Monday morning bump for all those who, somehow, had something better to do over the weekend than hang around on social media
A huge, huge thanks to @evilgaz.bsky.social who invited me onto the UK's Premier RPG Podcast The Smart Party the other week, let me basically talk at him for about 2 & a half hours and then somehow edited my unfiltered stream of consciousness down to something that is actually listenable to

This time on Unconventional GMs we take on the twisted fairy tales of @theworldanvil.bsky.social Broken Tales. Can a rakish swordsman and dour judge ( @trvshane.bsky.social ) unearth the mystery of missing children - and how will they conduct themselves when lives are at stake?

Belatedly getting back to editing a podcast after a few weeks travelling and starting a new role and being reminded of 2000AD : America mentioned by @wyrdscience.bsky.social part way through. Could be time to look at it again and see how the graphic novel compares to current reality... 🙃

Second shout our for some Tier 2 #Daggertheart if you want to see what a game is like beyond starter characters. Although it's got #DnD style gaming to an extent, it's a much smoother and more enjoyable #ttrpg in my view. Give it a try!

You don't want to be in a noisy trade hall, or baking in an over-stuffed games room this Saturday, stay in your jimjams and enjoy some cosy #Daggerheart roleplaying. Come for Rocky the riding-Chameleon, stay for the ghost badgers!
Lots of #TTRPG folks off to #Dragonmeet - if you're not, consider banishing your FOMO with an hour and a half of top quality youtube content, as we return to @darringtonpress.bsky.social #Daggerheart - the Colossi of the Drylands await!

Tonight we finally got to Yule in The One Ring! My elf was wounded on each of the expeditions... And so the Company's Song of Victory is named The Doom of Belegond. Maybe his newly keen-bladed spear will save him next year?

I'm closing in on the end of a playthrough for my solo ttrpg, The Insensate Ones. Julian is a disaffected PhD grad who returns home to find... nothing has changed? Oh, except for a weird illness risen from the deep sea. That's new.

Is there a service for scenario creators where someone does all the fiddly bits you don't want to do at the end?
Writing scenarios for other people to run is like a reverse 80/20 where the bulk of it takes very little time, but that last bit is taking four times as long (and counting) 😂

Part of being a GM is like giving a Best Man's speech. You've responsibility for telling part of a tale, but it on the audience (players) to be filled with bonhomie and willing you to succeed and contributing with appropriate responses and good will. Games are more collaborative, but support your GM

I liked the new adaptation of Frankenstein, but then I do typically love a bit of Guillermo del Toro. Such a shame we didn't get a Mountains of Madness. It looks great, good performances, very gothic and extravagant, brimming with mood. Very characterful too.

Sharing again for the Monday crowd. Had a really fun game of Vileborn, which sits firmly in the "trindie" space of having lots of room for narrative and other indie game things, with meaningful trad mechanics which add flavour and make sense, without being onerous. Give it a watch!
This time on UGMs, we play through @horribleguild.bsky.social Vileborn, a nobledark game of young adults coming to terms with the darkness inside themselves in a grim fantasy world. Will the characters even make it through initiation? Let's play to find out! #ttrpg

Ah, Oblivion. I dig the first portion of the film, even if it's faintly ridiculous, the aesthetic and two main actors, silly sky base and other things do it for me. But then we get to the second segment and it goes completely off the rails. What other films start off great, but you wish were better?
