One of my favorite simple #RPGs is @timh's #Apollo47. The game is mostly an awesome premise with simple guidelines to help make it work. I think the main rules are just a couple of pages plus examples. If you want you can also buy the ridiculously awesome mutli-hundred page print on demand book consisting of inspirational NASA technical manual copies. It's great fun!
Interesting RPG situation on consoles that I hadn't anticipated: Baldur's Gate 3 is soon out on Playstation, while XBox will have Starfield. We know BG3 is a huge success already, so that puts a lot of pressure on Starfield. #rpgs#videogames#xbox#playstation
Getting a little bit of FOMO from people playing #bg3... but what's the game like past the character creator? How's the story and characters? Are the skills fun? #videogames#RPGs
Wildermyth, Vagrus - The Riven Realms, and our own Star Traders: Frontiers partnered up to offer a new Steam bundle for players who love deep & replayable RPGs. If you already own one game, you still get the discount on the others.
All three of our games offer hundreds of hours of playtime; check 'em out!
So after getting bombarded with #kickstarter ads on #facebook for the #ttrpg "Wilderfeast," I succumbed to pressure and read the quickstart. And...well, it looks pretty cool. Big #monsterhunter vibes and interesting mechanics (coming from someone who's only really played #dnd5e).
I'm kinda obsessed with Rogue and roguelike games in general (and weird monsters). I was reading this great article from 2016 about their history that I boosted yesterday (thanks to @WoodooProd for alerting me to it).
As I read and poked around the web to check out these early roguelikes, I loved these two screens from a SUPER early roguelike (Pedit5, from 1975).
Hello all, much like others I'm trying out Mastodon after today's #twitter fiasco so here's my #introduction post!
I'm Rose and I'm a married #asexual ciswoman. I work as a data analyst for local government in the #UK and am interested in #data topics. I am currently doing an apprenticeship in data analytics and hope to learn a lot.
My utmost sympathy to anyone who is forced to work in MS Word by their employer - creating this template was a painful experience and has given me a fresh appreciation for how powerful Google Docs really is.
That rounds out all the platforms I intend to create the template for, but if anyone has a suggestion for another freely available, online platform that is good for this kind of thing, then I'm open to suggestions.

Keep the #Gaming hashtag flowing, we are making a nice contribution to the #Fediverse and before you know it there will be a 1st birthday cake on the table.
