THE CLOCK IS TICKING. #Dungeon23#TTRPG#OSR#DancingWithBulletsUnderaNeonSun
YMMV but I feel like the majority of campaigns I’ve been in have been relatively short, and all the more so as I’ve gotten older and everyone has extra claims on their time.
I find XP/Advancement stuff in so many TTRPGs looks very stingy now, as I calculate how many sessions it would take for the players to get to X point.
(If you like slow/er advancement that’s great! I’m not trying to tell you your fun is wrong)
My submission to the Spooky Starry Spring TTRPG Jam is done and dusted!
Station Trappings is a small space station generator that creates a themed station for you, complete with a layout and room descriptions, using a series of dice rolls. Its available here:
I need a better name for a concentration camp/experimental lab prison in a science fiction universe than "Camp Cordova". Any ideas? #ttrpg#Sciencefiction#Cyphersystem#space
In order to unseat D&D as market leader, a game would need to be highly salable (art, profitable, in shops), have extraordinary outreach (big streaming shows, etc), build cultural embedding (like after school clubs), and rules that better reflect its own actual usage at the table (arguably the easiest).
And then it'd need to keep doing all that for at least ten years, probably twenty, without a break.
@rivetgeek@LeviKornelsen Oh, it's definitely about diversifying and supporting stuff they like. For instance, they've released more board games (3) than #ttrpg books (1).
@cstross@rivetgeek Basic Role Playing - the Chaosium d100 percentile system seen in Call of Cthulhu, RuneQuest, Ringworld, and in an evolved form in Pendragon. It was released as a big generic #ttrpg quite some time ago and has recently been re-released. #BRP
Wouldn't it be sweet if every #TTRPG setting and character and system could be used with every setting and character and system in an enormous #RPG#multiverse?
So many systems already have multiverse settings (#GURPS, arguably #BRP, even #DnD if they still have that planar thing going on).
Groups could team up for one-offs in the shared intersection of their usual settings.
@deathanddrek@ttrpg@Chaosium Yeah! Another example is that early translation software used #Esperanto as an intermediate step between other languages. So why not game with the intermediate system instead, right?
I designed and 3D printed a collapsible, magnetically-suspended dice tower. I'm pretty proud of it and the magnetic snap makes it SUPER satisfying to use. 🤩
I'm a #brooklyn native, who works full time in the media space as an #Enterprisearchitect , which means I like exploring how things work together, and the people who use the tools we #sysadmin work so hard on.
It's easy to say "you should leave politics out of D&D" for people whose very existence hasn't been forcibly politicized. Even if I didn't play trans PCs, as a trans woman my very presence at the table is political. 1/4
The poster claimed to have "strong feelings" but apparently not strong enough to keep them from hanging out with a Republican regularly for a year. I couldn't feel comfortable doing that for 5 minutes because Republicans want people like me dead. 2/4
When you break bread with bigots, you show them that there are no social consequences for their bigotry. And you show marginalized people that you can't be trusted, because you care more about your social bonds with bigots than you do about the victims of that bigotry. 3/4
