I'm live now at twitch.tv/gnome_anne learning Starfinder so I can go to SPACE 🚀 (but you can also chat with me about #ttrpg in general, or ask about streaming, or whatever -- it's chill vibes)

i know a LOT about live streaming #ttrpg

if you (want to) live stream a game & feel overwhelmed by the HOW, come to my streams & ask or msg me & we’ll set up a time to chat 💚

ESPECIALLY if you’re from an underrepresented group in ~the space~ (ie gender marginalized, POC, ppl with disabilities)

I really enjoyed this episode, particularly the discussion of the ephemeral nature of live broadcasts and how the implication of audience affects creation.

*my bit rot/oral history/rpg manifesto is percolating*
Wrapping up the Dice Exploder series on actual play with a game where, to me, actual play functions almost as a game mechanic: @kenlowery.bsky.social talks Void 1680 AM community broadcasts, and how even just the idea of putting your solo gameplay in front of an audience changes how it feels to play
Actual Play: Void 1680 AM Community Broadcasts (with Ken Lowery) — Dice Exploder
To close out this miniseries on actual play, I wanted to feature a game that I think uses actual play as a game mechanic. Hear me out. Void 1680 AM is a solo playlist-building game in which you create...

I finally played The Librarian's Apprentice and I rate it 9/10 for fun and 3/10 for accuracy of what it's like working in a library.

The 3 was for the screeching patron who killed me. Which happens most days, honestly.

I have a VISION of a 2-player journaling TTRPG where the artifact at the end is a complete architecture for a CYOA-style text game

Sometimes I just get this overwhelming feeling of goodwill towards my acquaintances and all the friends who exist far away and I wish I could your project it right into your brains like a Care Bear

Actually, there is a correct number of APs that should exist, and I know what it is but I'm not going to tell you until we hit it, at which point I will blow up the internet.
New from TTRPG Insider: One of those questions I've been asking myself is about how 'big' Actual Play content can get. There are a lot of folks who are really excited to create in this space. But are there too many shows already? www.ttrpginsider.news/p/are-there-...
Are There Too Many Actual Plays?
An in-depth exploration of the actual play phenomenon: Are we witnessing an oversaturation of TTRPG performances, or just the beginning of a vibrant content landscape?

There is a none-negligible chance that this classic scifi franchise does not exist, and instead I'm just remembering super soaker fights that FELT like laser pistol battles on alien planets, but I'm holding out hope!
SCI FI NERDS! I need your help!

I'm CONVINCED there is a classic laser pistol that looks like this super soaker but I can't remember what it's from. What is this design based on?? is it an old comic? a classic B-movie?

i stg bluesky used to have OCR for alt text as a little button built-in. Now it's gone, and all I can find are AI bots that will try to describe the whole image. I don't *want* that, I just want the text 😠
