Ran in an in-person game of ChangedStars today, then drove home and did an online unstreamed game of Fabula Ultima.

Very interesting 👀 TTRPG creators in the #TTRPGCommunity should definitely considering taking a look.
There's still a week left in the TTRPG Tools Jam! We've had a bunch of neat projects submitted to help make games more easily accessible to folks, including rules summaries, character sheets, and an audiobook! Highly recommend folks look through and see how we're trying to get games to more people
TTRPG Tools Jam
A game jam from 2025-10-01 to 2025-11-16 hosted by Aaronsxl. In the vein of the TTRPG Resource Jam , this jam aims to create tools to bring indie RPGs to a greater number of people. These would likely...

Hacking!
For games where digital systems are a serious consideration, rules for hacking almost always emerge as a natural consequence of the desire to subvert them.
While these rules vary from a handwave to a game in-and-of themselves, in ChangedStars we give them just enough to "stand alone."

Watching the Sword and the Sorcerer with @spiderqueenlong.bsky.social and I had seen about half of it before, someone posted it on here, and I just assumed it was like... a latter-day parody.
But no, this dropped in 1982 and appears to have been entirely played straight? Honestly, respect.

How many tables is too many tables to be able to play a tabletop roleplaying game?
I have seen many answers to this. A common one is 0, and that any number higher is a relic of the 90s. I have seen suggestions that it is actually a fault of the player/GM if they lack eidetic memory.

Shout out to Rune Quest: Slayers. They used a d6 die pool-with-modifiers roll for success system for combat. All 1s meant a fumble, and the number of 6s that hit scaled up into the crit.
Late night TTRPG History, iSuppose? Game design a bit similar to ChangedStars re:Twists\Success.

I am the lonely guy at the edge of the party every time Megadungeons come up because besides a few very specific exceptions the thiught of there being ONE dungeon for a campaign/game makes me instantly lose interest in reading/playing that game. And you can extra forget about running it.

As someone who has done actual plays for about half a decade now, I have a question for people who express sentiments along the lines of "I want to see real play / actually playing the game not a production":

If you think about it being a tabletop RPG designer making mysteries is like writing a Columbo episode and getting to be in the audience at the same time, because the mystery to you really is "howsolvedit?" either way.

The Burden of Others' Whims is frequently a weight a designer must choose not to carry if they are to make something good.

Hey so I am a huge proponent of "use adventures and one-shots to show what your game can do and how you'd support that (and also they're good and fun to play through") and DieselShot keeps delivering with Changed Stars. Check it out!

I think my biggest weakness as a "creator" is that iCannot be fake; if I think something is bad I say that, if I don't think it's really that bad/in that way I usually say that too. And I try to be nice to all designers in a way I think people might see as insincere but my love for them is v/real.
