I've been watching an embarrassing amount of Lord of the Rings reaction videos, and I love how every single time they're _completely_ crushed by Gandalf's death. #LotR

At the Lizzie No show with @sarakitty.bsky.social!

Decided to write down my thoughts on turning combat into a generic extended conflict resolution system: thecloudtender.com/2025/02/17/a.... I'm not entirely pleased with how it turned out, but I'm glad to have it written down. #ttrpg #ttrpgDesign

Played my first session of Mythic Bastionland today. I really enjoyed it! My character ability (I'm the Owl Knight) was fun and flavorful, and the quest we did (the mist) was a good time :) #ttrpg #nsr #MythicBastionland

I finally got around to playing OFF in preparation of the rerelease. Hoo boy, I can REALLY see how Undertale was created in dialogue with it! #offGame #off

My headcanon for #MyHouse.wad being easier on nightmare difficulty is that nightmares are easier to accept if you know that you're in one. I'm sure this is a cold take

A lot of designers, including myself, have been generalizing abstract extended conflict resolution to cover combat. I think I'm gonna go the other way, and generalize combat to cover any extended conflict. Will it work? Almost certainly not! But it's a fun space to explore. #ttrpg #ttrpgDesign

After years of wanting to run a high strangeness/UFOlogy campaign, I finally bit the bullet and started working on one for my first non-solo Unnamed playtest! Anyone got any fun inspiration they could link? It'll take place in Rumsey, KY in 1978. #ttrpg #highStrangeness #ufology #iWantToBelieve

Playing through myhouse.wad and it's a three-way race between my love of surreal dreamscapes, my inability to handle anything even remotely scary, and the fact that #Doom triggers my motion sickness worse than any other game I've ever played in my life.

Every time I think I have a great idea it's just the Fate Fractal or BW's levels of abstraction for rolls 😩

I've gotten almost no actual confirmation that anyone will participate in this. Regardless, I will start an itch.io jam for Black History Month inspired micro-rpgs later today/early tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Good!

Wow! I just checked my analytics on Itch and DriveThru, and Ikaros has been downloaded 799 times! Not bad for a game that started as a OneNote page titled "Unfucking Fate Combat." #ttrpg #indieTTRPG #IkarosRPG

I've removed the "untested" tag on my tarot initiative post, because I've been using it in my solo Dolmenwood game and it's been working well! I have no idea how well it teaches, though. #ttrpg #ttrpgDesign thecloudtender.com/2024/12/21/2...

I think this'll end well

Is @ipr.bsky.social down? I'm getting a 403 every time I try to access any page there.
