Hey #Tabletop #RPG folx! I have an #AskFedi for ya!

GMs: What is your top tip for running good games (that *hasn't* been mentioned yet)?

Players: What's something your GM has done to make the game awesome that you wish more GMs would do (that *hasn't* been mentioned yet)?

---

I'll start (with one of each).

As a GM, I use the 3-act play / 5-room dungeon style as often as possible. It keeps things tight, makes for satisfying progression, and can be scaled to work for almost anything.

As a player, I was shocked the first time a GM of mine rolled some dice and said "you hit, and it takes Blorp out of the fight, what does that look like?". Every GM I'd had previously would've just said "you kill Blorp". That one question has made playing characters *feel* so much more epic.

I have this nifty "doctors bag" roleplaying bag. It contains basically everything I need except a rulebook to run or participate in a pen and paper game.

And it got a bit hard to find stuff in there. Gridfinity to the rescue!

A small-ish zippered up black bag with a few pins put on it (One for example sports a white cat holding up a knife, with the words "say that again", the other has a wide eyed cat painted with a pride flag) The neoprene mat has been taken away, now one sees a few pens, rolls and a notepad from "The Order of the Stick", with Elan the bard apparently banged up, running to the dwarf shouting for a "MEDIC!!"
The bag is open, and there is a bright red neoprene mat that can be formed into a dice tray. It is has the words "MURDER HOBO" written on it, although one can only see "DER BO", as the mat is folded in half The notepad is gone, now one can see a bunch of dice and the pens and other things. Everything is in small square or rectangular stacking bins

Wowee, I finished watching the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime (2022) and the whole thing felt like a gut punch. Not as much because of the bombastic action, but because the intense tie-ins with the Cyberpunk: 2077 video game made it mostly at odds with my own play-through, which was focused on non-lethal and stealth.

Now I would really be interested in a campaign of Cyberpunk RED with level 0 runners fumbling through their first job. Although I know it's a lot of work so I won't expect anyone to do it for me.

#RPG session coming up this weekend and I'm going to throw my players in to one clusterfuck of a shootout. They're supposed to pick up a mysterious cargo at an unmarked airstrip in the woods. They'll be ambushed by the cops, and by a rival gang who wants to steal the cargo.

Unless they ruin my plans by just surrendering or something.

#RPG people: can you grok this with a fast skim?
(page is shown in 3 parts for ease of screen-reading)
Rules show a roll of 3D6, and you add each intersection, then check results. 2, 3, 4 translates to 2 + 3 = 5 3 + 4 = 7 2 + 4 = 6 6β€” Magma streams in the mountain’s heart flow eternally, and mix with underground rivers, producing a great plume of steam at the top. Some tunnels contain steam- traps, where a metal grate will ring the β€œdinner bell’, and allow hot steam to flow in to cook the intruding predator 7~ A tin seam allows dwarves to mine, and trade with nearby settlements. 8~ In the dark Labyrinth below the mountain, extensive underground tunnels, filled with fungi, moss, living oozes, skein, and umber hulks. With enough traps laid out for the monsters. this cre- ates a kind of rough garden, or *hunting ground” for the dwarves to gather additional food. It also provides dyes. which dwarves use to tum their beards and hair green, yellow, or blue, depending on their wealth and gender.
2 - A king rules this population. Dwarves consider this bad luck, but the king promises to have a daughter and let her take his place in the next generation. 3– Gold seams run through the mountain, allowing the dwarves to make precious items, and to trade with overland peoples. 4– A Hall of Records stands at the base of this moun- tain, guarded by heavy doors. It works a little like a library, but only contains factual accounts of the things dwarves take interest in, such as facts about rocks, the lineage of queens, descriptions of how to farm on mountains, and techniques to measure altitude. Each book has a minimum of three seals, pressed a dwarven record-keeper, who has verified the authentic- ity of every statement in the book personally. 5– The β€˜Polite Passage’, is the name dwarves use for the long, thin, bridges they create, with only room for asingle dwarf to walk at a time. Settlements have one for entering. and another for exiting, Larger rooms around the mountain’s exterior store wide equipment, such as wagons. 9~ 1D6 farms extend outside the mountains, across the fertile lands at the base. The dwarves create them with high stone walls, and polish each brick until it has nothing to hold onto, and no way to climb up. Inside, may allow as much space as any bailey to grow vegetables for the mountain. 10~ An elevated barley garden around a third of the way up the mountain, provides food for the settlement. No- body can see the gardens from below, as it grows on steps carved into the mountain. A series of rock-bells will sound when anything steps on them, but do not ring in response to the wind. 11β€” Aniron seam allows dwarves to create quality weapons and armour. If they have no road out, then they only make rare, wholesale trades. 12β€” Half way up the mountain, shepherds take sheep and β€˜goats on long walks, then put them safely away at night, 10 sleep in stone rooms.

2051: SolarPunk Odyssey
As ecological succession unfolds, a solarpunk-ish community travels in search of a new place to live.

On February 29, 2024, we submitted a project to the Chaos Computer Club competition for a grant for an artistic work depicting a utopian vision of a community in times of chaos.

For obvious reasons, we believe that TePeWu is creating and realizing just such a vision. So we asked ourselves what might be happening to our community in 2051 - and we intend to provide the answer in art form. You can see details of our project here: https://tepewu.pl/en/2024/03/2051-solarpunkowa-odyseja/

Bicycle caravan travelling along dusty plains road, from nowhere to nowhere. Three oldtimers in a postapo-hippie-tourist outfit against a fuzzy backdrop of a dilapidated settlement.
Three rugged outdoor persons sitting in front of a cabin with two vigilant dogs. A vague postapo feeling, perhaps just before they hit the road. A madonna-style picture of a young mother with child, vaguely solarpunk-styled, against a backdrop of hazy skyscrapers and space structures, forming a kin of halo around their heads.

A digital painting of a character design: a female character stylised as in JRPG of the end 90s. She has a golden shield carved, a golden metallic staff with a rubis that also has a blade like an axe. She wears many gears and her clothes are large and themed around a tangerine color, leather, white linen and red. License: Creative Commons Attribution.

Diablo II (2000) is the first role-playing game I’ve known to give fighter classes the same amount of ”spells” as the caster classes by leveraging unique weapon skills and special movement techniques rather than purely magical spells or scrolls.

I definitely have mixed memories of table-top role playing game sessions where players with caster characters were frantically flipping through the extensive spell list of the Player Manual while players with fighter characters were recounting their dice over and over for lack of a better thing to do.

This panel by @davidrevoy captures my ultimate #tabletop #RPG fantasy. I've had plenty of sessions online, but I would kill for a comfy weekend playing #PenAndPaper with a bunch of friends.

I don't care that I'm almost 31. I want this!

Digital painting: 3 girls (young witches) are sitting in a very comfortable looking bedroom. They are surrounded by lots of dice, papers, candles, figurines, books, coins, fruit, mugs. They all wear pyjamas. The rightmost girl is saying: "Come now, Don't pout! I know you're only trying to defend me... ... but there's no need, we're only playing!"

1. Change the rules when they don't fit what you want the world to be like.
2. Don't stress about balance. Throw too much danger (monsters, traps, big untracked wilderness) at the players, just leave them some room to run if they can't handle it.
3. Let them hire help, but don't give them anyone more powerful or flashy than they are. They gotta do it themselves.
4. Don't tolerate behavior you don't like. In-party fighting, etc. you can just shut it down.

Dear #rpg playing fediverse,

I haven't played any rpg for more than a decade because of LackOfGroupError, and now I've been vaguely thinking it could be a good time to try to start one campaign via jitsi/videoconferencing.

Any recommendation on a game system we could use? Is Fate the current freely licensed cool things to do? (also, where does one start from for that? core? accelerated? condensed?) or is there anything else I should look into?

After a recent interaction with the police, I've noticed them:
  • Asking me the same questions over and over, to which I gave the same answers.
  • Laughing with each other even though we called them because a stray bullet landed in our bedroom.
  • Walking and standing around my apartment as if they owned the place.



It took me a while to figure it out, but I realized that the police are LARPing in people's homes, treating them as NPCs. And it is completely in line with the "us vs them" mentality they've displayed since protests against police violence started.

Now, I'll admit some were considerate and serious, but lately I'm more and more inclined to think that it is in spite of their job and training.

The man who run's GameScience a popular #rpg #dice company, just sent out a marketing message, which was a nationalistic screen against #immigrants, #socialists and #anarchist; and given the timing was probably a dog whistle signaling their support for cops.

Stop buying gamescience.
