I play TTRPGs and dabble in making them as well. I also write short stories, with some success. Fan of board and video games.

Finally got to finish my article about too much success in RPG and writing and how that concept can help make stories more interesting. Games mentioned as examples: #cthulhudark, @gshowitt.bsky.social's #nicemarines, #spaceaces, and @shawntomkin.bsky.social's #Ironsworn.
Is there such a thing as too much success in RPG (and writing)?
Playing an rpg usually involves rolling dice. They tell us whether we succeeded or not. And sometimes they divulge more information about…

I got my hands on Czech version of @buttonshy.bsky.social' Stew. It's only 18 cards, but what a mind-reading exercise! I know the chicken isn't in the stew. But where is garlic? Did they use it to chase away racoon? Or did they put BOTH in the stew and they're worth only one point? The uncertainty!

I finally got to enjoy a few quiet moments, so I tried the newest iteration of #Entity, Hyperion. It comes with ready locations and encounters, so it's ideal for playing in short bursts. I quite enjoyed my fist several encounters and I'll be definitely playing more of it.

This year was interesting. My short stories scored well in two different competitions. One of them finished on 5-10th place out of more than 200 entries, other two ended 1st and 3rd in a monthly competition. All three were subsequently published in collections of stories from those competitions.

A family evening of #CanvasBoardGame. I love both the aesthetic and the gameplay. Rules are easy, but the possibilities wide without becoming overwhelming. The feeling of finishing a unique "painting is a nice bonus.

Trying out #QuestsOverCoffee by @shenbotmakes.bsky.social. I really like the simplicity, the cozy look and the fact that I can really play a game in 10 minutes while drinking coffee.

I've had the opportunity to talk to my fellow (mostly) amateur writers about using #boardgames and #ttrpg (especially the random tables) as a tool for #writing. Not surprisingly, most of them are not giant nerds as myself and had no idea of such possibilities, not to mention the process itself.

I don't know about you but I've had a long and difficult day. So I unwinded by making some #Ironsworn memes. If your day was difficult as well, they might help you cheer up. Sometimes we need to do something unproductive.

Wow, this reached 30 reads in less then 24 hours, which is more than the whole blog had until today :) Thanks, #ironsworn community, you're the best!
