Game MONSTER Monday 🍉 🎃 @gamemastermonday.bsky.social · 2d

Ive been an almost day one-er with 5 GMs and I gotta tell ya, they are cooking with GAS right now

Adam is at the very top of their game as a GM, this ambitious concept flows smooth as hell, and if this is the FIRST guest episode HOOBOY I cannot wait to see how bonkers the later ones are

Bravo ❤️

There’s something so beautiful about these guest episodes bc they vary in tone WILDLY.

This one went 0-60-180 and kept going. It was the most unpredictable and nuts episode I’ve ever had to edit.

But hearing @adam5gms.bsky.social and our guests on their absolute A game was such a treat

This is one of the most bonkers experiences I've had on a guest spot, and the most fun - and to have it on one of my favourite shows, alongside some of my favourite folk to work with in the scene, was fantastic.

Go forth and listen to whatever chaos this is.

All these patriots hanging up the Union Jack on lamp posts are not only pathetic racists, they also seem to not understand their flag

80% of them are hung up upside down

Gallows Corner is the next game from Three Sails Studios after the success of Mappa Mundi, our debut release.

But what IS Gallows Corner? What is a Peasants' Revolt RPG? This week, you'll find out. Today, we're talking setting!

Hey @troopersjp.bsky.social, would love to reach out about a panel idea with Gnome Anne, but can't message on Bsky.

Could you message on Discord (samsighs) or email (email in my Carrd)?

Organising these I'm always conscious of the late night slot making it more difficult for folks on our side of the Atlantic to participate.

But, maybe something for future @euphoriaap.bsky.social content 👀

I'm very concerned about all the #GlobalSumudFlotilla detainees, but especially Hannah Schafer, who seems likely to be held in extended detention in Israel. Israeli armed forces have committed grave and multiple breaches of international law in attacking the flotilla and mistreating its crew.

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

But at the same time, I have appreciated taking my time with it.

The schedule is my own, and if it needs to change then it can change.

But my God, there are so many good stories I have to show off to the world, coming very soon.

I'm currently on holiday, and my body is so tired. Its great to get away for a bit.

When I get back, I'm taking another week off and then my workload is actually quite small.

As a result, I'm going to be editing the months and months of content I have lined up for Who Hurt You? and I cannot wait

My character in this Blades game is so fucked up that one of the other characters is actively becoming worried about him.

But then last night they helped him trap a snitches soul in a vessel, in an attempt to help him. Jokes on them, it's only made him worse.

God I love this game.

JC Darcy @jcdarcy.bsky.social · 5d

The absolute joy of Blades in the Dark is that one session early on, a player will roll a 4 and you need a complication so you create a crew member off the cuff who can betray them.
Then six sessions later they commit high crimes to murder him and then they have his soul trapped in a bottle.

Who would you like to hear talk about FOLKLORE in #ttrpg?

For our upcoming twitch panel, we're talking myth, legend & folk tales & folk traditions. Who should we invite to the table?

As always priority to PoC, & in the case specifically, to under-represented (or oft-misrepresented) traditions.

I hope you guys are ready for one of the most stressful episodes I’ve had to edit on pod.

I have no idea what happened in this episode but I'm pretty sure it's manic and fantastic.

This is what happens when @samsighs.bsky.social @masquewren.bsky.social and I do something other than cry.

I have no memory of this session, Michael took over my body and I became a deplorable hungover man for 90 minutes!

In all seriousness, a true delight to be part of this series and share this table with a wonderful GM and two of my favourite scene partners in this entire space

Also one player shot another by accident

Turns out I was probably too tired for that game last night 😅

What happened in your Daggerheart game last night, George?

Oh, not much. Fell in love with a green chimp (druid), frantically asked a bartender what chimps drink, drank a psychoactive sangria, and then fused my programming with the god of the Void.

Happy beach episode, @samsighs.bsky.social!
