You have gathered to revive someone recently deceased. Will the ritual be successful? What will you sacrifice? Lay the bones and find out in Come Out From Your Grave by Basil Wright, one of the amazing TTRPGs included in the Griot Anthology! #ttrpg

Soup drama, relationship drama: Road to Empress' success as a streaming game phenomenon tells us there's a lot of potential Hearts of Wulin lovers out there.
Hearts of Wulin is a parade of over-the-top feelings and action at the same time
I love a game where the best thing to do is also the worst one.

If the movie had been Emo Demon Hunters, we would have had "Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying" instead of "Takedown".

After listening to a lot of Brandi Carlisle and Angie K, I am convinced that country music should only be performed by lesbians from now on.

I just ran across this sentence in some #TTRPG campaign notes I wrote a while back:
"Various groups are trying to make some stupid metaplot shit happen."

I wish I could say I learned through this just through my own insight and wisdom, but the truth is I smashed myself against the rocks several times and had my need for expression and love for design outweigh that need for validation. But I have learned some things i can share...
As someone who is new in this space, I definitely struggle with searching for validation in TTRPGs. Obviously it's bad for my mental health, but any tips that helped you learn that lesson?

I love that there are so many different #TTRPGs right now but with the state of the world today, I can't get excited about a game that's gonna make me feel like I've been kicked in the ribs for an hour.
