Let's play Nobilis!

Our campaign is a cosy bakery TTRPG that Quinns derails by throwing a Big White Book at it.... Or something

The new season of my actual play show where we play old rpgs from history BEGINS!

Here at the start of the season I mostly hold it together as the GM. Later, you can practically hear the steam coming out of my ears. Podcast links are in the video description!

I'm not a natural risk taker and I struggle to keep at something when my progress isnt linear. But that never stopped Ruby "Rubix" Richards. So I let her take those bits for me.

Does anyone else get this? Like for a little while you ARE your character, and you can kind of call them back up in times of need? Like a past life?

TTRPGs are wild with how they stay with you. I'm learning skateboarding rn and @unusualcadence.co.uk chants "the grit, the grit, the grit" when I'm struggling, or making hard progress, in reference to my character from our Slugblaster campaign with @itsquinns.bsky.social a few years ago.

Slugblaster Season of @manysidedmedia.bsky.social how dare you be this good I HATE you all so much. AP of the year I stfg

a colorful illustration of some technicolor teens skateboarding on some fantastical scaffolding surrounded by imaginary dinosaur like creatures. The image and font feel very 90's cartoon, and the text says Slugblaster mixtape by my first dungeon

This was a whole bunch of fun - and also like high energy panic as we try to leash cartoon connoisseur Rob and stop him just GMing the whole damn thing

This series of episodes of Toon in particular has some deep belly laughs, is super accessible and has great production as always!

I was going to post a screencap of my initial notes from my listen to the first pass, but most of them lift off into meta or are spoilers…

Two bullet points from a list
- as you know, it’s fun when you suffer
- Emily‘s IRL knowledge base being revealed and deployed his novel, and of course personally delightful to me specifically

Episode 2! In which Rob and I buy a lot of drinks, chance a lot of etiquette rolls, and argue with @itsquinns.bsky.social about Jorune terminology.

Oh and the reason for our Episode 1 amnesia is revealed....

Quinns @itsquinns.bsky.social · Apr 3
