24. SLIME (pour Slugblaster)

Dur de choisir le dernier livre, mais après avoir écouté un actual play de folie et la review de Quinns Quest sur le sujet je trouve que c'est parfait :)

Slugblaster c'est des ado qui pour s'occuper font du skateboard dans d'autres dimensions, rien que ça. C'est génial

SLIME, c'est des options supplémentaires pour les perso, des règles, des monstres et des idées. Le thème : biologie, slime, aliens

La présentation est 💯, j'ai hâte de voir les autres

Who else should I be following on Fedi for any of my interests? Any or all of #History, #DigitalHumanities, #WesternAsia esp the #Caucasus, computer #games and game development, #wildlife, #SFF, mythology and folklore, writing, #TTRPG stuff, folk music. And politics but I try not to bring that up too often here.

I've felt things were a bit dry or not things that wanted interaction much when I've checked in lately.

Boosts welcome on this!

Since wrapping up Cyberpunk 2077 a few weeks ago, I’ve been reading through the rulebooks, comparing the differences between versions, It’s so fascinating how the video game uses characters and storylines dating back to the original 1988 game. I imagined the CD Projekt Red game would have been all new storylines and material, but they stuck pretty close to the original.

I have PDF copies of Cyberpunk 2020 (2nd edition, from 1990), Cyberpunk v3.0 (from 2005), and Cyberpunk Red (from 2020), and I’ve actually never read any of them until now. It’s the kind of TTRPG I’ve always wanted to play but never had anyone to run the game, so I’ve had the PDFs but never really dug into them.

Had a super unique #TTRPG experience tonight with an #Aliens themed one-shot.

We played in the absolute darkness. Everyone had small hand flashlights to look at our character sheets & around the game map - a space station & ship experiencing systems outages & an alien outbreak.

It replicated the feeling of our characters using flashlights to look around the ship. We even had a cool paper in a file folder to simulate an xray!

(Used the Never Stop Blowing Up system.)

At one point a shot hitting a xenomorph started acidic blood eating its way through toward the outer hull. We decided no amount of credits was worth this deadly cargo recovery contract with Wayland-Utani. So we abandoned any plans to push deeper into the ship, retraced our steps, fought past 3 adult xenomorphs & sprinted to our ship.

Now to xray each of us... 😅

If you've never heard of #iHunt, it started as a (very fun imho) series of novels about millennials in the gig economy hunting monsters and trying to dodge overdraft fees:

Then it became a very cool #TTRPG:

And now it is a short film trying to become a feature length film! If you can spare a couple minutes to vote (or even better, ~15min to watch the film first!!) that would be very cool!

From a conversation on discord, I always kinda wondered why Palladium RPGs don’t have a retro clone, but I think the answer is: it’s never been out of print (TMNT and Robotech licenses excepted).

I actually played more Palladium Fantasy than AD&D when I was young.

But Kevin is still putting out the same games 40 years later.

One of my players wants to a play a dog person in my Alternity/Stardrive game. Fits in well enough with the setting, but I would like some lore to go with it: can anyone point me towards any dog like aliens from other science fiction settings that I could borrow ideas from? Don't care what medium it is, though, obviously ttrpgs would be the easiest to steal from

This year, I finally remembered to post it! This came around the bird site back in 2021.

When I first started playing tabletop RPGs, there wasn't much more than D&D and Traveler. The person who ran the game was the Dungeon Master (DM) even if there were no dungeons in the game,

Later some games started using the term "Game Master" (GM) instead.

And then Call of Cthulhu called their game-runners "Keepers" (as in asylum keepers I guess), and things broke wide open.

But today, after over 40 years of running games, I realized that I'd rather be called a DM after all: a Dream Manager. Not that I run games set in Call of Cthulhu's Dreamlands (although as a long-standing fan of Lord Dunsany I've certainly used elements from that setting in some of my campaigns); rather, I see games as shared dreams made manifest by the interworkings of the game group.

That also removes the problematic "Master" part of the title, which always bothered me a little.
