I wrote a 20 page high school term paper on one of those bastards. Had to drive 45 minutes to find a store that carried ribbon cartridges.

Sometimes imagination plays a primary role. Last night our #starwars #ttrpg crew blasted open the airlock of a mining ship that was landed on an asteroid while being attacked by heavy mining droids. Sure, it might be purple boxes on a grey backdrop, but we were all well aware of the stakes!

The crew moves into the airlock of a mining ship docked on a mineral rich asteroid.

We do like the fun, auto-created names for new Sqyre users. But making your own is pretty great too! While it has always been an option in-app, we thought giving a little prompt at sign-up might spark some creativity as you get ready for your next #ttrpg adventure.

@lauguz.bsky.social needed a way to give their players a high-level overview of who & what is on a planet in our Star Wars #ttrpg game. Check out how in the latest blog post: www.sqyre.app/blog/planet-...

The Sqyre crew is off on a new adventure! This time we're diving into the #StarWars #ttrpg from West End Games! And whoo boy it didn't take long for us to get into a pickle. One session in and fresh off smuggling tanks of bacta, we're now facing the consequence of having back stabbed a crime boss!

With Sqyre, you can easily manage backups for each of your #FoundryVTT #ttrpg games. Even download them to have it forever and use a saved backup to import an instance when creating a new game!

Back in one of our local shops and sure enough, another gem! Anyone run or play a Planescape #ttrpg campaign lately?

Clearly I missed that! I’ll keep you updated if it takes shape.

Since none of the named characters can die unless it’s set in the future, I think a different cast in a different era. Maybe some light connections to Sinners characters. Also, I’d buy a ticket right now to a movie about the Choctaw hunters.

@dmingtheworld.bsky.social what are you plans for licensing Darkspace? I’ve got a setting and adventure that could be a good fit and I’d rather not spend my energy developing another fork of Shadowdark.

Would we want a Sinners sequel, either with some of the same characters or set in a different era?

So you want to have different versions of modules (or completely different modules) for each version of #FoundryVTT that you have game instances of? We've got you covered! Choose the version of Foundry and select the modules you need for your adventures.

Honest question: how is this 12 year old blog post still relevant? Are these still four systems to watch? What did we learn by watching them?

Now that #FoundryVTT v13 has been out in the wild for a few weeks it's been amazing to see how much fun folks are having with it for their #ttrpg games! Glad to have been able to support it from day one.

Of course, we've still got v12 covered for folks who're continuing with it as well 😉
