Venetian Snares showed me how to beat match using the “high school gym class beep test” record vs the Beegees while chain smoking Czech cigarettes
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

I feel so heinously targeted lol

Ask me about my 0-player games and ones that actively mock the players
in order to network in the ttrpg scene, you must:

- accept that you are not everyone's cup of tea
- reinvent a mechanic from first principles
- make games that drive 10-30 other designers mad
- speak with the confidence of someone who thinks very long and hard about how to play pretend more good

After a long time on the shelf I finally got Red Dust Rebellion back to the table. #wargames
I got crushed but dammit, *I was so efficient* tonight!
The Skycrane app for handling non-player factions in a solo game is a huuuuge quality of life boost. It’s also great for handling card and turn rules.

Heretical opinion: Super Mario RPG was perfect
SUPER MARIO RPG
SQUARE 1996

Non-exhaustive list:

MonsterHearts 2E - Avery Alder for social-drama-first
PSI*RUN - Meguey Baker, for collab action
The Wretched - Chris Bissette, or an immersive journalling game
Mausritter - Isaac Williams, I wanted to pick an ODDlike to show how Old D&D can become something totally different
If you wanted to run say, four different games that weren't Dungeons & Dragons in hopes of showing people the breadth of the TTRPG hobby, what games would you run for them? Assume that they are sort of familiar with 5E.
