Horror is on the menu tonight, with guest GM Scott Dorward taking us through Dead of Night by Andrew Kenrick - who is also a guest player! Tasha from idearoll joins us too, for a stellar cast of hapless actors on the world stage... or are we?

Wild west shadow of the colossus is like a #TTRPG setting entirely made with me in mind, so naturally we had to record a #OneShot #ActualPlay of @darringtonpress.bsky.social Colossus of the Drylands for #Daggerheart - check it out! youtu.be/u8E3MQlH86U?...

HUGE news for TTRPG players - researchers have developed a technique to make anything into fair dice. What's more, you can make exotic combinations like a single die that rolls the equivalent of 2d6. I would love a honking great 8d6 for D&D fireball damage... www.newscientist.com/article/2482...

You can make fair dice from any shape you like

Want to roll an armadillo when you play Dungeons & Dragons, instead of standard dice? Now you can, thanks to a technique for mapping the probabilities produced by any shape

An interesting thought. I only went so far that it would create room for a job named tv-barber... But yes, probably it would

That sounds amazing. While I was telling this to my partner I had the idea that there was also a refrigerator that was fleshy on the inside and had arms and a toilet seat with a large tongue but this has been done i guess.

I dreamt tonight that there was a television set that had short translucent hairs instead of a screen and you had to cut the hair once in a while.
I should make a scenario around this...

I am happy to have played it even though it meant not being able to sign up for the same game run by lovely mr spike at chaosium-con.

Missing @chaosium.bsky.social con UK? Not getting your #TTRPG #Cthulhu fix? Check out our tight 1 hour #ActualPlay of The Necropolis - will our investigators survive?

This was my first experience with 11-13 which was highly enjoyable even though we had no clue how to play. I still have the character sheet for my first character and I can confirm that I was a filthy power builder....

It's #selfpromosaturday and #Daggerheart is out, so time to remind everyone of when we ran the Beta some months ago! Keep your Perception Rolls peeled for a new episode in the near future 😁🗡️❤️

Not so much the characters but the games I'm running. Best one is still the one for dogside dogs.

Yeah, I have to throw the Kickstarter app from my phone again. It's a massive money sink.

Also somehow someone seems to know when i am on vacation and plot to deliver packages specifically when i am not home for an extended period.

If you want to replace old, crunchy systems with it try some shadowrun in questworlds 😛. (To be fair i still have to check out the new rules. My knowledge is still V2, maybe they cut down the crunch)

Hey, I gm multiple campaigns for my home group and try to always get new people to experience different games. Mostly call of cthulhu but also other stuff. I am in the phase of publishing my first scenario and you might find me running games in conventions.
