AVCX Classic @avcx.bsky.social · Sep 2
Last winter, AVCX ran a subscription drive to continue funding our expanded puzzle offerings. It worked great! We won’t need to do anything at that scale this year.

But we will run a mini-drive this fall to keep the old budget stable. So if you like what we do, please spread the word!

This is incidentally GREAT ttrpg advice.

If a char is having Their Moment and you feel your char doesn’t have anything to do, invest them in the other chars journeys for a while! Your moment will come too; if you check out during a game bc you’re not in the spotlight, it brings down the whole table

Actual Play tips from improv class:

You have to care about your scene partner. You don’t have to LOVE other characters. You do need a reason to interact with the people in your scene.
“But my character wouldn’t-“
Find a reason.
If you don’t want to be there, the audience won’t want to be there.
