Last night my #dnd players returned to their detective agency to find out a local news agency had written a hit-piece on them. I had the players tell me what would be on it!
They spent 40 minutes after the session ended planning their revenge against the news agency.

I'm in the Yukon! Of course I couldn't help but check out the local TTRPG scene in Whitehorse. Even this far north there's a hobby shop/bar called Titans Tavern and Geek Shop
Food was way better than I expected, and there was a ton of people playing mtg, dnd, and warhammer40k. (1/2)

And as I keep trying to encourage my players, but they won't follow through because "morality":
A magic weapon with The Orphaners soul would go hard. Imagine a bloodthristy weapon called The Orphaner that won't harm children. That's sick af.

In my steampunk fantasy TTRPG setting Oddities In Engress:
Rumours swirl of a serial killer who targets parents, leaving the child unharmed. The public has dubbed the killer "The Orphaner", and there is a sizeable bounty on The Orphaner's head.

This TTRPG sounds like you should just make foundational rules for how to apply properties with values to materials, abstract those values those for crafting, and provide some examples for game masters.
IE: A tooth has values like hardness, sharpness. These values translate to defense or damage.

Turns out making the monster hunter style "every bit of gear is bespoke and made from very specific materials" work in a ttrpg in a way that doesn't completely suck is like, extremely fiddly.

Books are nearly commonplace in my #TTRPG setting Oddities In Engress. Gangs even have their own weekly newsletters!
Engress is a city steaming unchecked into the industrial revolution, its rapid advancement wouldn't be possible without the cities heavy investments in its university and libraries!

How common are books in your worlds? Not scrolls or missives, but actual bound and distributed novels? Has your world advanced to press printing, or are other methods of mass distribution used? Are libraries plentiful? What do they provide?

Me AF when I started with ttrpgs. It was my first big social experiment with being openly effeminate with my friends.
I also remember always INSISTING that I just didn't have the gold in RuneScape to gender swap back to a male character...

One player in my campaign is a warforged artificer. He's put automated turrets on the company vehicle, brought satchel charges to a raid, and rigged the roombas to explode when intruders break into the agency!

Curiously, teleportation magic in my setting works best when mapping the planes as flat and using imaginary numbers to form complex planes, projecting a holographic 3d world.
Despite their observed spherical appearance, planes are considered mathematically flat!

The written laws have been broken so many times I can't count, but there is one big unwritten law that they have learned the hard way never to break:
Never mess with Sir Vladimir Strode. The cities most loved philanthropist has a dark side feared by all the cities elite.

Gangs are feared and sometimes respected more than the police. Particularly, the leading syndicate, the Bastards Of Bastion (BoBs), whose crime fortress is said to be the second beating heart of the City Engress.
It all sets the stage for wonderful drama in a dystopian steampunk fantasy TTRPG world

Nothing like a good old fashioned trolley problem to give a GM the chance to sit back with a bucket of popcorn and watch the roleplay unfold!
Honestly, my favorite moments as a GM is when the session practically plays itself and I can just watch.

Giving the player a difficult choice is often better than a dice roll.

I've been helping playtest the TTRPG vibe check!
It's a ton of fun and has a lot of character options for combat. Try it out!
I recommend setting up a combat-oriented oneshot, like a dungeon crawl. Don't be afraid to try interesting combinations of themes and abilities!

Once I've polished things up a bit more, I'll be releasing a free version of my #TTRPG Vibe Check so you can try it yourself at no risk! The Free Edition will include 5 of the 15 themes, all 5 roles, and a good selection of items.
As a reminder, the full game will be $5.00 USD.

My description of attack rolls during my last #DND session felt inspired!
The enemy was an occult feux-prophet who rested his hand on the shoulder of the player character whenever attacking. If he hit, the PC simply didn't resist as he casually plunged a dagger into their gut.
Unsettling.

This would be really neat, seeing all the branches and how various systems diverge. Problem is, a lot of that inspiration often goes unacknowledged.
Are there TTRPG historians? Like historians that specialize in the identifying what mechanics originated where and how they co-evolved?

An evolutionary timeline of TTRPG systems.
I've only been in the space since 2021 (even though I practically jumped in the deep end), so my understanding of how different systems and system families/frameworks is cobbled together rather than firsthand
