Path
I love to imagine the paths not taken in the stories we tell.
Especially as a GM you see every place the roads diverge, and, as way leads on to way, some things are lost forever.
Or of course you just bring them back in later and the players never know - that's fun too!

Message
The thing I do miss about in person games is getting secret messages from the GM.
Especially when the other players don't know what they're about but are convinced they're Pretty Suspicious.

I've been feeling like I want to have more interesting conversations with ttrpg people here, and avoid just posting promo stuff, so thought I'd have a go at this daily prompt list for August that @fkth.bsky.social shared on the RPGeeks discord.
Let's go!

A ridiculous sounding word I just came across at work: Psychopomp!
A being who escorts souls to the afterlife, e.g. Anubis, Charon or the Grim Reaper!

I really like @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social's likening of Actual Play to a reality show in this Time Out article.
It's a good way of explaining why above-table chat and player reactions and relationships matter so much.
And it answers the question - why AP and not a film or audio drama?

Uh oh, new followers and I have no introduction post, oops!
I post a lot about ttrpgs, interested in things like performer storytelling skills in particular, and I go on about my actual play channel @rpgeeksdnd.bsky.social.
I'm into science, nature, musicals, dressing up and woke lefty stuff!

I've made some really nice posters over the last couple of months for our winter one-shot season. And I do say so myself!
The whole lot are now up on the RPGeeksDnD YouTube channel and I will also say myself that they are really rather good!

I asked my cast for headshots for an upcoming festive one shot and one of them sent me this. What am I supposed to do with this.

Something we TTRPGers all do but don't often think much about: editing scenes.
How do you decide when a scene ends and who usually takes the lead on this?
This is a great article below - with some take away ideas at the end - as per this screenshot.
Definitely worth a read - and an experiment!

Two of these people will entirely fail to save me.
Two of them will save a kidnapper by mistake.
One will save me but only from myself.
None of them will remember to take me home after the task is over.
