Contemplating the design of a John Malkovich #ttrpg.

There’s no character creation. Everybody plays John Malkovich.

Why is “pan handler” not a synonym for “chef”?

There are 340 MILLION OF US.

Don’t you dare get despondent.

STAND UP.

And go GET YOUR COUNTRY BACK.

Please.

Let us not cower. This is all absolutely ridiculous.

Come on now.

The #ttrpg catchphrase “rulings over rules” bugs me. It’s not wrong, it’s beside the point. GMs make rulings when rules are absent or poor because we’re at a tabletop not a computer. Designers must still ask 1) what rules are needed and 2) how to make ‘em good enough not to need over-ruling. #ttisg

Thanks to the new custom multi-player ship construction, I'm playing No Man's Sky again.

Not only that, but you can walk up the ship's entry ramp, walk around inside, fly to other planets, get up & walk around while it's flying, land & walk back down the ramp onto the surface.

Cool.

There is an important difference. If you say "Under Republican control, Congress has been ineffectual..." it provides a basis for voting Republicans out. If you merely say "Congress has been ineffectual..." it implies "they're all crooks!" and encourages people to opt out of voting.

Manda @talzhemir.bsky.social is playtesting Lost Age, her sequel to our Paleolithic #ttrpg Cavemaster. Here are two ‘character tablets’ from tonight’s game. We’re using a diced variant of the Cavemaster “Habilis system”. I’ve tried to draw pictures in the style of Copper Age sites like Gobekli Tepe.

CAVEMASTER is my award-winning Paleolithic ‘stone-punk’ game. Using stones instead of dice, it’s the TTRPG that cave-men could have played! #ttrpg

There’s a school of thought which argues that a role-playing game’s mechanics should reflect or evoke its genre. I don’t agree that it’s always necessary — a good GM a…

My partner @talzhemir.bsky.social began playtesting her sequel to Cavemaster called "The Lost Age". Set in the Chalcolithic era (post cavemen, pre Homeric Greece). Towns & copper tools, but no writing. Adding a bit of civilization to Cavemaster changes the whole game! #cavemaster #lostage #unigames

I now have ALMOST 1200 followers here on BlueSky.

But as they say, ‘almost’ doesn’t count except in horseshoes and hand grenades :/

I like square grids for dungeons (& large building interiors), and hex grids for wilderness. For city maps, whichever grid type best handles the particular city’s layout. Interested in hearing other opinions. #ttrpg #ttisg

After a 3 year break, I’m returning my attention to #tekumel. First up will be a re-release of #bethorm, my own #ttisg set in the world of Tékumel. With a few typo corrections, a refined initiative system, and a disclaimer about the despicable MAR Barker. bethorm.com

Spoiler-free-ish Superman reaction:

I had trouble with Gunn’s changes, like Superman’s taste in music 😉

But finally showing him in world full of superheroes was a BIG plus.

Verdict: best Superman film ever.

But NOT the best I can imagine. Because I now see potential I never saw before. 5 stars.
