Been seeing this floating around so figured I'd join in. My first TTRPGs I played in order would be Marvel FASRIP Paranoia AD&D 2e GURPS Heroes Unlimited Didn't start with D&D because it was eveeevil. Still remember being scolded for looking at the toys in the toy store.

Jtting down some more reminders of things I still need to do for my next #D&D campaign. I need to find pictures of the original Legend of Zelda dungeons After the players die, they'll have to collect some things from them to help among other things bring themselves back to life.

To get something they need to stop a demi-god from rampaging across the countryside they're going to have to die So they'll be doing all this stuff while being zombies, skeletons or ghosts Finally get to use this idea I got from the line "Only the dead may treat with the dead'

you know, I love it when your #TTRPG players unknowingly put things in their character backgrounds that tottally sync up with events I've already written in my campaign it makes it so much easier to make it look like I planned the meaning behind it all along

I do think that "I learned it by watching you!" is more famous. Mostly because it can be used in so many situations On the othert hand the "This is brain on drugs" did get a Robot Chicken sketch youtu.be/gVz2oXqlmbg

ElieNYC@elienyc.bsky.social

Hive mind, settle a Gen X debate for me. What's more famous: "I learned it by watching you" OR "This is your brain on drugs" And if you need more context then you aren't allowed to answer.

Yay! Going to run my #D&D game tomorrow! Marvel as the party join a giant snail race with speeds as high as 2! The thrill of the PCs try figure out which of several dozen fortune tellers are telling the truth! Cower as they have to deal with monsters inspired by a 9 year old!

This just kind've reminds me of whenever a friend of mine orders a burger, plain Just the deer in headlights look he gets from the person behind the counter at like McF'd "So ahh.. no pickles?" buddy: No, plain, I want bread, meat then more bread Cashier: So uhm did you want ketchup on it?

Blargh. Having one of those days. sitting here and I notice that my stove isn't heating up and going "great, what's wrong with it" And then I realize that I never turned it on... *sigh*

19 Sept

Got tickets to see the Transformers the Movie 40th anv showing tomorrow... As of when I bought the tickets it will be pretty much an empty theater

17 Sept

Good idea. I may have to have weird necrotic effects happen with the various altars around the combat map the current fight is on. It'll be fun1 PC: I take cover behind this altar DM: Ok, make me a con save as you suddenly feel something in the altar start trying to absorb your soul

Scott Fitzgerald Gray@scottfgray.bsky.social

FRPG GM Tip: Have a short list of stock environmental effects on hand that can be added to any encounter and that you know how to run. Then drop in one of those effects anytime a fight becomes less entertaining than you expected. Cult battle feeling flat? Time for that shrine of evil to explode!

15 Sept

Bit disappointed that my #TTRPG groups would play them if I ran them, but none of the players wpold be that excited to play the Power Rangers, GI Joe or transformers games I planned out I have a lot of nerdy references in them as plot points, but know that none of my players would catch them

15 Sept

And not to say I don't like my players. I do. I outlined these campaigns because I wanted to(And to get them out of my head) Same reason I wrote out the Star Trek, Shadowrun and generic sci fi (not sure what system to use for it) games I might run them, but eh, chances are slim I'd have the time

Been seeing people put up Optimus Prime quotes with Peter Cullen's passing.. they're cool and all but the quote that comes to mind comes from his brother Larry when peter was coming up with Optimus' voice that stuck with me Be strong enough to be gentle

26 Aug

I really need to get off my butt and get my new #D&D campaign set up on Roll20. Not going to start for a few weeks yet, but I really should get maps and stuff set up so I'm not scrambling when we do start And need to build some monsters. Once again using ideas from @redwyrm.bsky.social .

26 Aug

I've used some of them, void walkers and wibble wisps, with my 2nd group. So we'll see how my other group will handle these monsters and how long it will take them to figure out how the monster's attack redirect ability works #TTRPG

24 Aug

You know, cheesecake in a rice cooker never really occured to me. Welp, guess I have a use for that second rice cooker. Off to look for receipes!

Brian G. aka urbanbohemian 🪩🥂💖@urbanbohemian.com

YouTube showed me a bunch of "Japanese style cheesecake in the rice cooker" videos and I'm about to make that my problem. I mentioned I should bake one for my birthday and this could be a fun and ridiculous attempt. (Thankfully the grocery is near enough to have regular ingredients on backup.)

21 Aug

Dangit... now I want some French Toast

Ye Olde Punk@nehoc.bsky.social

Pro tip: "French toast" you some hotdog buns and put sausage links and syrup in em. This is what Jesus died for, godammit.

This just means that Gail is going to write like a Natasha Kerensky novel or comic in the near future!

Whenever I take over BattleTech, you'll all be sorry.

20 Aug

BWAHAHAHA! gaming group was chatting after game and we started talking old gaming stories. And one of the players may have just "volunteered" to run Curse of Strahd for us She mentioned she prepped so much stuff for it but the group fell through. Well... if you already have it prepped....

Well #D&D was fun tonight. Last session was mostly RP, this one we get thrown into combat. Our fighter died, killed by some mutated gnoll things. After he went down they kept chewing on him He is one of three brothers in the group (He's the middle child) so my PC (the eldest and probably the most

immature of the 3) has taken steps to get him resurrected. He's made a few deals and bargains with groups to get this done. One main task the group needs to do, but we were trying to do that anyways when he got killed. Some of the deals he hasn't told the group about, but it was his brother so he

agreed to the conditions anyways. The way he looks at is HE is the one making the deal, not the group. At the moment he's not that concerned with all that, any repercussions are a Future Him problem.

For some reason I have this urge to play Diablo (The original) or a Diablo-esque game But I don't have one at the moment. I suppose I could hook my PS1 up to the TV... but then I'd also need to find the disc. I think I know which box its hiding in.

16 Aug

The best way to play is always take the safe route. Possible road hazard? Go back to town. Bandits reported? Go tell the local magistrate then go take a nap. Never take risks you don't have to

Name your fav non-franchise science fiction film. Have a bunch of fond memories of this movie from both childhood and again in my 20s And the fact that it introduced "Deathblossom" into the gamer lexicon

Ok need some help with my #D&D homegame. I need names... for giant racing snails. The stupider and punnier the names the better! Whacha got? #TTRPG

24 July

Going to be starting up a new #D&D game soon. Probably within a few weeks. Should be fun, starting at level 1 is going to be a LOT different than running things at 17 One new player to add to the group, not sure how much of a newbie she is yet. Will actually meet her soon. She's a friend of one

24 July

of the other players. so will have 2 Vets, 1 sorta vet (She still doesn't know the system well, but she's played previous editions a lot) a couple who this will be their 2nd long term campaign and then the new girl Should be interesting. Starting at lvl 1, there might be death...

24 July

Well beyond the part where everyone will have to die and become zombies, skeletons or ghosts for a while 😅

21 July

Hey all, I'm looking for any recommendations for #JRPGs for the PS4 or PS5, eh well PS3 as well too Just finished Shining Resonance, and wanted any that were not the big famous JRPG stuff

You know this is an interesting idea. Never really thought about this before, but it would actually be kinda neat Coastal city is obvious but have a large city state and the surrounding area that has no magic. What kind of gods would they worship if even Divine magic doesn't work?

Oregon 🕎🎲@oregonthedm.bsky.social

May your favored settings lore become complex enough that folks can make geopolitical spiritual maps of where pantheons have influence and where they are in conflict with each other 😂

5 July

Welp, finally getting dark, but also raining very heavily. So guess we're not gonna have sky explosions tonight. But that's ok people have been setting off stuff all week anyways

I was collecting X-factor already and when this change over was announced at first I was upset, but the writing of this issue changed my mind Was really glad I was able to get my copy of it signed by Peter David

Oh I wholeheartedly agree with this. Unless you have a plan for it, story beats or some survival mechanic that they have to roll for. Skip the travel and get to the interesting stuff Just say This will take X many days. Is there anything you want to do during that time? No need to go day by day

RPG tip from the archive: Don't be afraid to skip the boring travel parts of an adventure and get right to the meaty bits. #dnd #ttrpg

29 June

Was at the mall this weekend and they were having a card show. Mostly Pokemon, and my god the amount of tables that were ripping people off was astounding Walked by one table with a sign "Will buy 50-70% market value" Why not just have a sign "Buying cards. Will kick you in the crotch for free"

25 June

Random thought of the day. I need 4 fantasy sports team names for my #TTRPG Mageball! Basically soccer but to move the ball you have to use magic, can't touch the ball. You're not allowed to target another player with a damaging spell, but splash damage can happen Anyways, I need names for teams

22 June

As much as people are complaining about the pricing of the Steam Machine, when the PS6 is announced it'll be the same price. Or best case scenerio people will be going "Well at least its only $1200" as if that's some kind of win

22 June

Never before has there been a thing I didn't need that I really need to get

Well guess I'm buying a DC title again. I haven't collected all Legion runs (Some I liked better than others) but I will always check out any new LoSH title

Some of my all time favorites would be the original Secret Wars. Some of the first times seeing some of these heroes team up And then I loved Acts of Vengeance. Especially with Spidey going cosmic in fits and how villains meeting him for the first time weren't expecting that And my favorite bit

Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social

Here is my comics question of the day! I enjoy most crossovers and event comics, some have been among my favorite stories. But no question fatigue can set in, and some are great while some aren’t. What is your all-time favorite event or crossover comic book or series?

18 June

was Dr Doom basically going "If I can't beat Richards then none of you plebs stand a chance and your 'heroes' are beneath me. All of this "swapping opponents" is pointless. so I'm just going to punk Reed at his meeting with Congress"

17 June

I will henceforth be cutting all my sandwiches like the one on the left

Ouroboros@ouroborosop.bsky.social

Kiddo asked for his sandwiches to be cut into triangles. He did not specify that they had to be congruent.

16 June

With all the remakes being made, how come they can't make an updated #ShiningForce game? but its all a second remaster of the remake of the ultimate version of Super Awesome Game! I would love to see a revival of all those tactical RPGs that aren't Final Fantasy Tactics

16 June

And saying this even though I love Final Fantasy Tactics. But its been released at least once on just about every platform (And I own like 4 versions of it). Lets see some other franchises in the mix
