Watching the Pokémon TCG go from being a nice easy game aimed at children and young people to a scalping hellscape that greasy, non-playing adults use as an “investment”, thus pricing out actual players of the game, has truly been one of the saddest things about nerd culture becoming more mainstream

Okay #ttrpgcommunity. I need some opinions. I am working on a rules-lite/medium TTRPG with a FITD adjacent system, where story is king. So, players, GMs, designers, do you like encumbrance, or not? How often do you ignore encumbrance? Do they belong in rules lite affairs? #ttrpg #ttrpgdesign

PC #gamers. I need some single player story game recommendations. I’ve played RDR2, Cyberpunk, Dishonored 2, Last of us. So not those! I’ve been loving chilling with a good story lately, too much sweat in multiplayer these days #videogames

Rubbing your nose against walls to find secrets is top tier gameplay and I’m tired of pretending it isn’t

Turns out world building is the key to game design block. The citizens of New Amara must deal with the prospect of living in a pre apocalyptic city state until the bitter end, or destroy the families that brought the darkness to the place they call home.

Explaining to a therapist why math rocks make me feel better is oddly challenging. They go clickety clack and I think I'm Orc, what's not to get? #ttrpg #ttrpgcommunity

#ttrpg GMs of Bluesky, what resources do you look for or like to see from a core book? What helps you run a game and what tends to be completely useless for you. Specifically thinking of narrative led games with regular to light levels of crunch #ttrpgs #rpgs #dnd

I've been on a long break from game design and I feel out of practice, and the wheels keep spinning in place. Anybody know of any upcoming #ttrpg game jams? #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpgs

I (as most of us probably will) find more people through social media these days than through anywhere else. It takes 2 seconds to name those that gave their time and talents to your works. I dare to say it is an obligation, not a favour, of a creator to mention their collaborators, and it's free

My game, Runners of New Amara, will use a "Dice Banking" system where players can choose to keep a die to the side on a successful check, to use again later to activate certain skills, or boost their future checks. What are your favourite dice mechanics in #ttrpgs? #ttrpg

i don't understand why more men don't go to therapy. paying someone to listen to you because you're not close enough to anyone who will do it for free? the manliest thing imaginable

I feel so free from the shackles of “the other place”. The pressure to feed its algorithm to get anywhere is exhausting. Now I can just, write an RPG. Time to get to work
