#RPGaDAY2024 Day 6! You Awaken in a Strange Place by Jacob Andrews is a no-prep game that is very easy to pick up and creates beautifully chaotic one-shot adventures! I've got to play in two games for @realmspod and they were both utterly delightful.

YASP Memories (#1)

I Don't Post On Tumblr So Why Not Post Some Tabletop Stories From A Game I Play, 'You Awaken In A Strange Place'

Okay So I'll Just Start With The First YASP Game I Played, I Was Playing As Snek The Snek, There Was Also A Normal Person And A Clown Named Wumbles

We Wake Up Locked In Jail, And Seeing As How He's A Snek, Snek Stealthily Goes Between The Bars And Strangles The Guard. I Think He Helped The Others Escape But This Was A While Ago

But Anyway, They Do Escape And We Make Our Way To A Storage Room, Where We Encounter The Turtle God (He's Chill)

The Clown Killed The Turtle God, But Before He Could Ascend Snek Ascends Instead (Naturally, His First Action As God, Is To Try And Kill Himself) ((He Fails))

Let Me Know If I Should Write More Of These, I Doubt Anyone Will Actually SEE This, But Lmk I Guess???

I just had a dream about a little girl who went viral on tiktok because she couldn’t say ‘yaas or naahs’, she just always said ‘yasp or nasp’ but with a lot of confidence. People started saying yasp or nasp to everything and doing yasp or nasp challenges. I woke up and started thinking about how I had to share yasp or nasp with the waking world and composing this text post in my head, but about halfway through I woke up sufficiently more to realise ‘yaas or naahs’ is not a thing in the waking world, dream me had invented a new stupid gay way of saying ‘do you fuck with this or no is it a yaas or naahs’. THEN I realised my subconscious had probably gotten it from Hannah Smokey Glow’s makeup reviews and the specific way she says YAAAS OR PASS. So hannah if you’re out there

i love how my first introduction to jasper william cartwright, ttrpg player extraordinaire, was not d20 or even three black halflings but the oxventure one-shot video where he's a guest to play You Awaken In a Strange Place, a one-shot game developed by jacob andrews from drawfee, a youtube channel i love dearly alongside oxventure.

that video includes the whispers of revolution in the nondescript regency kingdom, everyone having the power to explode people with their minds (the whole body, i mean (not just the head (the WHOLE body, all of it gone, this is very crucial you see))), and jasper playing a naked duke who's allergic to bricks, which is less relevant than you'd think considering the whole thing takes place in a nightclub in a building presumably made of bricks.

Galaxy, Rose and Sun for the Pretty Asks game.

Also hope you're ok Bee!! I miss youuuuuuuu

I also can't remember which Anon I had before 🙈🙈 but I THINK it was either 💜 or 🥵

Hi lovely, you werre the 🥵 anon,

also so sweet to see back in my inbox, I sure have missed seeing you pop in!

Galaxy: What fascinates you?

History, specifically family history and genealogy as well as Scottish. Some of my mutuals will indeed tell you how much of a love I have for it, I think it is so incredibly fascinating, and if you ask me about I will yasp about it all until the cows come home!

Rose: Favourite flower?

I think this one may not surprise anyone, but I do love a sunflower, I always feel happy when I see them, and I also love Daisy's for the same reason.

I also really truly love Hydrangeas, because my Nan always had them in her garden at every house she lived in, and they remind me of her <3

Sun: Favourite season?

Easy peasy this one, Autumn/Fall.

I am a rain, cold weather girlie, I love autumn for the weather, for the time of year, I just always feel happy during autum, like it gives me something special and I love going to historic castle and other monuments during the autumn too.

Hi, me again. I was the one that asked the favourite Oxventure series question. Feel free to just call me J (I may be popping back in and out again to ask questions anonymously (anon because just that extra layer of privacy while still being active, y'know?)).

This time around I just wanted to ask, if you had to pick one adventure from each of the series that you would consider your favourite, what would it be? (Don't have to answer for Deadlands since that ain't complete yet) Because see for me, it'd probably be Plandemonium from D&D (just loved the utter chaos of planning that went on it that episode), YASP for One-Shot Wonder (again, utter chaos), Dead Man's Worth for Deadlands (twists and turns and Andy's smug face) and The Astor Gambit for BitD (1. Johnny is reason enough. 2. The Wonderful Mechanical Man was there).

hi j!!! you have excellent taste in episodes!!! sorry it’s taken me a while to get around to replying to this, i just moved back into my uni flat so life has been busyyyyyy

as per tradition – the short answer will be up here and the wall of text/explaining under the cut 😊 d&d: heist society and a fishmas carol bitd: first flight of the sparrowhawk osw: dread deadlands: dead man's worth part i

heist society was the first ep of oxventure i ever watched (completely by accident lmao, i was so confused) so it holds a lot of nostalgia for me but i also think it’s one of the stronger episodes of early oxventure? i mean it has everything. red room full of blood. sexy minion outfits. I’VE RUN THE LABS. tinnies. what’s chess? fucking effervescent. everyone seems to have settled into roleplaying and d&d and i love a whodunnit mystery and there’s literally never a dull moment in that episode. a fishmas carol is also a close fave – the adventure pit, SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH CORAZON!, cthuludad, alfred strangetide my beloved, egbert seeing the ninja turtle, IRON! but then again its so hard to pick favourites, especially with oxventure because the thing is about oxboxtra and johnny is that it's kinda impossible to put them in a room together and the outcome not be fucking hilarious. dine hard, also brilliant. ship happens. unreal estate. SECT APPEAL! basically every time i think of my fave i remember a different episode and change my mind.

sparrowhawk is my fave blades episode because it brought us The Aeronaughty Boys aka the best named group in oxventure history. but also because i think kasimir and barnaby/mike and johnny bounce off of each other so well? it’s classically opposites attract and so funny to watch hardened criminal kas be Astounded by barnaby’s scheming. and because i love the way johnny has a very proud expression on their face any time they watch luke dm, it’s so sweet. i also love a crimsnight carol because oh my god the capellenaga family and their snakey snakey hair (did we ever find out if lilith’s dad had snake body hair?) but also starting the adventure with the name evan “the geezer” screws was such a fucking power move and set the silly tone of the whole ep perfectly. also baby edvard my beloved. all iterations of edvard my beloved. andy was given so much space in which to play and play in it he did. other faves of mine are the astor gambit, murder at volisport academy (edvard's reaction to lilith's snake hair is so sweet), AND THE LAMPBLACK WEDDING HOW COULD I FORGET!? jane and ellen are such an underrated combo.

as for one shot wonder, admittedly i haven’t watched enough to really pass comment, as mentioned in the previous ask i struggle with new content/formats/guests and i desperately wish i didn’t. my mind just gets very fixed on something it likes The Way It Is and any change to that is immediately so very difficult to settle in to. autism things. but from what i have watched, the dread episode is fan-fucking-tastic. i wish we’d had time to get more into killian’s character because there was some foreshadowing that didn’t have a chance to go anywhere, madison (as all of ellen’s characters are) was immediately so intriguing, i refuse to believe that brad’s name isn’t actually gregg and, once again, when luke westaway gets his sticky gm paws on a game, you know it’s gonna be good.

deadlands is shaping up to be great, i love love LOVE. the accents and the aesthetic and the vibe of the weird west, it’s such a perfect game for andy to dm and as far as the episodes go, dead man’s worth part one is my favourite. the ending oh my GOD the ending. the first real pc death in oxventure! it’s such a tonal shift from what we’ve previously been given where situations have been perilous but never truly deadly. i was sobbing buckets because 1) somehow in less than two episodes johnny had made nate so very endearing and 2) it was such a tonal shift. andy’s shit-eating grin too oh my god. and luke and jane’s faces.

so again, it’s another essay from me going “i love this but i also love this and this and this”, it’s just so hard to choose favourites because, as i said before, i think it’s impossible for an oxventure to not be incredible. the chemistry between everyone just makes everything they touch turn to ttrpg gold. it’s literally the reason that i started this blog? i kept spamming my best friend with “oh my god _ just said-“ and whilst they welcomed/even encouraged that, consistently spamming them with a lot of d&d shit with no context (and then the subsequent context in a five minute voice note) wasn’t very conducive to me keeping my nearest and dearest near and dear and getting all the brainrot out somewhere. hence my personal corner of tumblr dot com. it’s all my favourite moments, every bit that makes me have to pause and take a stim break bc laughter isn’t enough, every silly line or tongue-in-cheek joke that just makes me incredibly happy. they’re all my favourites!

ty for the ask and apologies for the essay/vague ass answer! i love talking abt oxventure and sometimes i feel like if i don’t i may go a little mad :3

Here's my PC from You Awaken in a Strange Place, GM'd by James Barbarossa for @realmspod! Banshee McBain is a goth orc from the YASP one-shot "Star Quest: Dark Horn Rising" who is amazing at killing people with indie vinyl records.

You can listen to me and my fellow players, Ella Watts and David Pellow, play James's sci-fi fantasy epic right here!

HEY! Do you like TTRPGs like D&D but do you never have time to prepare or sift through all the endless rules and features? Play YASP, the indie TTRPG for the instant gratification of creating a whacky story with your friends with less than 15 minutes of prep! Yes, really!

Here's the deal: You get the 7 page rulesheet for any price you deem fit HERE, and gather three of your silliest friends. Said friends will secretly come up with a Genre, Adjective, and Location, put them together, and voilá, the world is born! Just yesterday I played with my friends in a Creepy Kids TV Show on an Evangelic Windfarm and it was incredible. You may not come to the table prepared and the adventure has to end in one session. No grind, no rule-checking, just pen, pencil, 2d6 and a pool of 16 improvised silly skills at your character's disposal. Go make a story together!

Have you played YOU AWAKEN IN A STRANGE PLACE ?

By Jacob Andrews

It is a fully improvised one shot where you make up everything in the spot from the setting to the stats. It’s meant to be something you can just whip out and start playing almost immediately without any prep. It’s very silly and fun!

Well, 2020 is finally gone. A year that will go down in history as one of the worst years in recent memory of the majority of people, and I am no exception from majority in this instance. But how did the world of Cinema fair? Very poorly. We lost so many during the year, that this post can only be names and still doesn't do justice to the amount of lost talent. From John le Carre, the author of "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" which is a pinnacle of spy fiction, to Alan Parker, the mad eye behind "Bugsy Malone" and "Midnight Express". Hell, the year started with the loss of a Python, and we lost Terry Jones. But for me the blows came when we lost Sean Connery, the best incarnation of Bond, and Mohammad Ali Keshavarz, my favorite Iranian actor, alongside Ennio Morricone, the greatest movie composer ever. The year took a lot from the world of cinema. But for me, the quarantine was the jump start of many projects of varying quality. I started "YASP!" with Amir Reza, which is just pure fun more than anything, and I hope for it to go strong. I started my YouTube Channel (AK88 Studios) with a series called "Born in Quarantine", which had a better reception than I could imagine and invigorated me to come back to the world of YouTube very soon. I also started my own audio journal, "The Last Thoughts of a Busy Mind", which is therapuetic more than anything else. And I met new people online, and I expanded my language skills with some writing, and generally managed to not kill myself (which is a plus for me!), so 2020 will go down as a memorable year too. I know 2021 probably won't be different, but I am kind of excited to get rid of 2020. Let's see what 2021 has in store, I can barely wait. Happy New Year! P.S. consider this my official return! I try to post more and interact more. #2021 #cinema #johnlecarre #tinkertailorsoldierspy #alanparker #bugsymalone #midnightexpress #seanconnery #jamesbond #mohammadalikeshavarz #محمدعلی_کشاورز #enniomorricone #yasp #ak88studios #borninquarantine #thelastthoughtsofabusymind #podcast #happynewyear #2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJiI7uvlX6a/?igshid=znob9z5np5qa
