Some Place to Be is an actual play podcast dedicated to exploring how mechanics inform character and celebrating games by indie designers. Featuring an all queer cast of rotating GMs, we take the same characters and story into different TTRPGs each season.

I missed the #FatTRewind #art tag but I loved scrolling through and wanted to add to it with a couple more Hieron things from back when it was coming out

an old comic of Lem and Emmanuel from friends at the table.
Emmanuel: Lem, you came to a baker to ask about a cursed sword hilt?
Lem: (leaning in) well, you're a ghost, and I like you very much
Emmanuel: (putting a hand over Lem's, TENDERLY) if you want to spend time with me, you just come see me
(Lem looks down...)
Lem: Can you also please check out this cursed sword

I drew this 6 years ago but to my memory, this is a drawing of Samol sitting on the roof of a new orleans-looking illuminated house as a water reflecting the stars engulfs it. Below the wave, Hadrian looks up at a strange-perspective walled town on a hill inside Aubade

I'm enjoying new (?) Friends at the table season Perpetua a lot, surprisingly my faves might be Veile and Elena, especially together, they are both girl failures in their own unique ways!

pencil and paper drawing of vic(?) sp2b face down in a pillow with their eyes rolled back, gripping sheets as yanna(?) sp2b stands behind, with her shirt undone. she has a worried look on her face and is asking "was that too much?"

Are you a BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ TTRPG game designer? Do you have a new game/kickstarter launching soon? Would you like to be featured on "BUT WHY?" our TTRPG talk show where we
1. interview a game designer
2. play a one-shot with their game/setting
3. have chill fun vibes?

If this is you, DM us!

it's always like

>TTRPG creators complain that TTRPG journalists don't cover small games

>TTRPG journalists say their job is to report the news not be advertisers

>”the news” is always at least two headlines for every D&D book or whatever movie-budget D&D actual play podcast is coming out next

Folks now is a time to have your voice heard on whether you'd like to see Maeve × Victoria or Maeve × Victor or Milo × Veronica or something else?? the most as part of Cassidy's current art series 👀

I find myself really disliking La'an simply because the premise of the Gorn stuff just sucks so bad

Siobhan @spellboundmage.bsky.social · 1d

I'm continuing my rewatch of season 1 of Strange New Worlds and its getting better. I just really don't like the whole "the gorn are evil animalistic monsters but they're geniuses" thing which is why I started this thread.

So I've been working on my ttrpg hack but I'm stuck at a certain part, how often do ttrpg designers play their WIPs to get inspired to write new mechanics

Masking at conventions makes so much sense I don't know why we don't all do it. The chances of getting get sick at a con are so high we have a cute little name for it: "con crud." That its easy to get COVID at cons should come as no surprise. Why would you not want to protect yourself and others?

Some Place to Be season 3 is about a bunch of messy pan and bi characters in orbit with a lesbian who is tired of their bs
