Trying to distract from how bloody awful I feel I played one of my DnD solo side quests.
I was going to play it this morning but didn't have a character and it took me til this evening to realise I could just randomly roll on. Brain fog be brain fogging.

I've been thinking about different editions of #TTRPG and especially #DND. I find that I really prefer the older editions of the game, #THAC0 and all.
The main reason is that those versions tend to have fewer gamey mechanics.
Take death checks in 5e D&D. Every round you make a roll to see if you live to fight another day or not. Three failures, you need a way to raise the dead or a new character sheet.
Personally, I like certainty. I tend to have a lot of bad rolls and I don't like leaving things up to chance or fate if I can help it.
Give me the countdown to -10 HP or dead at 0. Certainty is comforting to me in that situation. I don't want to leave it up to random chance and a cruddy luck streak.
I also don't like system mastery and thinking of characters as "builds".
I don't want to have to go through chains of feats or pour over splat books to make the perfect character. It bores me to tears.
I have no problem with folks who enjoy that. There's no bad-wrong-fun with that, just not my thing.
Give me the base book, maybe a splat for inspiration, but I don't want to have to look through multiple books at the table if I can help it.

After past feedback on the #FediCard , I've become convinced that instance-specific cards are the way to go, since it sidesteps much of the onboarding problems people have with the #FediVerse - if you are at some themed event or organization and can invite people to an instance that fits that theme, then the hurdle to join is a lot lower.
Here, for instance, is a version I've come up with for dice.camp, a #ttrpg specific instance. But truth to be told, I am not really happy with it. I picked the first dice-themed logo under a public domain/Creative Commons Zero license I could find, but this page doesn't really scream "tabletop role-playing games" to me. Does anyone have suggestions for improvement?

A little while back I released a set of 2D modular dungeon tiles...
(here's the video tutorial: https://youtu.be/3hrVeTVgVNg )
...and I also talked about using them for generating random dungeon layouts over on the blog:

Well, I'm finally getting back to that :)
