There are many things wrong in the world.
This place is my 'escape room'.

TTRPGs, mostly D&D - started in 1984 when AD&D (1e) was the current version.
And boardgames.
Software developer.

New 10% extra tariffs from the US for the Netherlands—and other countries—because we support Greenland and send 2 (yes, 2 persons) military personnel to prepare a NATO exercise.

I know how it's called if kids behave like this in school

Our quest for tonight: find out if Kumuhea is really helping us, or if she is still an ally of Skati. I fear it's the last. But then: why are we here in her lair?

And what else is hidden in these tunnels?

After yesterday's dnd session in the Sunken Isles campaign, our party is now officially like the Ship of Theseus: all original party members(*) have died, but the party still exists.

(*) one character that attends only once in a while still lives, but was not present yesterday

Tonight finally d&d again with the weekly crew, alter 3 weeks off!

Last time? I hardly remember and my notes are lacking this time.

Ah, it was combat. We cleared 1 (of 4) of the enemy towers, but the boss cast Earthquake. A "friendly" npc rescued us into a subterranean maze.

I'm sure it's fine 🤪

YouTube is SO annoying nowadays. It starts playing everything with badly AI translated audio into my native language (not English). There are no options to opt out in general, or even to set languages never to translate.

So if you get less views (from me), blame #YouTube #ttrpg #aislop

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how 2026 is going to go.

Let me check the top three...

A convicted statutory rapist locked up in a mental institution, an absurd comedy, and being continuously terrified

Sounds about right

Campaign completed with a win...
"we would like Spelljammer now!"

So, reading up on tactics 🧐

Unexpectedly, my "Family Matters" #dnd group had an extra session today.

They freed not only the abducted sister of two party members, but also an Efreeti from a magical bond, by using a Wish granted by said Efreeti.

Next session, they plan to 🥶 investigate an ice factory and 🔥🔥 defeat a fire cult

Today we had not much time for games. Revisited an old game (Spiel des Jahres 1989) that we had not played in years: Cafe International

Christmas dinner done, time for family games

Next week Tuesday my #Dragonlance group will, after almost exactly 3 years of irregular sessions, finish their campaign.

Let's hope that bard Will Treaty, druid Vasuki, paladin Iraokas, and their pal Gunther the ranger, prevail!

Played "The Quacks of Quedlinburg" for the first time last night. I started average, but the second game I won - barely - because of 3 points gained from saved rubies

Having 2 weeks off of work - time for family and some long overdue boardgames and ttrpg sessions!

Yesterday, my "Family Matters" group had the last #dnd session of the year. For reasons, the next session with the entire party will be in February, probably.

I was so proud of how it went. There were big in-character conversations, and the players told me they really like the world and the story.

This weekend, Sinterklaas—the saint that brings presents to Dutch children of all ages on/around 5 December—brought me a nice new dm screen.

My D&D party did not achieve much tangible results yesterday, but they learned a lot:
- some npc's lie and cheat
- some mysteries are too dangerous, for now
- "run away to fight another day" is a solid tactical solution
- if you don't act on things you were hired to do, someone else may step in

My "Family Matters" d&d group is planning to go into a forest that nobody ever returns from - they have been warned multiple times.

I think that at some time, I will need to remind them that there is no shame in "running for your life".

I will be using a beautiful animated map by @angelamaps.com .

Tonight is our monthly board game night. Usually I bring a stack of games.

Any new games you recently played that you recommend?
Play time max. 90 minutes, or shorter

The rocket in the current season of 9-1-1 is called Inara 2

Is that a reference to Firefly's Inara ? I like to think so!

Currently watching the last half hour of last week's episode "The Heart of Lethe".

Sadly, again I will not he able to see the next one (tomorrow) live, but I definitely will catch the final episode as soon as I can.

If you like #dnd and Greek mythology, this is the one series to watch!

@rdonoghue.bsky.social You reposted this post by Scott Horton, but their statement is not a true representation AT ALL of what is said in the Dutch news article. (I am Dutch).
