Hi, I'm Chris. I'm 50+, a husband, father of a trans kid, and I play TTRPGs and RPG and Survival Craft video games. He/Him
Confession time. I love me a good City Builder video game, but I am just not good at them. Like, at all. #videogame #citybuilder

So, I just finished playing Fallout New Vegas for the first time, and I have to say: I do not understand why people think this was the best Fallout ever. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, I enjoyed it, but the best ever? I don't think so. #FONV #Fallout

RPG tip: Offer choices near the end of a session so you know what to prep next.

Reading on Trump's letter to Norway, and I find myself wondering what's worse, having a Fascist Dictator in the White House, or having an "Incompetent", idiot Fascist Dictator in the White House? Because, for fuck's sake, America!

I've run into that age old problem of GMing, where even though I am really enjoying the game I am currently running (Torg Eternity) I am already eyeballing my next game (currently leaning toward DCC). Why can't I stay focused on one game at a time? #TTRPG #DMproblems #foreverDM

At this point, I feel like Trump could walk up to a crowd of his followers, stab one of them in the heart, and that one would thank him for doing it, while the other's would applaud and laugh at how "triggered" the libs are by it.

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: Was the U.S. Capitol attacked on January 6, 2021?

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: *dodges*

Trump nominee: Well, individuals entered the Capitol.

Blumenthal: You are in fear—how will you have the courage to be fair and impartial?

Day 2 of the dice advent calendar is a nice pearlescent green d20. Keeping on theme with Christmas colors. Can't wait to see where this goes. #rpgdice #dice #ttrpg

My fantastic wife got me a dice advent calendar! Today's dice, a nice red d6. Hopefully, the first of a set. #rpgdice #dice #ttrpg

Played in a game of #Dolmenwood today. My first time with the system. It was a blast. My human friar, Brother Crump, nearly died twice, and the second time was nearly a TPK. But in the end, we brought two ghostly lovers together. Amazing time. #TTRPG

Confession time. Thanksgiving has become one of my least favorite holidays, because it's just really stressful for me, and I'm more thankful when it's over than I am during the day itself.

Okay, I tried, really hard, to keep up with Campaign 4. I did. But I realized that it was stressing me out to try and watch 5 hours every week, and I wasn't enjoying it all that much to boot. So, I just decided to give up. And I feel much better about that decision. #TTRPG #CriticalRole

Hot Take: The "Anti-Mariah Carey" memes are old and stale and I am sick of them.

Played some #D&D today, and had an absolute blast. Now, I just want to play more D&D. #TTRPG

Random #TTRPG campaign setting idea. We're watching Critical Role do a game where the setting is "What if the Gods were dead?" and Forgotten Realms did "What if the Gods became Mortals for a time?" How about a setting where the Gods were new? #D&D

RPG tip from the archive: You can run multiple battles for a split party simultanously by running one initiative order and jumping back and forth between the two scenes as the init order rolls out.

I've been thinking about something a lot lately. Ever since a member of my gaming group lamented not having the skills to do art (after showing them a picture I drew). Now, I realize he was talking specifically about drawing, but I think he also meant it more broadly. #ttrpg

Today was the final day of my #ForbiddenLands campaign. After nearly 2 years, it all came down the the final battle. After assaulting the city of Vond with an army of allies, the party made it to the fortress and started climbing the mountain. #TTRPG

Okay, coloring is done for my #ForbiddenLands party pic. I'm excited to give it to them today in celebration of our last session. #ttrpg

It's slow going, but I think it's coming out really nice.
