Flipping through Vault of the Drow, it feels like parsing through an inscrutable text. It's so dense. So foreign from modern day adventure design. A relic from a bygone age. How was this used to run a game?

What's the cover art that got you started in the #ttrpg hobby? When I was a kid my local comic shop had a shelf of Forgotten Realms novels. Once I pieced together there was a game associated with the novels I started down the path and haven't looked back.

One of these things will never be played.
One of these things is not like the others.
One of these things will end up a solo PC campaign.

Lastly, a few things I picked up at the show. Getting Pendragon to the table may take awhile but that Mothership mod could launch in the next few months if the star align.

PCs I played. Kept it simple and went with fighter types. The lore in Runequest really is next level! One PC lived and one died.

Games I ran! Dragonbane involved a scenario I'm playtesting. Received great insight and feedback! It's a big sandbox, I knew what the players were in for and got the BBEG to the table at the right moment but it could use advice in the introduction for how to run it.

#Breakoutcon has been a blast! Always impressed with how the show treats volunteer GMs and the rewards they offer as thanks. This year I picked up the Pendragon Starter set donated by @chaosium.bsky.social! Ending the con running The One Ring today! Wrapping up @breakoutcon.bsky.social on a high!

Journey map for my One Ring session @breakoutcon.bsky.social. It'll be nice to let the players physically take a copy and sketch out the direction they want to go at the table like the game suggests. #breakoutcon #ttrpg #theonering #freeleague

We like to drink in Ontario. Canadian producers and other countries will benefit. US alcohol producers just lost a billion dollar market. I'm no Ford fan but I love this move.

Hot damn, a gift from Krampus to torment, I mean entertain, my buddies with. What a beautifully designed rpg. It knows exactly what it is and what it wants to do at the table.

Wrapping The Sinking Tower module for Dragonbane this afternoon with my daughters group. If they find the pirate ship all bets are off where the adventure leads, otherwise it's time to ramp up the Horrors Under Skull Hill. They'll be getting an unmarked modified map based on this unfinished version.

Looking forward to digging into these #TTRPGs in the next few weeks. A couple of options for the new year once our current The One Ring campaign potentially wraps.

I resisted the siren song of the PHB, I'm content with the 2014 rules, but I'm a forever DM at heart and the word out on this book has me generally intrigued. Plus, the price was alright.
