one session?

Funny (but shallow) little idea for group rolls in 2d6 systems: One person rolls and adds their stat, every other participant **has to** reroll any one die.

I'm fairly new to OSR/NSR games. Any recommendations for great one shot modules I could quickly pull out when our regular game is paused? #ttrpg

24XX is my newest fascination. Haven't played it yet but I've been obsessed for the past few days. It's a simple rules framework with micro games fitting on a few pages. It has traces of World of Dungeons, Into the Odd and maybe some sprinkles of PbtA.
