I ran @mothership.bsky.social for the first time today I forgot a major stress generator so it ended up sort of being on easy mode. I got the creepy vibes right and everyone was appropriately on edge. #ttrpgs #mothership

So weird question!
Does anyone reading this know what a Screwball frozen treat is? It was in this weeks trivia image round and none of us had ever heard of or seen one before. I added the photo below! #icecream

We had to say goodbye to our little gentleman today after 13 years with us and likely 14years of life Ritz crossed the rainbow bridge.
Hug your buddy cats and dogs the time goes by far too quickly. Our hearts are literally broken.

So I’ve switched chairs in the 5E game I had played a couple of sessions in. The DM decided running a game wasn’t for her and it was passed off to me. So prep for a renewed game has begun in earnest.

So after an initial read through of the PF2 Remaster. I think I like it better than 5E and while it might be a bit more complicated it addressed most of the layout and mechanical pitfalls that the mostly novice game of 5E I played in hit while giving 1st level characters a bit more options in play

I played Alice is Missing today. It was the most emotionally intense RPG I have ever played. Well worth playing but I’m not sure I’d want to do it again it was that intense.
