🔥 Top post I often hear people say, "my dice hate me!" I think it's important to understand, dice don't have feelings, they are slaves to physics, the complexities of friction and angular momentum the very laws of our physical reality. Your dice don't hate you. It's the universe which hate… ★ 125
In the year and a bit since we released the pdf we have funded five supplements for Embers by other designers and have run an Embers game jam with twenty entries. We also have a small but active discord. If you come and join in will happil… The kickstarter for our rpg, Embers of Humanity is almost finished. We have funded and hit our first stretch goal! We would really like to hit the second stretch goal too so that we can commission some more art, but we only have three days… ★ 1 The Angelic West is a religious themed setting for Embers https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/517598/the-angelic-west Or there's a PWYW Quickstart if you want to have a look before you buy. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/51055… ★ 1 Embers of Humanity, our post-apocalypse community-focused RPG is in the GMs Sale over on Drivethru just now. It includes survivor and settlement generation, and a sample adventure and uses a cut down version of BRP. https://www.drivethrurp… ★ 3 This is well worth a read. It's a compilation of five freebie teasers for the horror rpg Handiwork Games will soon be launching. It is indeed an actual horror game built on top of 5e. If that sounds like a disaster, don't be fooled! They'v… ★ 5 WotC renamed the new D&D half a dozen times. It is a new edition but definitely not 6e. Briefly One D&D... They seem to be going with D&D 2024, which will feel outdated in about 3 months. Some people are referring to it as D&D 5.5, but I a… ★ 4 I bought Compile this morning. It's early days but I think I have a new favourite card game. If you've posted Air Land & Sea or Marvel Snap, it's basically that but, I think, better. And it's very pretty too. @tinstargames I feel like this would make for a great follow-up to The Score. Why aren't there any sit-com RPGs? Half a dozen characters trying to achieve stuff and/or solve unlikely problems while helping or hindering each other. How is that anything but a perfect set up for an evening's RPG entertainment? #ttrpg … ★ 5 My pet peeve is that so much RPG discussion, advice and theory is about mechanics. There is so much more to this activity than dice and rules and yet that's the start and end of so many conversations. Instead we should be talking about pla… ★ 27 I'm thinking about running a long term open table OSR campaign in the shop. Probably using Old School Essentials, although Iron Falcon worked well last time. I have so many adventures to run, I'll just scatter them around and let the playe… ★ 3
