In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. "What's that blue flash?"

I'm a huge fan of Roll Brittania and Rusty Quill, so this made me very happy ๐Ÿ˜ Now to really make my year I need @montecookgames.com to make a Cypher System adaptation of Roll Brittania like they have done with all my other favourite shows ๐Ÿคฃ

Today we're delighted to welcome @rollbritannia.bsky.social to the #RQNetwork, a hilarious D&D podcast where six players sail the high seas of podcasting and pirate their way through puzzles, monsters and innuendo traps! https://rustyquill.com/show/roll-britannia/

Thinking about it, I ran the Magnus Archives RPG at the UK Games Expo this year as part of Roll Brittania's Zero-to-GM initiative, which now feels very prescient of me ๐Ÿคฃ

I've gone all-in on this and, to be honest, I don't even really like the proposed chages to the way wounds work. I think it might be time to accept that I have an MCG addiction... www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

It has a fun, playing card-based core system. It's rules for combat are clever, with the players _choosing_ where they go in initiative. I particularly like the fact that the rules for social maneuvering are well-developed, and make politicking a lot of fun.

As the first like was from @tabcreations.com I think it only right that my first game is their excellent Age of Ambition. It's a fantasy game, but set a little later than most; think Warhammer, but hopeful rather than grimdark.

After years of binging first The Magnus Archives and then The Magnus Protocol by @rustyquill.com I am now up-to-date. And let me tell you, I am not happy with my new life ๐Ÿคฃ This new "waiting for an episode" thing is a horror. But _which_ horror, I wonder...

@montecookgames.com I've just seen a BackerKit campaign for something called Invisible Sun: Indigo. I was a bit surprised because I usually get a tonne of emails from yourselves (I've backed many prior Kickstarters ๐Ÿ˜†) when you're launching something new. Is it legit? Very exciting if so!

What a journey! When I started listening to it in season 1, I had no idea it'd be the kind of show that finished with season 5. I still remember the first time I realised it wasn't just a "monster of the week" anthology, and the shivers that went down my spine.

Boosting because this looks like it would be a good option for small sellers struggling to find an EU GPSR responsible person without breaking the bank!

Next up is Shiver, by @parablegames.bsky.social. There are a lot of things to love about Shiver: the dice pool system is fun (dice pools always are); it does some clever things with skills; and the doom clock is a great way of driving up tension. Running it really feels like being in a horror movie!

Next up is my current favourite, Cypher System by @montecookgames.com. A simple system, but one with loads of options for players, and enough mechanical dials to turn that adjudicating even the wildest PC actions is easy. Of all the games I've played, this comes closest to "no prep" for me.

Bluebeard's Bride is a genuine work of art, beautiful in its production and with a powerful message. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to run it, but I'm certainly glad I own it.

Cyberpunk 2020, by @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social, was my second great love. RED is brilliant, but 2020 gets the picture because I've probably spent more time playing it than any other TTRPG. And I'm sure I've spent actual MONTHS of my life making characters with the lifepath system just for fun ๐Ÿ˜†

Game #1 is Lace & Steel by Pauli Kidd. I LOVE this game, it changed the way I run TTRPGs. And the card-based combat/sorcery/repartee mechanic was a huge amount of fun. One of my pipe dreams is to get a (very crude) VTT implementation of it working so I can play it with my current groups.

@ihilate.bsky.social

One of the things I like about Bluesky is that, between lists and starter packs and the lack of paid adverts, it's actually introducing me to new things. Towards the end, the other place was just showing me people I already followed and a bunch of blue-tick nonsense.
