bought this board game called ‘retake company’, ultralight and in the genre of playing cards simultaneously, i like the theming and the design is so nice…

it’s a food themed game so the booth was… very aggressively chef themed? and french? this was hilarious

okay a 3d dice chess ey game is sick, the dice move up and down the layers and the mechanic of resolving ‘combat’ between the dice is really cool

1000 yen for a handful of dice!! there were a lot of weird and random dice in there so i went for it and i got a lot of cool dice (i’ll take pictures of them when i get back)

insightful reflection on the nature of the spaces we had and the space we have now online

the second game i ran this weekend was Thieves of the Tome by @dairykillsme.bsky.social ! i love the concept so much and it delivers on exactly what it promises, the taking of the actual books and making spells from them is structured super well and the gm prep tools were exactly enough

over the weekend i facilitated Follow by ben robbins for the first time and it was a lot of fun! the format makes for great scenes with zero prep and i like how it works in many genres and modes

got the demo version of dragon reactor to the table today! i had a lot of fun with this one, very much looking forward to reading the full game when it’s out

absolutely terrifying roll

one of my players designed and printed this dial for ironsworn (we’re playing sundered isles) and it’s so convenient and satisfying to use

we had a great time this session with lots of exciting rolls

revisiting FIST and i'm obsessed with this mission writing advice about loops - makes me think about how loops were a big deal in games feeling more realistic like in FEAR or Skyrim

extremely poignant edit on a reddit post

this account is going to see some chuubo’s posting for a bit - this rule both makes a lot of sense (i think from what i understand now) and it’s fun to think about

ran a oneshot tonight of blades with a bunch of the rules and setting details from deep cuts! i really enjoyed the new Threat Roll, as a gm everything flowed so much smoother and i liked the framing of go ‘here’s what could go wrong, let’s find out’

there seemed to be a lot of interest in the dungeon game for 4-100 that was sold at game market yesterday “minna de dungeon” so i’m planning to read that first and write a blog post about it there’s a demo version of it on their official site too if you can japanese yuugakugei.com/download/min...

these coins were 2000yen for 50 and i couldn’t resist. immediately thought ‘i can use these for netrunner’ even though im not playing netrunner irl right now

i really like this spinning dice that’s a d2,3,4,5,6,8,10,12,20,100 and works by you stopping it with a finger and reading the closest number to the left side of the tip of finger (so in the video that would be a result of a 1)
