I generally use Bluesky to learn more about my favorite tabletop roleplaying games, such as 13th Age.

It’s arrived! I’ve never played 13th Age, but I’ve heard so many great things I had to back it & hello gorgeous. I’m a sucker for a good GM screen, & now I might run it for my group or Patreon.
Between Black Company, 13th Age, & my Conan-without-Conan playtest… have I become a fantasy fan? 👀🐉

I really really love the exciting monsters in draw steel. Ogres that can surprise a grabbed character by bowling them into other party members? Or jump down with a shockwave? Pitchfork catapult? Yes, please.

Here's an interesting blog post about RPGs other the D&D, what they do, and how different systems support and demand different sorts of play. Thirty years ago, this is what I wanted to see one day: lots of story-oriented RPGs on the shelves.

For me, that game is 13th Age. I'm so passionate about it, I'm the editor for its fanzine, Escalation. Members of the 13th Age community sometimes assume I work for Fire Opal Games. 😅

Do you have a ttrpg that in your opinion is so under celebrated that you have appointed yourself head of the PR committee for that game? Where on at least one occasion someone mistakenly assumed you must have worked on it but really you're just unwell about it?
What's that game to you?

Their slim profiles and constant coiling and shifting disguise how large and strong their bodies can be. Cunning as well, they will use tactics similar to wolves, but adapted even more toward a given prey, and will alternate between rushing down a target, using hit and run, or catching up prey with their long, constricting tails.

A new interview up today with @jonathantweet.bsky.social and @benriggs.bsky.social. It's all about Ars Magica, which I call "the most innovative RPG you've never heard of." (The recent almost-million dollar kickstarter might disagree with the latter.)

@d20play.bsky.social runs a fast, beginner-friendly game, and you should jump into one if you're interested in learning the system. It's just as tactical, heroic, and cinematic as advertised!
