I fired up Bricklink and made a #Mecha, then imported it to blender. My #TTRPG project could use some tokens. I imported it into blender because I want to add armature, and make it poseable, and maybe play with rendering styles but I'm getting hungry What time is it? 😯 #lego #MOC

GM Tip: Describe senses other than sight. Smells, sounds, temperature, and textures deepen immersion far more effectively than visuals alone. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Imagine meeting your deity and learning they are a fleshy meat potato 🤔 no wonder it's heresy to make depictions of the Gods #TTRPG

Question for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilders out there; What's something you believe more GMs and Players should keep in mind? Mine is simple; Players, sometimes, you should let your characters be helpless or vulnerable. GMs, don't be too attached to a story you have in mind. #TTRPG

Here's an early ttrpg question. What elements in a ttrpg help or you need to make good teamwork mechanics within that game system? #ttrpg

Another evening stolen by Expedition 33 One moment you're thinking I might be too high level for this area… I'm ending fights before they get a turn Then hidden boss TPK

Has anyone done TTRPG yet where you are like, not a person, but like, a country? Like a whole ass country. With stats and attributes and skills and shit.

Making Last Transmissions was my way of exploring how meaningful choices can be even when we know the ending. Every time someone shares their station's final moments with me, I'm reminded why I love this hobby so much. #TTRPG #SoloRPG solsroles.itch.io/la...

This definitely applies to #TTRPG, #OSR is a rejection of D&D having too much, and D&D failure to effectively use the rules it has Some PbtA also suffer from having too much

After eating the pickled eggs I realized I had too many carrots Pickled baby carrots is definitely a choice. They've been in there for a month and are still crunchy #odd #food

#FabulaUltima #TTRPG campaign pitch Everyone knows you spend your unlife eternity in a necropolis attending parties and painting… But some radicals are claiming that undeath is a curse, and have stolen a holy text. The Eternal monarch has tasked you with recovering the stolen text.

This article of Kala Mandala is so lovely. Thank you so much @newmadras.bsky.social for your patience, for highlighting my anti-ethnonationalist art choices and for making it all make sense!

The Trump administration is so incredibly Nurgle-aligned, it's not funny anymore. Imagine fucking around with containment of flesh-eating maggots that burrow into the flesh of humans, livestock, and other animals and cause intense suffering long before death.

Many TTRPG posts are the same old thing with slightly-reframed delivery, but this is an insight I hadn’t seen before.

The mythic trickster figure is a boundary crosser, and a character that’s queer in essence. Regardless of Coyote’s desires on a given day, he will always exists on the fringe. He exhibits no obedience to the binary. Oh! Other thing about tricksters? THIEVES! 🌈🌈🌈

obsidian.md has been super helpful turning my random notes into a playtest document. I just found a plugin to make them into a PDF with bookmarks. Now all I need is a plugin to make an index from my tags… 🤔 wait a min, does my 16 page zine really need an index? #TTRPG

“Depends Mode? You mean Depeche Mode?” “Yeah we’ve gone far past dad rock, we’re in Great Grandparent Rock then”

chatbots (and all LLM-driven language imitation machines) are a lethal social poison, or so you should believe if you think that giving a shit about the difference between what is true and what sounds plausible is an important precondition of the possibility of social cohesion

Just a quick reminder that Book 1 of the LUMINA series is still available for 99p! Explosive space battles collide with raw, emotional stakes in this gripping sci-fi thriller about loyalty, loss, and the fight to reclaim hope from the ashes of war. Amazon Kindle link: viewbook.at/intothefire

A related question is Fear How do you handle fear in #TTRPG? Currently I have the PCs do a Will Save, on fail – they must break line of sight.
