My theory: AI is being pushed as "AI" and being humanised so that when bad decisions are made, these corporations can deflect blame onto it.

The Letterkenny RPG is doing really well! I'd thought about maybe making a joke about a Shoresy RPG being "a rap battle while playing air hockey at the arcade" but maybe I need to give that a crack

My partner has had a number of Letterkenny earworms lately. Creativity ensued! Its not done yet but it'll go up on Itch when it is! @producestandpod.com @letterkennyreddit.bsky.social

Me: "I NEED to sit down and put the finishing touch on Bushpunk." Also me: "Yes but what about a one page ghost murder mystery game? And a new expansion for Critter Caper where you can be petting zoo dinosaurs? Or the Steampunk playtest?" Me³: "Hey what about a Letterkenny hack of Kids on Bikes?"

@ifycomedy.com fam i know you're in Perth this weekend if you're down for a chat about like, mental health and D&D

Hey @larianstudios.com hypothetically if someone had been running Baldurs Gate 3 as a D&D campaign for the past three years would it be okay to share the notes with the community so they could also?

I am going to create a series of one shots under the title of "The Siege of Baldur's Gate", and each oneshot is going to count towards the final battle of my D&D BG3 campaign Cannae heckin wait.

Me: "Whats Baldur's Gate's harbour capacity..." *Google's 'Baldurs Gate ships'* Google: Shows me entirely Romance based results Me: "I have made a blunder of wording."

I spent a lot of yesterday preparing for it. We may not get to this stage this year, but its gonna need that tier of prep work. The question is, with an army led by mindflayers and necromancers, what bizarre tactics would be seen in the Siege.

My Baldurs Gate 3 D&D campaign is approaching the end of Act 3 I could build the Siege of Baldur's Gate as an entire campaign istg I've enjoyed siege missions since my first time playing Lords of the Realm and Red Alert. I am having too much fun setting this up

Why wasn't Victorian Era Vampire a bigger deal? Its wild that this era doesnt have so much coverage. Watched the 2010 Wolfman tonight and my mind is racing.

Started reading through the Star Trek Adventures book and I'm loving the idea of playing a Klingon chef but contriving reasons for him to be involved in the away team missions might get tricky. I'd imagine there's multiple citations for honour duels about bad review. Klingon counsellor, though..

Played Starfinder Afterlight's demo tonight, first time gaming in a couple of months! What a treat - day one buy from me.

So @modiphius.bsky.social had a sale and I HAD to add to the repertoire of games available for therapy. I'm ENTIRELY planning on using Star Trek for an ethics and philosophy workshop series! #startrek #Dune #ttrpg

Preparing a V20 Dark Ages game; Usurpers of Constanta, following the other clans' investigation into House, now Clan, Tremere.

Thrift shop FIIIIIND Hell yeah

Seeing tattoo artists offering services for trade and I'm like - I can't do it as a therapist but I can do it as a GM :D

Would there be any interest in a ttrpg about teams of mech pilots fighting back after being forced into gladiatorial events to sate the bloodlust of the tech oligarchs who now rule the world from their bunkers?Think Hunger Games meets Robot Jox Asking for a friend. Its me.

I'm proud to announce that I've just published Heroes & Hearthfires, a TTRPG about epic adventurers settling down to open a tavern after the completion of their quest. H&H uses a 2d12 dice system to bring Order vs Chaos to the game mechanics. downunderverse.itch.io/heroes-heart...

Practising the cover art for my upcoming game, Heroes & Hearthfires, a cozy-chaotic game of mythic heroes running a tavern. #ttrpg #dnd #indie

I had an incredible time running the Hope's Last Day scenario of the Alien RPG by @freeleagueunbound.bsky.social The fact the game is like "Hey if theyre dilly-dallying around or being hypercautious HERES A LIST OF WAYS TO MAKE THEM MOVE" Gang had an incredible time. There was much yelling! :D

Hacking Daggerheart a little to write an "adventurers settle down and open a tavern" game Should be fun!

vt.tiktok.com/ZSVtVk62G/ An update on my BG3 D&D campaign, Rise of the Absolute! I should've posted about this entire damn campaign BUT last night my party struggled against Gortash SO they called Raphael and asked for his assistance he requested first choice of loot He has taken the Steel Watch.

My Baldurs Gate 3 campaign continues tonight! They snuck in and got the warlock crowned as archduke of Baldurs Gate and now theyre gonna get into some *kingdom management*

Playing an RPG I wrote (Critter Caper DOWN UNDER) and a player crocodile ate most of a five gallon barrel of spaghetti *the horror*

Tempted to do a read of Dungeon Crawler Carl - might post about it. I'm fascinated by it though because what I hear about it doesn’t really interest me but the rate to which it grabs readers IS really interesting.

I'm *highkey* tempted to run some non-therapy professional games and run things from specific niches Like my Call of Cthulhu "The Mummy" game, my D&D 5e BG3 campaign, the Game of Thrones TTRPG and other specific experiences.

Someone on Tiktok said that they'd like to play D&D every day and I'd like to say that as a DM - I'm IN. Let's go.

I need a #BobsBurgers episode plot where Mister Fischoeder is entertaining the idea of allowing a Burger King on/near the Wharf, which causes Bob a great deal of stress. But upon learning there IS no such burger monarch that he could meet with, Calvin completely cancels the deal.

Hey fam! I'm running a brief workshop on running horror TTRPGs and how you can navigate player safety in games that can approach heavy topics! Monday 21st, hit me up! #vtm #cthulhu #ttrpg events.humanitix.com/storyteller-...

Doing some comparative reading to determine the differences between D&D 3.5 and the WoW TTRPG. Its fantastic how the Swords & Sorcery team really built on 3.5 and made a kickass game. Hoping the D&DxWoW game brings this energy.

My BG3 D&D campaign hit a wild new high last night Our Warlock successfully assumed the place of G and was crowned Archduke of Baldur's Gate. The defence is gonna get WILD

I'm strongly considering a TTRPG actual play podcast. I've had a couple good runs on Twitch and wanna get back into it. But I gotta figure out - what to run? :)

CAPCHA: "Find the squares with a motorcycle." CAPCHA immediately shows a vespa. CAPCHA: "DO YOU FEEL LUCKY?!"

Need a vibes roll in an RPG and you're not sure what to do? Pose it as a yes/no and ask a Magic 8-Ball.

I've spent tonight writing a Delta Green Opera based on the TV show Alone, where survivalists brave the elements and isolation. I'm *intrigued* to see where it goes.
