#tabletop-rpgs

[prokopetz]

No copypasta has ever ruined my life as comprehensively as Hell Fuck Castle. I write tabletop RPGs, and now every time I read a lore blurb about an ancient ruined kingdom where everything was cool until the last ruler fucked it up, my brain whispers "King Big Sad Guy, who did the Flame Thing".

200 Word RPGs 2024

Each November, some people try to write a novel. Others would prefer to do as little writing as possible. For those who wish to challenge their ability to not write, we offer this alternative: producing a complete, playable roleplaying game in two hundred words or fewer.

This is the submission thread for the 2024 event, running from November 1st, 2024 through November 30th, 2024. Submission guidelines can be found in this blog's pinned post, here.

Idea: when fighting a werewolf, cast Invisibility on them!

Possible benefits: if moonlight isn’t shining on them (it would go through without reflecting) they might turn back into a person.

Possible downsides: invisible werewolf.

The more I think on it, and I know this greatly differs from what people have come to expect in recent years, but to me a TTRPG with no adventure modules is like booting up a video game and finding out the devs didn’t make any levels. Like I wanted to play this but I guess we’ll have to wait until someone in the group, who may have never played the game before, spends a not-insignificant amount of their free time in the level-editor throwing something together for us to play.

Some people have asked me if I can publish my mapmaking tools. So I developed a software. 🙂

Here is the result:

being a GM is really fun because sometimes you can make your players go through some really traumatic Evangelion bullshit, but other times you can force them to go bowling for no reason

Akorstra, design commission for @chaebolheir ! This one was so incredibly fun to work with and I got to experiment a bunch here and there-- Look at that lace, it's themed after spiders! The coat divides in 8 ends bcause... Spiders, too. Can you see a theme? >:3c

Given how much of feline play and social behaviour are imitative in character, I feel like it shouldn't come as a surprise to gamers that their cats want to roll the shiny math rocks, too. Like, you demonstrated that this is a form of play and let them watch you do it. They're participating!

I know nothing about Critical Role. These are some characters' impressions I got based on fanart

• fabulously dressed lavender tiefling ready to slay

• twin(?) elven siblings with long-ass generic pill names. I think archwizard Xanax and magister Ibuprofen are an actual part of their bloodline.

• unhinged little goblin that laughs in the face of gender identity

• that one two-colored half-orc that is tuskless(?) for some reason so I'm assuming Trauma™

• pink-haired Greenpeace firbolg

• that one ginger human wizard (?) that gets shipped with EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER in this damn fandom. Seriously, he gets passed around like a blunt. Also, I've never seen a single fanart of that man where he doesn't look absolutely MISERABLE, so I'm assuming he's some kind of depressed Victorian child.

I love DnD and I'm about to watch Critical Role for the first time after years spent seeing fanart made by the fandom without having any context. This are the characters I know about so far, and I've got no idea if this is the right impression or not. NOBODY CORRECT ME, I have to figure it out on my own. ( Btw I've no idea how many campaign this has or what season each character is from.)

i am looking at you, new ttrpg players. i am looking you in the eyes. you do not need to be like the professional players. it's okay if you can't do voices or stutter or need to pause to think about what you're going to say or how your character would act. we are doing this for fun. gaming should never stop being fun

A vampire is showing you a video on her iPhone called “5 SCARY GHOST ATTACKS to Watch at NIGHT,” making you go through the whole thing and watching you really closely for a reaction especially when it gets to #4, grinning with her fangs out. The video narrator is explaining that four ghost hunters were enveloped in a black fog and that deep cuts and abrasions started to appear on their skin. Most of the bloody details are obnoxiously blurred.

one-page RPG idea: two-player game where one is trying to burn down the Gävle Goat and the other is the exhausted local government trying to stop them
