Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.
This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.
Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.
#RPGaDay2023, Tag 1
"First RPG played (this year)"
Teil 1: #Sturmbringer - W100-System, kam in 'ner Box, machte Spaß; hab die Romane von Moorcock aber nie gelesen.
Teil 2: #Pathfinder2 "Gatewalkers" - dank Pathbuilder und frei verfügbarer, umfangreicher Online-SRDs (Archive of Nethys) für mich sogar irgendwie zugänglicher als D&D5. Macht auch extrem Spaß, weil mein alter ego #NivVanDerZee, eine Piratte, schon auf Level 1 mehr hinbekommen hat als all' meine anderen Fantasy-SC zusammen.
Brauch ich wirklich noch ein ganz neues Spiel? Es gibt aber 'ne ganze Menge Bücher/Boxen, für die ich zu spät dran war (zumindest, was die physischen Produkte angeht): #50Fathoms für Savage Worlds (hab aber immerhin die digitale Ausgabe), der #Skulls&Shackles Adventure Path für PF1 (obwohl ich gar nicht weiß, wie gut der ist). #Numenera find ich, wie fast alles von Monte Cook Games vor allem sehr hübsch, aber ob ichs tatsächlich besitzen muss?
First RPG i played (this year)
First RPG I ever Played was D&D. Nuff said about that, so I’ll focus on this year, and that was #ForbiddenLands, as the Symbaroum Group, sadly, didn’t take off.
Anyway, Forbidden Lands is a nice and sadly neglected/underrated Hex Crawler by #FreeLeague with a lot of OSR energy going for it. It uses the Year Zero engine and is appropriately deadly, forcing players to make better use of their wits than their character sheets.
I love it.
Have to catch up, because I spent so much time thinking about this yesterday and couldn’t decide. There’s so many incredibly cool looking games out there. #Vaesen, #FateForge, #Symbaroum, #Numenera, #CYBorg, #MörkBorg, the #OSE boxed sets, etc.
I’m going to go with #TheOneRing, though. The art direction for both is different, but I think they’re both equally cool in their own way. They capture the essence of Tolkien and are beautiful books.
@laidbackdm I had an edition of Greyhawk before this and first will always be my alma mater. Greyhawk was the first time I kept a campaign journal of travels moving from adventure module to next adventure module. And I adore the maps. Others include #Numenera, #Glorantha and the #invisiblesun . And home game types where we've built a map: #thequietyear and #legacylifeamongruins
@montecook i just had to take a moment to thank you for the “describe don’t explain” advice in #Numenera GM section. I’ve applied it to every game I run now.
Sessions three of @mcg#Numenera is in the books. I got to use a GM intrusion to cause a flaming cabbage to set an apartment building on fire. A player spent XP to have there be an aqueduct of “water” near by to put out the fire, and the Cabbage Man is now canonical to the campaign.
Liebe #pnpde-Gemeinde,
begrüßt @Lessy in unserer Mitte. Mein #numenera Crowdfunding-Paket hat bei ihr eine neue gute Heimat gefunden. Dafür habe ich sie auf pnpde.social geführt.
Really great #rpg#design post by @montecook on the multiple purposes rules serve in #ttrpg books. Also the description of what a monster is intended to be used for included in #numenera creatures is a great idea!
More #Numenera trrpg tonight. We’re three actual play sessions in to the Glimmering Valley. The players got to encounter challenge levels of 7 & higher. Some of them, through skills, assets & and level of effort when they really care, & w/ dice (bot) luck, succeeded at these incredibly heroic impossible tasks
Me, making a character in a #Numenera game: Could I be a Wright?
GM: Sure
Me: Is anyone else going to be a Wright, though?
GM: Why?
Me: Cuz, y'know...
GM: Don’t
Me: As the old saying goes...
GM: I'm begging you
Me; Two Wrights make a wrong…
GM: Get out
Hallo #pnpdeswap ! Ich habe Interesse an Trophy (eher Dark, aber auch Gold) und würde mein #Numenéra dafür tauschen. Jemand Interesse? #rpg#pnp#trophydark
