(He/Him). Roleplaying stuff. Lefty. Thoroughly enjoyed 4e D&D. The Fog is one of the best horror movies ever made. Can't get enough Forged in the Dark and random indie #ttrpg. Also can't be making up a new profile at my time of life.

Hey folks I'm Raff, rarely Andy. I help create the best fest live roleplaying game in the UK. On BlueSky I post about #ttrpg, enthuse about crowd funding indies, whinge, and sometimes bang out some fanfiction. Not as funny or clever as I think. Will unironically like cat photos. Socialist-y I guess.

there is almost no feedback I will reflexively ignore as a game developer but “you shouldn’t name something X because people don’t know that word” is one of them. oh no! You might learn a new word! God forbid you take away a piece of knowledge from a game that’s not a brand of gun or some shit lol

there is a tabletop rpg I really enjoy called bluebeards bride and the setup is quite easy, all you will need is some six sided dice, a copy of the book, a free evening, and 5 men you want to irrevocably traumatize

These "are you a robot" tests are getting trickier and trickier.
If you follow more than 3000 people and still think we're going to have productive conversations, please give me your views on one of the following to help me decide:
1. Runequest ducks?
2. Favourite English Civil War faction.
3. Is Robespierre unfairly demonised?
4. UK Girls Comics of the 70s

To an extent. A significant amount of RPG theory has always been about avoiding Scylla by running full steam into Charybdis.

Littlest Drake just learned that we wrote a mech game and he was insistent that I run it for him. Which I had misgivings about...it centers teenage drama and the struggles of growing up. I should've learned by now that kids know that shit better than any of us.

#ttrpg pitch: you are moon beasts. Rugose, toadlike, no eyes, Wriggly pink nose tentacles. Your visage can drive men mad. Together, you've opened a bakery in a small town to pursue a shared love of pastries and sweets. Broad-brimmed hats and fake moustaches can only cover so much moonbeast -

They are superhumanly strong and noxious-smelling, having no eyes but instead a mass of pink tentacles at the end of their snout. Moonbeasts are also said to like the films of Richard Curtis, projected on the sails of their black ships but without any soundtrack.

Do not sleep on TROIKA! #ttrpg. I've run great short-shots with it, including highlights like: butchering clangers, the sinisterest immortal paper-skinned librarian undead, my mates just absolutely terrifying a painter while trying to get on his good side, and the least earned deep blue tree joke.

Fucks sake. If the BBC had any journalistic integrity left they'd drop the "trans" and just have the honest "people to be forced to explain why they don't look sexy/manly enough" headline.
I'm not trying to minimize trans hate going on here, but for fucks sake. It's not rocket science.

Magical Land of Yeld 2e #ttrpg. Read and enjoyed the 1e while prebbilg Fabula Ultima. Cross between DIE, D&D the cartoon, Legend of Zelda, and probably a bunch of isekai (sp?) I am too cool to have read. Kids in a magical JRPG-style land hunting keys and trying not to become monsters. Worth a look.
