Friendly Local Game Store gone online to spread the love and joy of tabletop hobbies outside its hallowed halls. Join me here and in various other places to (re)kindle escapism, imagination, and camaraderie.
Been playing around with both PowerDirector to improve my various sound/image/video editing skills as well as Google's Gemini as I make little fun pieces for our upcoming @worldofdarkness.bsky.social #VampiretheMasquerade short story starting 9/30 and going through October set in #Cleveland.

Finishing our #AIart in #TTRPG and #VTT discussion. The learning journey concludes and I'll show off prompting and results. Let's talk use, ethics, and the lines in the sand that come with this. Conversation and exploration ahead! Plus surely I'll win the #Powerball right? 💸

Continuing the #AIart in #TTRPG games talk, Gemini's mixed results, #VTT presentations, and more. I'll be featuring a video I edited for my #Cleveland @worldofdarkness.bsky.social #Vampirethemasquerade characters and what you can do to show your players you are their biggest fan as a DM/GM/ST. 🥳

Discussing @geminiapp.bsky.social and how #AIart can be used in #TTRPG presentations, especially #VTTs. Is it good? Ethical? The future? Let's look at my personal learning curve and all the FRUSTRATIONS that can come with something that should be easy to use. 🪄

Tonight we make a Beat Chart as per the suggestion in the #Cyberpunk Red #TTRPG Core Book. How do you make a fun gig for your #edgerunners? Stop in to watch it happen before your very eyes (or equivalent)! Hopefully we do "Maximum Mike" at @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social proud. 🦾

Another night in the #Cyberpunk Red #workshop and we're going to make two characters using the #edgerunners technique. Last time was a Streetrat Fixer. Creation is easy and invocative using the system in this #TTRPG by @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social! 🤖

Tonight we advance from dipping our toes in the waters of the rules to - dare I say - getting ankle or even knee deep! It's another #Cyberpunk Red workshop and you're invited to learn what it's all about thematically and mechanically. Ready to Netrun? @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social and I think so! 🧠

OK so after last night you now know what #Cyberpunk Red is, isn't, and can be. Zero rules discussed because if you don't dig the fluff why discuss the crunch? If you're still on board with the themes and opportunities offered, let's take that bite! Compliments to Chef @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social 😚🤌

Now that we have a *checks notes* "nature-themed, epic-level, evil-aligned party" it looks like our next step is to create an #adventure setting and look at the party as a whole! This #DnD #workshop is gonna be fun! Stop by to listen or participate! #Death is natural...right? 💀

Looks like our #DnD party is taking a nature-themed twist with our randomized #characterdesign #workshop results from last night. Who will we meet tonight to finish the party and prompt a campaign writing exercise to follow? #Spring is in the air! 🌱

It's been a whirlwind month of computer building, office moving, shopping scams, and the arrival of spring! Tonight, we're going to do some laid-back #character creation in #DnD. Join us for the #workshop and a discussion about a new long-term game I'd like to run on stream! 📡

I'm getting a new motherboard tomorrow to continue the computer building stream. As it interrupts the week, I'll hold off on starting #Dragonlance again and spend time learning to loop ghosts better in #Phasmophobia. Stop by to learn and laugh with me. FREE GHOST HUGS! 🫥

Tabula Rasa part 2/3 "A Chantry Encounter" begins! Set in a dark reflection of #Cleveland #Ohio, the coterie is fretting over one of their members who is slowly losing herself to an entity inside of her. As she loses more of herself to this thing, a harsh possibility arises...😨

After finishing #Dragonlance but before tomorrow's comp building stream, I wanted to have some #Phasmophobia with phriends! Stop by for #ghost huntin', goofs, and feel free to ask questions if you want to learn! We can also talk #TTRPG stuff and maybe have a #mini #giveaway? 💀
