#dice stack

[l1lmab3ans]

I did it… I finally did it…

[polyhedralmice]

My first experience with a ttrpg group was playing Pathfinder 1st Edition, which is pretty crunchy for newbies and combat turns tended take a while. To kill time we got mildly obsessed with making dice stacks, it involved a lot of shouting at our dice and constantly retrieving errant die from under furniture- a great time was had by all.

When I am making ttrpgs with a journaling component I like to include an end point. I know that I’m the kind of person who has trouble starting something without an end (I end up getting analysis paralysis) and in High-Rise Tales I figured a game themed about tall buildings having an end point that revolved around gravity was fitting.

The mechanic works as such- you’re rolling a d6 dice pool to generate prompts about the people, events, and organizations in the high-rise. Any time you roll a 1, it’s removed from the pool and added to the physical dice stack in front of you- the game session ends when your pool is depleted or your dice stack falls!

This was game 2 of 10 for the Shit of Get Off the Pot game jam

me: do you not see me sitting like a little gargoyle in my computer chair

the concept of thistle being a frustrated DM enchants and haunts me (I have to draw a group piece I think) based off that one manga cover........

Thank you for running this complicated bracket!

I'm so sad though that I realized almost every character left in the AP bracket except one is from a DnD podcast/arc so there's almost no indie ttrpg rep in this round

You're welcome! And yeah, shout-out to Nicky Skyjacks for representing games that aren't D&D.

I was going to offer a teaser of an upcoming bracket because somebody submitted a character from We Will NOT Play D&D, but apparently it's named that because it's a scripted audio drama, and not because they'll play any game except for D&D. :(

Anyways shout out to Interstitial, The Unexplored Places, Campaign, NeoScum, TAZ Amnesty, Chapter and Multiverse, Pest Control, and of course Friends at the Table as well as any other podcasts in this bracket that played non-D&D games that I don't know about.

For those who might want to try listening to actual plays that aren't D&D but want something shorter/less of a commitment than the above, the GM for Campaign also has the podcast One Shot, and there's also Party of One Podcast.

For those wanting to try playing some indie TTRPGs, there's a bunch of cool ones for $10 in this itch.io bundle that's raising money for Medical Aid For Palestinians.

Feel free to reply or reblog with more actual play podcasts that use systems other than Dungeons and Dragons!

table-top silliness

the figure on the left, i believe, is of a cat with a pirate-style hat, bowing, sword drawn and being held out carelessly in the right hand. it's just what was at the store where i was playing today. the dice i brought with me, and when i stacked them in this rather silly way i thought it was worth taking a picture of, for fun. i hope all of you are having a wonderful day

Jyuto: They must've grouped us like this so we couldn't come up with anything
