This is the thread for my professional #ttrpg campaigns on @startplaying.bsky.social. Below is my profile with some info about me (and my position on Nazi punching) and reviews from my players. If you have any questions, hit me up.

Professional Game Master - Eric The Social Justice GM | StartPlaying

I've been running games in every medium (tabletop, larp, and pbp) and system for 20+ years - and playing for more than 30. I have run a lot of games in a lot of systems. I have a special fondness for ...

It's not all he does. He also goes on racist tirades and suffers mini-strokes on tv.

🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂

So share some of my paintings??

In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices.

A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands.
The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention.

Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane.

Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury.

Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree.

A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

That's unfair. Having every strain of herpes gets you put on a public health registry - not the sex offender registry.

His moustache is on the sex offender registry.

Fun Note: You can get a sneak attack on anyone doing this. Not just GMs! An ex, an insurance ceo, that celebrity who you know is in love with you because they liked a post of yours once and whose every interview since has been about you no matter what the doctor says... anyone!

Bad DnD Advice
Rogues can get a sneak attack any time they surprise the GM. Hide in their homes hours before a game session and burst out of cupboards to rack up that sweet, sweet extra damage.

The Whispering Vault. It's from the 90s and it's about amoral once mortals hunting down rogue gods across time and space to take them back to the Whispering Vault. You are basically playing Hellraiser Cenobites in service to the Powers That Be and it's fucking cool as shit.

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

I've used similar ideas in the past and it makes for great spooky season gaming.

In this regard, I feel the obligation to talk about Settlers of A Dead God, an OSE indie RPG about bugs living on a giant human carcass. It's nasty, it's body horror, it's sizey, it's great for Halloween and it has fricking velvet worms as one of the playable races

A page from the Spanish version of Settlers of a Dead God, with the stats of an Earth Knight, the name this setting gives to velvelt worms. They function like explorers in the great carcass that works as the world of these bugs and use the Halfling stats from the Old School Essentials ruleset

I do not understand the popularity of Hades. The character art is painful, the game is easy, and there is no payoff. Oh I'm sorry. Zagreus having tea with his Mom is the (incredibly trite and boring) payoff.

Sorry. Someone tried to get me to play Hades earlier and I had to get this out of me.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.

"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Not only is she a player but so is Matt Mercer. Brennan Lee Mulligan is the GM for campaign 4. Episode 1 knocked it out of the park.

Eric_IAG @thesocialjusticegm.bsky.social · 2d

Her back and forth with Matt was a thing of beauty. She's fierce and he's playing such a sleazy asshat.
