Haha, read this in an RPG group elsewhere:

Nintendo was founded in 1889 making playing cards. Coca-Cola was founded in 1892. Dracula was published in 1897 and was set in the same time. You could have a Dracula adaptation where Dracula drinks a Coke and plays Nintendo and it would be historically accurate.

Today's #witcher RPG session went in a direction I hadn't expected when we started this story, with our witcher and doctor standing at the front of a church with the village reeve, trying to persuade a crowd of nervous villagers that they should make peace with the troll who lives up in the mountains above their grazing fields.

It really made a nice change from "I hit it with my axe"

I picked up a copy of "Blades in the Dark" this week, and have been looking through it.

Liking what I'm seeing so far, and I have to say the internet folks who said "Candela Obscura is a cut-down version of Blades in the Dark" were on to something, there's a very strong resemblance.

At least that means the mechanics are going to be really familiar...

Fate RPG character generation can be a lot of fun, but other times it can feel like handcuffs. It doesn't allow for "but I just met you guys" for one.

Char gen: write a v. short story of your first adventure. Hand your story to the person on your right, that person writes themselves in as a minor character. Hand it to the right again, and write in yourself as a minor character again.

Everyone's backgrounds are interwoven, and sometimes that's just not the setup you want.

Anyone has any starting tips or quests or something for a family that never, ever, has done #DungeonsAndDragons?

My intention is to hook them up. Forever.

Gesetze gegen #Rollenspiel? In #uspol absolut. Ein Texanischer Abgeordneter hat den #FURRIES Act eingebracht: "Forbidding Unlawful Representation of #Roleplaying in Education and Schools" - verbietet absurdes (Menschen dürfen nicht aufs Katzenklo) und harmloses wie Rollenspiel "Tierlaute" oder Katzenohren - #DieSchwarzeKatze #DSK oder #DnD5e #Tabaxi oder #Pathfinder2E Amurrun wären in Schulen strafbar. lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/gop-le #pnpde

This move has been really painful. I'm so glad to be in a permanent home now, but the amount of stuff we have is so overwhelming. I need to do some serious culling for my own sanity.

I have a big stack of early #Dragon #Magazine from my late dad. It's sentimental, but they all seem to be on archive.org. They should go to a good home. I can send more details if interested.

Far from finished, but this is the extended shape the improved land of Nicea. The new sections are to the far west and east. Seeing the ocean on both sides really frames the continent and aesthetically improves the map more than I would have guessed. Next I need to add forest details to the west, then colour and the border needs work. #shadows #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart #largemap #gamesmaster #rpggame #dndcreatives

I’m back once again to the magical land of Nicea. The client has been using the map in family games and now wants to extend the map to the east and west so it shows the whole continent which will look great. There is so much this map taught me, I love the spherical projection, I really want to draw a world map this way at some point. #shadows #mapping #dndmap #dndcartography #cartography #cartographer #rpg #dnd #roleplaying #fantasy #map #ttrpgart

I've posted this wonderful minimalistic artist Weary Traveller before.
Really liked the second release as well (although I've never heard of Mörk Borg).

True story: In one roleplaying adventure, my brother had our group ambushed by fifty Foot Ninjas. I looked up and said, "They're HOW tall? They can't be all that stealthy, can they?"

I wonder...

What podcast? I'm a cranky old geezer.

About XMPP ... I had a Jabber account, but I mostly used AIM. Because that's where the folks I knew hung out.

For about five years, I participated in an online #baseball #roleplaying #simulation league.

The software we simmed with was called Out of the Park, and I ran it using wine.

We all had #AIM, except I used Pidgin cuz #Debian.

The league fell apart in 2009-2010. While it was running, I made a /lot/ of Wordpress.com blogs for players. It's a way to get points that you can spend to improve your player's stats. Other players would pay me to do blogs or websites. That was a win-win, because I got money to buy improvements, and they got points.

I don't remember too many of my players, though I do remember Braden Long (his blog is bradenlong.wordpress.com/).
