Horror is on the menu tonight, with guest GM Scott Dorward taking us through Dead of Night by Andrew Kenrick - who is also a guest player! Tasha from idearoll joins us too, for a stellar cast of hapless actors on the world stage... or are we?

HUGE news for TTRPG players - researchers have developed a technique to make anything into fair dice. What's more, you can make exotic combinations like a single die that rolls the equivalent of 2d6. I would love a honking great 8d6 for D&D fireball damage... www.newscientist.com/article/2482...
You can make fair dice from any shape you like
Want to roll an armadillo when you play Dungeons & Dragons, instead of standard dice? Now you can, thanks to a technique for mapping the probabilities produced by any shape

I dreamt tonight that there was a television set that had short translucent hairs instead of a screen and you had to cut the hair once in a while.
I should make a scenario around this...

I am happy to have played it even though it meant not being able to sign up for the same game run by lovely mr spike at chaosium-con.

This was my first experience with 11-13 which was highly enjoyable even though we had no clue how to play. I still have the character sheet for my first character and I can confirm that I was a filthy power builder....

I learned that it is not appreciated to smash the princess together with the kidnapper off the horse with a Warhammer.

Oopsie....
Last game of @the-kraken.bsky.social is Pendragon from @sirlarkins.bsky.social @chaosium.bsky.social

The knights managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory a couple of times, but eventually were successful in capturing Sir Brus Sans Pitié

It was an awesome time again. Who would not want to join a convention in an old German castle with the most lovely people around.
I miss it already and we only left 4 hours ago.
Luckily there will be summer kraken soon!

While prepping for my secret #rootrpg session at @the-kraken.bsky.social I had to think back at the session from @hwrpodcast.bsky.social where @aptshadow.bsky.social GMs an absolutely fabulous cast and @sdorward.bsky.social plays the best arsonist of all times. #salamander ! We need more of that!

I got an excellent haul of games I signed up for, for the next two conventions. @the-kraken.bsky.social and @chaosium.bsky.social con UK. Looking forward to both and hopefully seeing a lot of lovely people there.

Def check this out. Frederick is an amazing artist that I worked together with on my soon to be announced project and he did an absolutely amazing cover for that 🤘

On another note with starting @chaosium.bsky.social Horror on the Orient express, I definitely make little chapters for each session as @burnafterrunning.bsky.social suggested in the pacing episode of the #whatwouldthesmartpartydo podcast

Finally catching up to John hooks and @sskorkowsky.bsky.social #modernmythos podcast. Did anything ever come from the 70s movie adventure that they started building in one of the first episodes?
