That Faux King Guy

LOLZ kitty timeline cleanse!

The finished piece from Thomas, @chronopunk.bsky.social gives me grief over not enough missiles, but I don't think 70s robots got there like Macross swarms.

New wotk from @jacobblackmon.bsky.social wearing our influences on our sleeve this week.

Giant robot vs kaiju, from a new to us artist Thomas Peterson

After wiping out a huge part of the party's magic with a mages disjunction, the players suggested I might never do that again. The rogue lost 100k worth of items. 20 years later an AP I was running called for it, luckily someone counterspelled it.

Give them THE toys every kid wants. Mighty Thor Starter Kit, giant belt, ogre Gauntlets and hammer of thunderbolts. Everyone made a case why their character could use it. The clerics take when not casting could throw it for 4d6. The front liner got it in the end to swing twice per round.

One thing, I've run as a ruthless capitalist treasure keeper with share including item picks as a player, and run as GM over positively socialist player treasure distribution and never say anything as GM when treasure distribution evolves out of the character personalities organically.

Scifi still scarcity society with communism as an RPG, players appear on a game show to compete against other adventurers for new equipment as they level. If you need it more than the other guy, prove it.

I believe players used to roll off for treasure, when an item came up that more than one player wanted. I believe we did this at the table before MMOs created a similar rollover mechanic.

How do you split treasure in your games, everything equal shares as a portion of the total, do magic class items count against share? Does everyone pick an item and sell the rest and split the proceeds? Does the party fund pay for healing before the split?

Some wind down stuff for fun. Recently played DOOM TDA, inspired me to do some hefty sci fi gun stuff, type you would see in a good ol old school FPS. P.S. 'Gun people', i know its stupid and wouldn't work, i dont care, its for fun, chill out.

And to make those inferior goods, forcing longer hours and commutes instead of work from home on a self-determined schedule. The stockingers could produce their whole contracted weekly commitment in about 35 hours a week, often in 3 12 hour days. The owners wanted 6 12 hour days a week.

While we're at it, have some Starfinder 2e Alien Core previews!!! Whale! Whale! Whale! Whale! Whale!

@mattsmaps.bsky.social is working on crew quarters for me, I've asked for one of the round tops to be a dejarik table, anything else you think blue crew would get up to?

Games UX Research Tip: Perception is both bottom up (driven by stimuli in the world) and top down (driven by player cognition) The upshot of this, when combined with the scanning nature of vision, what players see can be more about what they expect to see than what is actually shown to them

@mattsmaps.bsky.social hit me up this week with a work in progress, does anyone remember flushing credsticks out of the trash compactor for Raithe, or D3 asking about missing Dianoga eggs?

Rick's family could use some help, some publishers got together and contributed to this bundle to do just that. Please help if you can, like, share, and all the rest if you can't. @drivethrurpg.com www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Nice to see Shield Maidens get a shout out.

I love finishing a TTRPG project and thinking, "Wow, this is the best thing I have ever made!" and then doing it again and again with each successive release. Keep making stuff; you're improving more than you know.

For Lego SW Vacation fans, @mattsmaps.bsky.social just sent me a WIP preview of the Sun Room, the climate simulator suns may be virtual but the burn is real....
