Already tested negative for covid for my first test and no symptoms of anything else. Wearing a mask helps prevents more than just Covid.

Don’t want Con Crud? Wear a mask.

“How did you get into ttrpgs?”

Same as anyone: jumped in by a gang of satanists
"How did you get into ttrpgs?"

My father wrapped me in a blanket and we watched Batman: The Animated Series and Jackie Chan Adventures
“How did you get into ttrpgs?”

Using a pair of tiny silver scissors, I unpicked the hem and climbed inside, where I proceeded to refashion the various pieces until they became a comfortable nest for my own dreams, then I cut star-shaped holes to let my dreams fly. Sometimes there’s a flamethrower.

This was so fun to play on the floor at PAX! I would love to see more “all play” games like this at cons! My official score was 52
The Guess The TTRPG challenge I brought to PAX Unplugged is now available online! Can you identify one hundred tabletop RPGs featured on @partyofonepodcast.bsky.social?
There's also a link to a spreadsheet with links to every featured game! Have fun :D

For all of the wonders of virtual tabletops, I’m afraid nothing still beats hitting ‘em with the mini reveal when they walk in the boss room

tonight in my elfgame (IN PERSON EDITION): aeon-spanning cold open, dove in the hole, split the party(!), undid the source of a lotta trouble, sent a lich AND a dragon home, got cubed, slew six ways a character who was mostly an extended bit, and made a demon lord an offer he couldn't refuse!

I forget from whom, but I got the advice to make a badge of my pfp and it is phenomenally effective!
Next year at #PAXU I’m wearing and bringing some “Hi, my @ is…” stickers to share because I was pants at recognizing people’s faces, but their usernames clicked!

Apologies if I didn’t recognize you to your face and asked who you are. Especially if we’re mutuals here. ☺️

These four games were by far the hardest to identify during the #PAXU Guess the Game Challenge, with #60 and #90 going completely unsolved!
Can you recognize them? (no cheating! 😇)

I have determined that Pax U is for consorting with the absolute freakshow (/pos) that is the Philly rpg scene

Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?”

TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.”

ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

today in my elfgame: sacrificed a snowman for science, dueled with a sad but somewhat friendly demon, earned their boon, dropped wizard and druid in a slime pit in a makeshift submarine, evaded a crystal hand, captured a mutant monster also for science, learned its secrets, and immolated it

Playtested A Season Chang’d from the 5th episode of Gamestorm last night.

The bingo board felt revolutionary. Both in the ways it let players frame the arc they wanted for their knight and how it shaped play.

@scenefour.bsky.social and @ericabridgesphd.bsky.social were calling it new tech hahaha

In 2016, the Apocalypse World 2nd Ed campaign ended at $149,681. We'd like to beat that!

At $149,682, we'll get with the original authors and update three classic playbooks:
• The Faceless by Bret Gillan
• The News by Josh Savoie
• The Show by Elliot Baker
Apocalypse World: Burned Over
The 3rd edition of the groundbreaking original.

tonight in my forbidden lands FINALE: torched a hallway of demon flesh, met a weird elfin monkey baby, ganking a wizard, dunked a magic crown into a demon portal, got aged 30 years, got scared, cut off the demon-sorcerer's daughter fused to his body, got her to blow up her dad, and saved the realm

I know I couldn't be a woman because I, as a white beardo, explicitly stated in a video that I wasn't looking for and didn't need advice, and am sitting at dozens of comments giving it anyway and it's driving me mad

i knew it was a mistake to post about the dragon game but god the engagement i get is literally demonstrably worse when I do--not less engagement, WORSE engagement, from the most annoying people on earth

tonight in my 🔺game! chatted with godlike beings at a hot pot shop, laid cards on the table, gave the GM therapy, opined on the status quo, lasered a brainworm, got raided by cops and accused of murder/fraud, called in favors from JB Pritzker, a priest, a dog, and a cat, and rigged a slot machine

tonight in my elfgame: opened our brain to the world's psychic ooze pit, THREE separate expeditions into the massive slime drain; conscripted a pixie (gone but not forgotten) and sent the clone down twice, met a giant crystal hand and a horrific fleshmass, and took some notes on our observations

Apocalypse World is far and away my favorite game, period, and this new edition is *even better*.

today in my dragon game: overwhelmed a robot army, caught the interest of a roc while climbing a sheer cliff, saved a dwarf with bird calls and hoisting, nailed down our funeral plans, bear-baited a mutant with magical cancer, and found a pool with crystals in it--classic!

We've never played Apocalypse World on @friends-table.bsky.social, and yet I think it's pretty fair to say that the show (and a big part of my career) relies on its existence.

Couldn't be more excited for this new edition. And I already have multiple ideas around how we might play it...
