Ok, it's late.

I should probably go to bed, because I've got a conference tomorrow.

But ... I don't have to leave until later in the morning and, well, #GodzillaMinusOne is on Netflix...

@nukehavoc Fantastic! I was a kid in the 80s in Jersey, too. Thankfully, I played it slower and safer on those, but only cos I wasn't a daredevil/risk taker. But my dad was and I'm glad he never got injured. I would only scrape a little skin on the mountainside track carts once in awhile.

Many thanks to @grueproof for the suggestion. It's been helping me get through all the annual reviews I need to write at work.

Just read SpeedRune.

Tl;dr: What if #RuneQuest, but without the metric fuckloads of hyper-specific lore, and jettisoning all mechanical complexity?

Short. To the point. Captures the core ideas that make RuneQuest cool in an extremely minimal fashion.

GMs: Give this to your players. Read the actual RuneQuest books yourself. Ransack them for things to put in your game.

This may literally be the best way to play RuneQuest.

@masukomi I am hacking a version of this to fit a multiverse hopping series of one shots. And am really excited to use it with #Glorantha materials. Aaron King also organized an Itch jam in December 2023 that included over 10 submissions of supplements and originals. https://itch.io/jam/speedrune-jam/entries

While the five root forms are an arbitrary chunking/distillation of a complex design issue, they're a useful set of chunks for eyeing centrality.

Just as higher-trust adventures tend to cluster multiple problems, higher-trust problems tend to cluster multiple "forms."

The Huzrael in Toast, designed in part to be an example, are simultaneously Imperiled, Misplaced, and Failing.

Three of their number (Hirash, Jaina and optionally Amrad) embody At-Odds and/or Harmful.

    @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

    @Lane@dice.camp avatar

    I like the novel Dune more than I do LotR, and I think the latest Dune adaptation (both movies taken as a whole) are excellent, and mostly faithful to the book.

    But the LotR movies, while admittedly taking a lot of liberties, are so monumental and innovative that they still eclipse the cinematic Dune.

    That said, Zendaya probably deserves a nomination next year, for playing Chani in part 2.

    @SJohnRoss @Lane That's cool! I could knock out LotR but had to restart Dune. Love them all.

    Well, I now have an odd new phone - the Teracube 2e. Which got my attention because it's inexpensive, works with the e/os easy installer, and has a headphone jack. Also it's got some long-lifespan environmental cred and a replaceable battery (!), which is cool.

    I put in e/os with the launcher, aaaand: 45 minutes, dead simple.

    And now, the attempt to get all my main needs without ever connecting to Google (the option to do so is there if I can't, but I'm going to try not to).

    "For the past several years, Märtha Louise, 51, has said she can talk with angels, while Verret, 48, claims that he communicates with a broad range of spirits, wields ancient medicine and has a medallion which helps ward off heavy energies, spells and darkness."

    For a bit I thought I slipped into the #Shadowrun timeline.
    Anyway. They seem to match each other.

    Ahhh, found home after a brief, good start of a few weeks in the Fediverse. Looking forward to exploring and supporting tabletop rpgs here. Of late : joined GenCon Online this year, considering design on an rpg and/or system agonistic mini rpg on social interactions and /or relationships and hoping to play in a Blades in the Dark crew and worldbuilding campaign one day (or similar). I'm also an oldie who is Noobie to Glorantha this year. Partly kicked it off playing at ChaosiumCon 2023.
