I play many ttrpgs but mostly #dnd - started long time ago when AD&D (1e) was the current version. Also play a lot of boardgames.

Next week Tuesday my #Dragonlance group will, after almost exactly 3 years of irregular sessions, finish their campaign.
Let's hope that bard Will Treaty, druid Vasuki, paladin Iraokas, and their pal Gunther the ranger, prevail!

Played "The Quacks of Quedlinburg" for the first time last night. I started average, but the second game I won - barely - because of 3 points gained from saved rubies

Yesterday, my "Family Matters" group had the last #dnd session of the year. For reasons, the next session with the entire party will be in February, probably.
I was so proud of how it went. There were big in-character conversations, and the players told me they really like the world and the story.

This weekend, Sinterklaas—the saint that brings presents to Dutch children of all ages on/around 5 December—brought me a nice new dm screen.

My D&D party did not achieve much tangible results yesterday, but they learned a lot:
- some npc's lie and cheat
- some mysteries are too dangerous, for now
- "run away to fight another day" is a solid tactical solution
- if you don't act on things you were hired to do, someone else may step in

My "Family Matters" d&d group is planning to go into a forest that nobody ever returns from - they have been warned multiple times.
I think that at some time, I will need to remind them that there is no shame in "running for your life".
I will be using a beautiful animated map by @angelamaps.com .

The rocket in the current season of 9-1-1 is called Inara 2
Is that a reference to Firefly's Inara ? I like to think so!

I would really love to see TTRPGs also released as an epub so I can read it on my phone in dark mode when I'm curled up from a migraine.
Most TTRPG pdfs aren't easily viewed on phones, and it's an accessibility issue rarely discussed. And there are more applications for epubs than my migraine days.

In fact I might write something on this, so if people could share for a decent sample size:
If you are a D&D player, how would you feel if your most recent character died in a random encounter?
Also which edition of the game are you currently playing?
Thanks for your help.

There's an r/dnd post begging DMs to threaten their PCs with death because otherwise Hp and defence have no purpose, and it rubbed me the wrong way.
Learn to threten your PCs in different ways, but more than that learn that a 1Hp+ character has narrative power and a 0Hp character does not.

I'm so lucky to be in three #ttrpg groups. Each brings different things I like.
Tonight's group is all family–most are experiencing their first campaign ever. Their questions bring me so much inspiration for world building, I love it. And they like it, too!

Last Thursday in our 'Family Matters' #dnd campaign, two characters—siblings—had a flashback session, set 11 years ago. The two are the only ones native to this world & time.
I revealed some world lore, and family history was written. The players want more of this - so, it was great!
