My "hot" #ttrpg take: Stop gatekeeping. Let people like what they like, and especially be welcoming to folks new to the hobby, regardless of what game they play. Love [game]? Cool. Hate [game]? Okay. Don't yuck someone else's yum.

Decided to draw a second game just in case I can't find a Pirate Borg game; pulled Vaesen, which I'm pretty stoked about. #rpg #ttrpg

Thanksgiving prep: never made #beer #bread before, so wanted to try it out before the big say. The recipe in the #D&D #cookbook is pretty good and super easy! #baking
A cookbook called Flavors of the Multiverse. A recipe for beer bread and a can of beer.

Taking @astariaxv.com's suggestion: made a list of games I want to play; now write 'em down & draw 1 from a hat: Vaesen, Dragonbane, Symbaroum, Ronin, Blades in the Dark, Urban Shadows, Shadowdark, Pathfinder 1e, Pathfinder 2e, The One Ring, Pirate Borg, Deadlands Classic, VtM (pre-5e). #rpg #ttrpg

With my #D&D group is indefinite hiatus, I'm actively looking for a new #ttrpg group. For which game? That's the rub: I own well over 100 different #rpgs. I'd rather play than run (already gearing up to run a 2014 5e group), but that doesn't make it any easier. Choice paralysis is a thing.

with alt text, because everyone deserves a good cry.

come over.
We Have Enough Dead Friends by LENA OLEANDERSON Come over. The doors are open, my flat's a mess and so is my heart but the doors are always open. Come over. I will make soup, probably from frozen but the important thing is we will both eat. You don't have to be dying, but if you are, or you feel like you are, or if living's been hard, call me, and I will show up. It doesn't have to be that bad, it doesn't have to be bad at all, but if it is, please call. Do you want me to do the groceries? Do you want me to mop the floors? Do you need to be held; you don't have to be dying to be held. If you want me to be there, I want to. I'm on the bathroom floor again, and breathing is hard, and eating's been hard, and sleeping, the world is a laden thing rolling around on my chest lately. Just being alive is heavy tonight, but we have enough dead friends. Come over.

We've got 10 days to go, and about $2500 left to fund! Not a giant amount of money in the grand TTRPG crowdfunding scheme, so I think we can do it!

Help us out! If fellow creators are looking for some cross-promotion or something let me know, I'm finding the limits of my own reach here.

I cannot recommend enough writing letters, poetry, journal entries etc. from your ocs pov

It's such a great way to get into the headspace before a game or learn more about them #dnd #ttrpg

There’s lots of great stuff here but I especially love this answer about what people usually get wrong about PBTA.
Question: What aspect of the game people usually get wrong? Answer (from D. Vincent Baker): One common mistake is the idea that players shouldn't name their own moves. They should. Another is that "play to find out what happens" means that you shouldn't prep, and that the GM shouldn't create elements of the world and its history without the players' input. Not true, at least in Apocalypse World. In Apocalypse World, it's okay to ask for the players' input when you want it, but the players are only responsible for their characters, and the GM is fully responsible for creating the world, the backstory of the environment, all the NPCs and their plans and intentions and everything. You play to find out what happens when they meet.

Behold! The massive RPG Moral Panic video I've been researching and assembling for years, and why people who call the whole affair the Satanic Panic are wrong.
I'm so damned happy to finally have this beast out of my system.

Thinking I might need to find a new D&D campaign/group. The one I was in seems to have faded away, which is a bummer: they were really good people & a fun group to game with. Not many groups will welcome a Kender, either. 🤷‍♂️

Aside from having health insurance, the one thing I miss from my days as a teacher (especially when I was #teaching at boarding schools) was having a consistent group & schedule for #ttrpg sessions.

The best way to help indie developers is to talk about their stuff.
Marketing is a full time job and even then we are at the mercy of the algorithm.
Word of mouth has a huge impact.
