It’s been a while- but i found I was missing it - got myself a new #sketchbook and here we are. I decided to take a try at #kelek and the #gargoyl from #ljn #dungeonsanddragons - #fanart #penandink #toyart #ttrpg #fantasyart #monsterart #monster

#ttrpg question- do PC and NPC HP or co dituons need to match- or could you be measuring different things for each type of character?
I find that I logic myself out of good #ttrpg #design ideas before I actually get it to paper. I am learning to tell myself to keep going. Now, I just have to finish the design for a game about an aging rockstar who faked their death!
Years ago whenever I talked about #ttrpg #gamedesign the conversation usually began and ended with “is it balanced, and is it fair?” Now, I notice, at least in the indie scene, that does t matter as much. And I love that!

I really don’t like skill tree (ability tree) mechanics in a #ttrpg. If I have a choice I would probably just not play a game like that. For me this kind of mechanic is unnecisary and makes me have to keep up with way too much in order to play a game.

For me building a character should@be the simplest part of the game, I prefer mechanics that allow you to build complex characters in 5 - 10 minutes.

But of course I also typically don’t like the idea of advancement either, so maybe it is all me.
Went to a small estate date today with the soul purpose of buying this! I have been wanting one of these since my aunt had one back in the 80s! Can’t wait to start playing with it. #instrument #vintagemusicequipment #electronicmusic #omnichord #

Since working on #thegunbelt I’ve had tons of small game ideas that I’ve been sitting on because I really didn’t know how to execute them. A week or so ago I discovered #tunnelgoons by @NateTreme - and now I have notes on 3 small games using it! Thanks Nate!

(TTRPG thoughts) Years ago, I planned an epic #ttrpgadventure out for my game I g group. I searched for a game that would be suitable for the story I wanted to tell (first mistake). I wanted to broaden my horizons with games I hadn’t played. I decided on GURPS (fourth edition) 1

Its not about doing things wrong though - it’s about learning and improving in running and design. I had been playing and running for quite a while, but I was interretested in telling my story - and not in letting the players and the gm tell a story together. (14)

I’m not really sure of the point of this thread - but I’ve been wanting to write that out for a long time - so maybe it’s helpful to someone. (15)
