From tonight's game: "it's like the power of friendship, but more the power of 'WTF, guys?'"
Turns out when your players all play as ex-minion dungeon monsters, there's a lot of wholesome interactions with an undercurrent of unsettling horror 😅

1. 4 of these 😅
2. Quiet Year, Eat the Reich, Daggerheart
3. I'm a fan of rules-light systems that put emphasis on creative storytelling (bonus points for humor, too). Stuff like Lasers & Feelings, Shenanigoblins, and my own Tarot RPG!

The TTRPG world is so much bigger than Dungeons & Dragons. Our GMs currently run games in 90+ systems!
We love talking games, so this got us curious:
1. How many of these have you played?
2. What some systems you want to try?
3. What are your favorite systems (even if they're not listed here!)

I got to be substitute GM for a @roughmagicrpg.bsky.social event Saturday! No prep time, just grabbed Tarot RPG & ran. We had a wild, gay time with:
🫂 Siblings saving their adoptive parents who had turned evil
🍑 A twerking bard w/ backup dancers
💩 A tormented druid learning all the wrong lessons😅

This is why I regularly let people know how awesome I think they are.
We often think that awesome people must naturally know they’re awesome, but they don’t. And letting them know could be the little push that they really needed that day.

Low key, this is why I think you should send fan mail to the niche people you love and not huge people. Bts is gonna get thousands of letters, but that soundcloud rapper may go there entire career getting nothing.
Tell your niche favs you love them in a way that is not weird!!

The funniest thing about being A Person in a very niche microcommunity is that you suddenly realize that the people you think of as "famous" in other microcommunities are in the exact same boat as you

I love this so much. One of the greatest lessons one can learn playing ttrpgs, how to gather up enough courage to try.

Overheard and misheard a tech support call. They did not, in fact say "if it's extra delicious, eat it." It was suspicious, delete it. I... I may be hungry.

If you're immune to spoilers, I made a WIP post about a new campaign I'm working on with a couple of the Rough Magic folks. I love putting my city into projects. This whole game will be full of Chicago references, and for this section I got to put it into puzzles!

Day 1 of GameHole Con has come to an end, and the stories from today's Tarot RPG sessions were so delightfully unhinged 😂
- A cult of dragon-worshipping barbarians high on mushrooms
- A heist to reacue an animal from a wizard's zoo but it turned out all of the animals were polymorphed people

During last night's session, the party rolled 5 nat 1s.
Cindy Lou Hoo (in Feyrun via exchange program to become an adventurer) was looking for a monogrammed towel in the BBEG's guest house. BBEG is charming af, and she wanted to get something signed. But rolled a 1. "It's cursed!" she moaned. (1/5)
