Faction thoughts:

Mars- Powered Armour and big guns. Downsides: Low action economy, expensive & low manoeuvrability.

Nnng with this Expanse ARPG being announced I'm kind of surprised there hasn't been a (skirmish) minis game yet.

Might have to get back to developing mine that's heavily influenced by it.

Currently thinking about it as Gaslands but with people in 0 G combat.

If I've learned anything from RPPR it's the value of a debrief/ post mortem :)

Know Evil was one of those campaigns that left a mark on my psyche.

@rosspayton.bsky.social saying "questions, comments, suggestions?" At the end of APs was formative. Not just immediately but also for establishing investment in the next game/session too imo.

Also:
Checking In
Rose & Thorns / Stars & Wishes
Kienna's Safety Tool resource
In general what to do after a session and the possibility that it's ok for people to want particular things/ have agency over the game.

I have learned a lot from people and I've seen so many people who might benefit.

Definitely Atlantis.

Never posted Charlie here...or if I have, may as well push her up the public consciousness of my media tab. She's the protagonist of my upcoming comic! And she's a total mess.

Various images of a woman with platinum blonde hair and a padded jacket. One image shows her being less than human. Weird.

@hebanongames.bsky.social running @posthumanstudios.com Eclipse Phase campaign for RPPR.

I think it was the first game I listened to that grappled with big ideas.

Thought Punks 🎲 TTRPGs + Punk 👩‍🎤 @thoughtpunks.com · 13h

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?

I just broke my favorite bowl T.T

It’s Signature Housewares Debby Sagura 2009 “Stripe” collection stoneware (ceramic)

Looked on eBay and fb marketplace already and haven’t seen any replacements ;-; maybe someone here can help? I’m actually so sad :((

A broken bowl. It’s an off white ceramic bowl with yellow, green, red, and black vertical stripes on the trim.

Adam Makey @darkestadam.bsky.social · 18h

Yeah. Ryuk basically wanted to see what happened essentially.

Has any one of the people who cover overconsumption on the short video apps done anything about the D&D community yet?

Seems like an obvious topic to cover...

Adam Makey @darkestadam.bsky.social · 23h

I have been thinking more people would like it if they knew about the Corruption Tf Combat Doll part. But I don't know if I'm qualified to talk about Ko Dali

Aleph: We don't talk about the William Wallace or Saladin incidents...

Adam Makey @darkestadam.bsky.social · 1d

In the wargame Infinity one of the factions Aleph uses archival data to make simulacra of historical figures for propaganda reasons.

This was something that sprung to mind just now.

Also, it is telling that all the examples of a conversation completely miss the point of talking with someone too.

Max Nichols @maxnichols.bsky.social · 1d

Why does every AI proponent have the world's lamest idea of what a conversation is

Well

I guess only someone who gives zero shits about other people could possibly imagine LLMs being worth talking to

"And you could say, Well, Dr. Martin Luther King, I've always wanted to meet you. What was your day like today? What did you have for breakfast? And he comes back and he talks to you. How cool would that be if we have a series of historical figures that we all could agree on, that we respect?"

Hey Gamers it's 9:15 PM, have you considered HIRING LUNA to make your next project LOOK GOOD AS HELL and also MAKE SENSE TO READERS?

Because you should...

Luna P. @satelitesnaturales.bsky.social · Mar 4

Hey gamers, Luna here. I'm a graphic designer for ttrpgs, you can hire me to make your zines cooler, or to kill your enemies with my mind. Unless they deal poison damage, then I'm out. Anyways, you want this. Yes?

Table of contents for the game OMEN. Grey and red stripes decorate the page with the titles for each section.

A 3D render of a spread from wolves at the lake. There's a zine and 2 red die on dark wooden planks.

A spread from a feast for a sphinx. It depicts a centipede person holding an obsidian spearhead, along with the descriptions of said weapon and the rooms 7 and 8. The colors red and gold adorn the white page.

A spread from the goblin mail extras zine. Showing two characters, a mail goblin and a robot made out of mail. The art is black and white and features halftone pictures of stamps.

Ekhinos Field, territory for HELLPIECERS, a rocky hill with crater in the middle with an energy in the shape of an eye, with stars and the space emanating from it, and above the crater white rocks with eyes and energy moving around them.
