If WotC has any convictions they will downshift this king in 2026. Pauper yearns for the Geist.

Look at this shit. This is peak. We all should agree to skip December and early Jan because Lorwyn needs to be here now.

Enchantment removal in mono red! A nice punisher effect, super flavorful, and in uncommon too! I think making red jump thru additional hoops to have access to unconditional removal is a good compromise.

I have never run into a card game resource system that feels like it covers all bases. Lands have screw/flood, Lorcana is just boring, Pokémon is similar to magic but smoothed a bit, and I have never been a big fan of the "resource deck." It has always felt clunky to me.

Flipping through old decks and found my old modern Death's Shadow deck. One of the many casualties of a post-Horizons meta. Ig I should unsleeve it. 😭

The one thing I will give to WotC is their general acceptance and championing (as much as a corp ever could) of the LGBTQ. Besides some missteps (Chandra Bi-erasure), they've been pretty good on it. Rare W.

Playing against high tide in pauper be like:

I will say this, the media martyrizing Kirk is gross. Even the liberal-left painting him with a whitewash, scrubbing away the many, many edges of him is disgusting. You don't have to shit on him to be accurate in who he was.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Palestine, my family now, who face immense and terrible violence every second of the day.

Looks like somebody did something about someone.

JD Vance and the rest of the WH Staff 23 minutes ago.

Boo! Don't be dogshit!

I wish leftists had as much power as liberals pretend to think we do. I would love for leftists to be able to swing an election singlehandedly!

Played Spire's End: Hildegard with my partner. It's like a card based CYOA game. It was actually really fun, I def wanna pick up the other ones too now.

FreeRPG Day Haul. Too bad my partner had to work at the glue-bottle filling factory today or we could've gotten more.

Made a tamagotchi in blender for my friends and to learn the basics of grease pencil. It came out better than I thought it would! #tamagotchi

Lmao fuck off with your crocodile tears. 😂 "I'm so sad to fire you while I get to keep my job where I fire people."

I just swapped to Obsidian from OneNote for my game design notes. I absolutely hate searching for tutorials or tips on it cuz of the insane amount of "productivity self-help gurus" that populate the space. So many of us think an app will fix us.

Health problems taken care of for the moment, throwing myself deep into design. My AI game is coming along! (without the use of AI, to be clear)

We were playing DND and stopped our game twice. Once to watch the half time show and once to celebrate the birds winning. The first (and probably last) time I've ever allowed football to intrude on our game.

If a solo ttrpg asked you to mark some cards in a regular 52 card deck, would that be a deal breaker for you? Would printable stickers overcome it if it was a deal breaker otherwise?

Having some dire health problems. Gonna work on my games to keep myself distracted and keep my head up. Maybe I'll play Starforged. Anyone got any other good solo games I could play?

Moved all my design and GM notes from OneNote to Obsidian. Really digging it so far, but Jesus I hate that any time I search for anything I get a productivity guru telling me how I can make a billion dollars by using tags in Obsidian. Perish, you fucks!

I deleted Twitter, but if Trump ot Musk die, I'm going to reactivate just for that day. No way I'm missing that.

What's a little flourish in a TTRPG that you love? Something that has no real utility mechanically, but helps make the game distinct. I really like how Shadowdark brings titles for class levels/alignments back. Love titles in general! So flavorful.

I just know getting stomped on by Mario has gotta feel so good.

They want us to give them a bye for this year. "Yeah, we hear you, no more AI. Except for this year, sorry whaddaya want me to do? Take a hit for this?"

TTRPG Adventures done solo's never felt quite right. It's still fun but it's a more GM focused kind of fun. I don't feel much like a player. You lose out on discovery, which cascades into every aspect of the adventure. Anyone have any tips or recommendations for modules that are the most "soloable"?

Speaking of AI, I'm working on a solo horror rpg with a friend where you use AI and become consumed by it, slowly becoming a pale imitation of authentic humanity. V relevant to the last 24 hrs of discussion!

Tell me an underrated, preferably small scale, ttrpg you can't stop thinking about! My one rn is Little Town, I just can't get enough twin peaks.

Playing Under Ashen Skies, noticed this cool bit. I haven't really seen the rules in a solo game take into account actions done in previous areas. Really cool! I'll have to be careful w/ my gun then.

Now playing: Under Ashen Skies. Know basically nothing about it, except that it is "incredibly dark." Interested to see how dark. The character sheet is really cool though, I am a sucker for an autopsy diagram.

Played thru the first day of Little Town in bed. I'm enjoying it, and I'm also playing as Dale Cooper straight up. Lol. Digging the rumor and clue system. Love how it focuses so much on setting the scene.

Has anyone played Mothership solo? Is Thousand Empty Light the best place to start, or should I just roll up with Mythic and ball out? Trying to decide how I wanna approach this.

Rewatching Twin Peaks makes me wanna play Little Towns, the solo ttrpg that says, what if you could play Twin Peaks as a solo ttrpg?

Started rewatching twin peaks the day before Lynch passed. They really don't make it like this anymore do they?

Seen a lot of talk about using AI as a GM or a GM guide. I don't get it. Lots of people say they turn to it when they aren't inspired. When I need inspiration, I watch a movie, read a book, view a painting. And if that didn't work, I would just not run the session until I *do* have inspiration.

My partner is sick so I had to last minute cancel the game tn. But! I finally got someone else to GM a game. I've broken the curse. 8 years of being the forever GM is done. I'm free! All I had to do was say they can make 1 thing from their session canon to the story lmao. Free at last!

Slugblasting went well. A lot of fun! It's honestly super easy to run. Like BitD, it's v player-directed. I'm not sure I'm into the Bite sys, which basically guides GMs into creating problems. I'd rather do that myself. Love the ready-made player arcs for players who aren't as adept at storytelling.

Lmao TikTok taking itself off just to come back 12 hours later. It's like a spouse who pretends to leave just to come back and say see? Bet you realized it'd suck without me!

Anyone who's played #Slugblaster! Looking for a decent VTT to run it in, any suggestions? Nothing came up for it in my preferred VTT, Foundry. 😭 #TTRPG #GMHelp

The Switch 2 marks an possible endpoint of Nintendo's experimentation with the Handheld form. NS2 is the safest, most obvious choice to make. Nintendo Switch, but a little better. But it is a bittersweet moment because Nintendo has always preferred, "Nintendo, but way different."

Bro's kinda cooking on this one. I know it's heresy, but I like everything about Blade Runner except the plot.

In 2025 I think we should encourage each other to play more and play different. This week I am running #Slugblaster, a radical twist on BitD focused on teen drama and kickflips. Excited to lean into the angst! #whatareyourunningthisweek ?

If you're saddened at the loss of Lynch, why don't you do what he'd encourage you to do: Make the weirdest, most sincere art you can and share with it those who need it. Don't take the big risk, take the biggest leap and stand by it. Fight for your sincerity and your hope. Keep your eye on the donut

I just started showing my partner Twin Peaks last night. :/ We just lost of the most unique and interesting voices in the arts.
