My "hot" #ttrpg take: Stop gatekeeping. Let people like what they like, and especially be welcoming to folks new to the hobby, regardless of what game they play. Love [game]? Cool. Hate [game]? Okay. Don't yuck someone else's yum.

I feel like Pathfinder/Starfinder, i.e., Paizo, has achieved close to that same level of non-indieness (a word as of now. Haha), maybe?

THE FLESH KING will be out this Tuesday! It continues Ford, Neuland, and Tilda's story back home in New York, where they are blackmailed into hunting down an immortal killer. Also, my cat says please buy it because we're out of chicken and chicken is life. 😿

Re: Free League. It's great that they have gotten some incredible IPs to make games from, but they also have their own IPs (e.g., Vaesen). Most important is the quality of the products they release coupled with price points that are very approachable, especially for their starter sets.

WotC/Hasbro has certainly done a lot of "not great" stuff, especially in recent years, but they also do stuff like this. #mtg #tcg #transrightsarehumanrights

TTRPG Question of the Day

Do you ever consider the mental & emotional impact violence has on your PC?

In many TTRPGs violence is a given. Sections of the rules cover combat but what about it's other effects. Does your character sleep soundly or have nightmares? Do they compartmentalize to deal?

ZH? Zweihander? I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it.

I’m trying to figure out a way to do exactly this for a con using two different (but compatible) games!

Got this in the mail today, and found a favorite passage pretty quickly. #ttrpg #rpg #book @jeffashworth.bsky.social

A book called "Everything I Need to Know I Learned From RPGs."

A Bible quote talking about expensive books.

Thank you! 🙂

Echoing that here. I started with VtM with 1st edition in 1991, and stopped with 20th Anniversary. No interest in CoD or any NWoD stuff, or in 5th edition.

You're not wrong at all, but with my work schedule, December was the best option. 🥴

GURPS: the Gathering.

D'Arcangel Productions @darcangelprod.bsky.social · 12d

WotC/Hasbro really has just diluted the MtG brand so much that it's become absolutely generic now. It's the GURPS of tcgs.

D'Arcangel Productions @darcangelprod.bsky.social · 12d

Me: Sets up in person #D&D group to start in December. One of the players today: I'm going to have to drop out.🤦‍♂️

At least I found out now. 🤷‍♂️

This is the real question, right here.

That's awesome. 😄 Definitely going to share that.
