I had a blast playing Vast Grimm at a con, so I just bought the book. It's a very colorful, unique space setting.
Also been preparing to run Brindlewood Bay, which is old-ladies murder mystery themed. Not exactly my favorite genre, but an absolutely beautifully designed extension of PbtA mechanics.

Still workshopping my grand, overarching theory of #TTRPG prep. I know it looks chaotic, but it's really quite simple:
"Fronts" represent what the antagonists will do without intervention.
The "Response Algorithm" determines how they respond if and when the PCs show up.

Wow, super R-rated Delta Pink from the folks over at @pinkfohawk.bsky.social is blowing my mind! It's so good. Really impressed with the players really committing to the bit, and the GM is a masterclass in setting the scene.

How can I hook my players into inter- or intra-faction conflicts? Do players actually enjoy mechanics/minigames/story beats based on reputation, standing, or alliance—eg, faction missions, faction boons.
Attached are the Seven Tribes of #KOKOTÖNA 's Teotekah Empire as food for thought.

For #SelfPromoSaturday, let's look at more of the #KOKOTÖNA crowdfunding campaign blurbs.
Now let's switch focus unto the seven imperial tribes that compose the Teotekah Empire and to the lands where they hail from.

By "hard to get into," I mean I've played in this setting—even written adventures and run games!"—every weak for over a year. 😅
I don't love robots. I never have.
I made a pact with myself—decades ago!—to never prioritize digital simulacra over animal life. I'm a biochauvinist!
This makes some scifi #TTRPG settings hard to get into, eg *Android: Shadow of the Beanstalk*, which has major themes of android "subjugation."

Playing in my first Eclipse Phase #TTRPG campaign and, I gotta tell ya, it's blowing my baseline conception of character morality out of the water.
Struggling like hell to fashion a meaningful motivation for my transhuman PC.

@skunkheart.bsky.social has skewered D&D—and #FitD, and... basically every #TTRPG I've ever run or played!—as "project management" games, ie "organizing a group to slay a monster" in this fascinating #BayCon panel on "Professional GMing".

Ticked off two bucket-list TTRPGs at #BayCon, yesterday:
✅ Delta Green (1997/2016), a Cthulhu meets X-Files horror investigation
✅ Firefly (2014), the Cortex "Plus" game based on the TV show.

Working on some Condition and Status cards for my #AvatarLegends campaign. I'm combining the #AtLA title font with ancient Chinese "Seal Script" characters. I'm very excited about the initial design, although I'd like to make the calligraphy more prominent.

I've tried my hand at #bookbinding for the first time, inspired by @munkao.bsky.social's work-in-progress "Kala Mandala"! I did a rough job, because I didn't want to be a perfectionist about I, and I'm really enjoying flipping through this with friends!

K, ran my THIRD #AvatarLegends session. There was some disagreement whether we were doing a one-shot with pregens, or starting a new campaign, so we kinda did both?
Also I arrived 2 hours late (due to unforseen circumstances).
So: it happened.

"Ran" another game of #Ironsworn, Monday. All I had to do was pull oracle cards and draw word pictures.
It's a bit hard to take seriously, though. I had a much easier time getting immersed in #PirateBorg.
