30 Days of Video Games Day 20: Easiest Final Boss Resident Evil 2 and 3 both have final forms for their bosses who are so much weaker than anything you have fought up to that point

sadly this has to be postponed due to technical difficulties - gonna have to wait a little longer for my shadowdark fix (still at least my torch will last that bit more ...)

Delighted to be involved in this as a stretch goal!♥️⭐Keep your eyes peeled on the @wairpodcast.bsky.social socials for an annoucement later this week for some actual play excitement!

Recording episode one of a new mini series I'm starting with an incredible group of players. Really excited for all the Fey chaos that is coming 😍🤩😍

Our next issue comes out at the end of June, and I would love to review more small press and indie ttrpgs. Message me here or email me.

30 Days of Video Games Day 19: Favourite Mechanic I'm a sucker for any game that allows the protagonist(s) to glide across the land. See Nier: Automata, Haven, Expedition 33, Atlas Fallen, Journey ...

30 Days of Video Games - Day 19: Worst Mini Game Yep, missed this yesterday. My bad. Generally any part of a video game where there is a sudden shift - a platforming section in what otherwise is a FPS; a stealth section in a non stealth game (particularly if you are in a vehicle); an example 1/

30 Days of Video Games Day 17: Favourite Cinematic In Game - I'm going to go with the opening to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. It sets the scene perfectly for what I'm sure is many people's first visit to Nosgoth. And Ozar Midrashim is a masterpiece of a music track 1/

London, the Victorian era. Nightmares roam the streets at night, and it is up to a small group of mysterious monster hunters, each with their own shadowy past, to stop them. The Between. This July on StarCrawlRPG. Casting form: https://forms.gle/LBcHkrbYhmQzGHyS8 #ttrpg #actualplay #castingcall

30 Days of Video Games Day 16 - Best Plot Twist So, no spoilers on this one (other than every time a game is mentioned, it spoils that there is a plot twist ...) But I'm going to go with Braid

30 Days of Video Games Challenge Day 15 - Overrated Game Okays, this one is tricky as it's a very much subjective and could change. However, if I had to pin down to one game for the purposes of a post, I'm going to pick Resident Evil 7. I'm a fan of the series right back to the beginning but 1/

Rebirth Of The Graven King continues on Thursday and the party have reached the inner sanctum of Shazasthar. But he has seen them coming and the orders of The Son Of The Graven King are that nobody leaves this place alive. www.twitch.tv/emerald_coll... youtu.be/et7Av0t6CGo?...

30 Days of Video Games Challenge Day 14: Favourite Class or Fighting Style This tends to depend on what the game is but I normally lean to the support option and occasionally the tank. I'm generally not the sharpshooter in video games for sure!

To all my fellow TTRPG publishing folks (or creators of all kinds, really), make sure you avail of this *phenomenal* deal while you have the chance. Unlimited commercial use of over $18,000 worth of fonts for under $20? Insane! You've got until Sunday to snag 'em!

Day 13: Best Voice Acting So many choices! Honestly it's hard to pick out games with bad voice acting (or I just don't play enough ...). But to pick a couple of recent examples Lamplighter's League. And of course Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Here is some of my character art from the Daggerheart stream over @emeraldcollective.bsky.social Game is currently 3 episodes in with a planned 3 more to go. Streaming on their Twitch channel every second Sunday. Next instalment is on Sunday 25th May.

Day 12: Most annoying character Well, for me, it'll be this little whiner. 9S. He isn't too bad in the prologue but as the story continues, woo boy. His best move was falling into the crevasse at the end of the second act ... (also every short character in multiplayer shooters ...)

Sharing for visibility

Creating a TTRPG that fits your audience can be hard! Check out my book, Making a Tabletop RPG for YOUR Particular Kid to see how to align your story, characters, mechanics, and more with your players to make it special for those playing your creation: ttrpgkids.itch.io/making-a-tab...

Day 11: Comfort Game This was a little tricky - if it's not a game that I'm currently playing then generally I'll watch react videos or clip compilations. But if I had to pick an actual video game then it would be either Defense Grid 2 or Plants Vs Zombies (the original before EA arrived ...)

Your worth is not tied to your health. Your worth is not tied to your job. Your worth is not tied to your ability to produce for capitalism. You’re not lazy, less than or expendable just because you’re disabled. Everyone will end up disabled eventually. We all need compassion, care & support.

Day 10 - Underrated game. I shall continue to champion Split/Second: Velocity as a driving game that just did not get it's chance

Our Daggerheart mini campaign with GM Wayne continues on Sunday. Parad0x, Lanafir and Ramble are preparing to go on a perilous expedition that will determine the very future of Horizons Hollow. But what kind of trouble has found Dog & Jaymz? www.twitch.tv/emerald_coll... youtu.be/7VFi8DAi-xA?...

I'm in this. And I didn't have a cold when I recorded these lines so I had to actually work to make my voice gravelly (obviously by eating gravel).

So 40+ hours later, we roll credits. This game is so lovely - definitely worth playing. I would suggest that you avoiding level up much beyond the levels of my party here before completing the story as much higher the end level would have been a cakewalk. The red beret brigade ...

Day 9: Favourite Antagonist - Well, I'm going to with the Joker from the Arkhamverse here ... Mark Hamil portrays him so well

We delivered PDF copies of MAPPA MUNDI - AN EXPLORATION + ECOLOGY RPG to our Kickstarter backers today! Exciting! Do you know what that means? That's right! You can now buy PDF copies of Mappa Mundi on DriveThruRPG! Check it out here: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

I totally forgot to mention this but you can grab copies of Classified! A Solo Journaling RPG over at Booth TT63: Pandemonium Books and Games at #PAXEast this weekend! If you pick up a copy, I'd love to see pics so I can live vicariously through you! Thanks Luna! 😍

Day 8 - favourite protagonist. While I've been pondering whether to go with Regina, 2B or Jessie, I'm going to cheat slightly and go with Yu and Kay from Haven. A wonderful relationship plus they can glide across the landscape!
