"That's all pretty neat, how did you make this?"

You can find out yourself because CozyCrowns is fully Open Source: github.com/Odin94/CozyC... (but also feel free to ask me anything)

Additionally, you can now download your character as PDF for printing (or other nefarious purposes)!

Big thanks again to @jasoncordova.bsky.social for allowing me to use the official PDF as basis for this

Please tell me where I can learn more about DREAD-PILLED, it sounds like the slasher game I didn't know I needed and Google is coming up blank

DEAD-PILLED

I need a cover illustration and 3 pieces of spot art. I don't have a particular style in mind. The game is about a bunch of manosphere influencers getting killed one by one at a retreat, slasher-style, if that helps.

...because we both thought it fell into the other person's domain to define this important and ominous event in the character's past.

After a long and heated discussion over nothing the NPC just left angrily and let them continue on their journey 😅

The NPC from their past the player character spent 10min discussing an ominous event from the player's past that made them leave their home all those years ago, without either of us ever giving any details about what that event was...

Bonus anecdote from a time I ran a game of HEART and my "I won't push things onto player characters" thing went wrong:
A player picked the beat "someone from your past shows up and tries to stop you from continuing on your journey"

How do you feel about that?
August 19, 2025 at 9:53 PM
I'm very hesitant to push defining things onto player characters.

I feel like being someone with a hated nickname has a certain vibe that I wouldn't want to push on a player's character - because they own that character and I want them to be in charge of who they are

I'm interested in your take on some examples they list from DREAD, eg.

“What nickname has stuck with you since childhood despite your best efforts to erase it?”

(I lied; I only read it today) This is great, thanks a lot of linking it!

I also love the sources being linked at the bottom

Thanks! I'll check it out tomorrow :)

Thanks! I'll try getting my players more involved in major story beats before they happen.

Much obliged 🎩

Do you have any tips for fostering this type of mindset in players?

I sometimes play with people who come from a min-maxy D&D background and it can be hard to get them into a "bad things happening to my character can be a cool story moment, actually" vibe
