This is the thread for my professional #ttrpg campaigns on @startplaying.bsky.social. Below is my profile with some info about me (and my position on Nazi punching) and reviews from my players. If you have any questions, hit me up.

Professional Game Master - Eric The Social Justice GM | StartPlaying

I've been running games in every medium (tabletop, larp, and pbp) and system for 20+ years - and playing for more than 30. I have run a lot of games in a lot of systems. I have a special fondness for ...

Ethnic cleansing is so fun!

I fucking hate this world.

Avatar. Being able to project into her sisters Avatar and finally have the body she always wanted and uniting with the Navi in a way that avoids the White Savior elements. Plus we get a lesbian relationship. It just makes the movie better.

We should get a Wolverine watching Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch go at it on the big screen.

Fucking Ultimates.

I appreciate it.

Yeah but it is also awful in new and different ways from the original system. It's puzzling on it has so many more pages but fewer choices and interesting elements. I was extremely disappointed. However I may be converting the Shadow War to Untamed World's. Which shows promise.

SPINE has been released on itch! You can download your PDF or a printable booklet today to start playing!

I'm keeping it FREE through the end of October.

SPINE is a solo tabletop RPG that looks like a book. It is your anchor to the fictional world, a prop, and a work of art — a keepsake — that you co-create, all in one.

In SPINE, you quite literally embody a researcher who is reading and marking up the physical book in front of you.

Agreed but I really want to play Guyver the RPG. Like this is a dream game for me. Guyver is one of my favorite anime/mangas of all time.

My interest in Nechronica has now been piqued.

I still would love to play a Tager game.

I can't even say the Dark Tower is an exception because the writing in both book and movie causes me physical pain.

Stephen King's books make better movies than they do books.

I can agree with that. Both the 2e and 3e Forgotten Realms corebooks/box sets were very thorough.

But now I kind of want to read Dracula vs Moldemort.

And he is still only the second worst bloodsucker associated with Hogwarts.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

They would crumble under the weight of what you deal with.

Eric_IAG @thesocialjusticegm.bsky.social · 1d

I read them as an adult too and they still sucked. Maybe we should just push better books?

That scans.

Reading comprehension is a skill. Practice it.

Eric_IAG @thesocialjusticegm.bsky.social · 1d

This certainly contributed to the problem in my high school. The English teacher was one of the worst teachers I've ever had.

Eric_IAG @thesocialjusticegm.bsky.social · 1d

Did I say the teachers weren't trying to get kids to read? No. I said the curriculum was designed to do that. Reading comprehension is your friend.

Eric_IAG @thesocialjusticegm.bsky.social · 1d

I hated it more when I read it in my 30s.

Eric_IAG @thesocialjusticegm.bsky.social · 1d

Yup.

Eric_IAG @thesocialjusticegm.bsky.social · 1d

Pain and suffering.

Eric_IAG @thesocialjusticegm.bsky.social · 1d

A good call.
