Pharrels hook in "Ju$t" by Run the Jewels "...The 13th amendment said slavery's abolished (shiii) Look at all these slave masters posing on your dollar"

😬😁 ZERO worries if that's your thing! If you put some extra elbow grease into the flow of it, it could totally work. And you're starting with the "Cosmic Horror" buy-in, so that easily covers the "Why is this weird" 👍

The "Winchester House" reason is the suspension of disbelief Id need for it. If it's just a bunch of rooms the GM rolled on a random table, it loses the story and becomes House on Haunted Hill.

LEGIT OLIVIA BRINGS AN ENERGY TO GAMING AND CONTENT THAT I THINK WE NEED MORE OF. HIJINKS AND COMMANDER AT HOME ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS AND WHEN OLIVIAS LOSING HER ESS IN THE COLD OPEN, I KNOW ITS GOING TO BE A BANGER VIDEO.

For #wipwednesday I want to show off where my #ttrpg Action Delinquents is at. Instead of trying to be overly clever, I'm keeping focused on the core of the game: How do we tell cool stories as soon as possible. Building your character gets you a backstory at the same time as mechanics.

How "classes" are written in Action Delinquents

There's an angle for this vibe of #ttrpg cover, I'm not sure what it is 😮‍💨

#ttrpg #wip I'm really liking mechanics that also tell a story. Character choices for Action Delinquents also build the character description at the same time.

Working on traits characters can pick up in the TTRPG Action Delinquents.

Continuing my #ttrpg work on Action Delinquents.

Jobs and special abilities you can pick up in the TTRPG Action Delinquents.

Focus is a number of Focus Dice, D6s that influence the result of a check.

Job abilities continued. I'm still working on Chemist cause it's hard to figure out what story hooks tie to that.

Me "owing" anything to work went when pensions did. I'm not going to be grateful like work is some boomer parent trying to guilt me with tradition.

- 250 miles actual astronauts.
Not the point of the article, but that word astronaut is doing some lifting.

#ttrpg #selfpromosaturday reworking ADH&D, really trying to dial in how characters are built. I'm LOVING the "Your character powers give the game runner something to work with".

#ttrpg #wip for Action Delinquents. The irony continues as I try to keep adding new things that caught my attention instead of just making a clean game. Here's Jobs that characters can pick up, and what they add to the character:

Mmm... We're looking at a collection of things going right at the same time and trying to figure out what the catch is 🤨

#ttrpg #wipwednesday I want to do "Classless" abilities for Elder Earth, but how deep can the stack go before it's "I just took out the Metamagic kit"?

Examples of how "warlocks" work. The top right is requirements to get the technique, Italics are flavor.

Mood 😤 Your brain starts sounding like the mom from Carrie saying "They're all gonna laugh at you!" Just gotta give your brain some water, sunlight, or Tappy going gremlin mode around the professor videos 😁

#ttrpg #wip I'm revisiting an idea I started a while ago, using @gorangligovic.bsky.social s AMAZING art combined with Vagelio Kalvias background. I'm in the mood for a Vancian "Thundar the Barbarian" setting.

Same feeling here 🥰 Depending on how connected this boss is to the next one, you can up the prep of the next villain "... The way you all murderized my friend Bossman, it was clear we need a better class of criminal".
