I’ve been thinking a lot about what Laios would do for a living in a modern day au - I’ve seen some theorizing about how his love of monsters/ecology/nature would make him a good biologist. Which is true! But I personally could see him being just Some Guy, maybe a college or even a highschool drop out, who joined and then left the army, working random odd jobs like dish washer/mover/warehouse worker. He visits his college going sibling falin who is so concerned she decides to dropout (even though she only has a bit of schooling left and coincidentally is working to become a biologist/career inspired by something laios suggested once) and get an apartment with him because he’s practically homeless and in a rough state. Then they both get a job at the same place, like for instance….. a card/game shop perhaps?? Or even something that sells funky pops and wall scrolls side by side you know! Maybe even ran by the short and super young looking chilchack whose “secretly” a good boss/cares about his employees?? 🤔🤔

Like I just think laios would be just some guy who ends up discovering a rich world outside of trying to pay rent in this world in creating his own characters and worlds in things like dnd and the furry fandom. He is a great artist although members of his tabletop group don’t always appreciate him making their characters or themselves fursonas …but drawing monstrously beautiful creatures representing someone’s self is practically a love language for him so they accept it however begrudgingly.

Inadvisable tabletop roleplaying premise #137: parallel Dungeons & Dragons/Blades in the Dark campaign that takes place in a setting where all unclaimed treasures are legally the property of the Crown, so adventurers who just pocket any loot they find in dungeons are technically stealing from the king. Play alternates between running tactical dungeon crawls in D&D to obtain the loot, and running capers in BitD to launder it.

Yesterday we finished our first complete DnD campaign, after 4 years of adventures! We lost people, we found people, we got betrayed, we won tournaments, we punched demons and we even found love... it was pretty ✨EPIC✨!

Wanna dungeon some dragons?

Another round in BG3 of wondering "Why am I so damned encumbered all the time?" only to sort by weight and... oh.

Grand Census (1987) is one of Digest Group Publications’ most important approved third-party Traveller supplements. It is certainly one that clearly displays their design chops — flipping through this, it’s no wonder that GDW would want to bring them in on future Traveller design work. DGP understood Traveller in a way few outside designers ever managed (compare to the pap produced by Judges Guild, for instance). There is a wealth of well thought out material here.

Contrary to the name, this isn’t a catalog of planets. Rather, its a book to help catalog planets. The first half is concerned with exploration and the initial contact of sentient alien species, complete with methodology, ethic and helpful equipment (and a lot of very nice, clean technical art by Rob Caswell. It is a guide for both how to run and how to play this sort of encounter and it is great for any science fiction game, I think, if only for the section on defining and determining sentience, which is a heck of a deep think.

The second half of the book is a replacement for and massive expansion of the Traveller world generator. Table after table allows you define a world’s culture, their laws, their taboos, their unusual behaviors. If I had this in 1987, I would have played with and tinkered with it constantly. The compulsion to do so in 2022 as I write this is strong, too, I gotta say. And again, this is tacitly aimed at Traveller, but the tools are essentially system agnostic. You could probably use it for fantasy games too. Honestly, it’s impossible for me to not see this book as somehow anticipating or influencing the abundance of tables that make up Stars Without Number.

I’m immune to Typo In the Group Chat syndrome because if I ever make one that’s really worth ragging on I’ll just write a tabletop RPG about it, and now every time you give me shit about it you’re promoting my work.

I absolutely love the idea of the League of Evil Exes just as like. A chaotic friend group. Especially after post-series when everyone's just chill and there isn't technically a league anymore but they all continue to hang out because they genuinely enjoy each other's company

(doesn't mean that them hanging out doesn't end in total disorganised disaster all the time though)

i love being the notetaker for my games, because like. it’s such an easy way to make your friends happy. it’s so easy to get excited for the story they’re crafting and show your excitement by writing everything down. it’s just a cheat code for telling your friend you’re invested in their creation. it’s so simple. they’re talking? you’re writing. just like that you’ve looked deep into their eyes and soul and said, “the things you make are worth everything to me”.

and the best part is, it’s super useful too! being the notetaker means you have all the information at the tips of your fingers, ready for you to need it. There’s none of the DM repeating the things they’ve said and feeling like you don’t care enough to remember. you can just whip out your notebook and tell everyone exactly who this NPC is, or where you can find certain rare items or somesuch. and it makes theorizing so much more fun! i feel like a detective flipping back and forth and scribbling new notes in the margins. doodling maps, sketching diagrams, hashing out new theories and uncovering connections.

D&D campaign

Hi, to all the fellow D&D and tabletop players out there. I am currently looking for some players to start a new campaign. I ask that everyone is 20+

The synopsis of the campaign includes exploring cosmic horror and mystery, and typical d&d shenanigans. It is set in a homebrew world, with access to homebrew races and classes. I will be leaving the link to fill out the application along with the hook for you all.

Each and every one of you have since had a run in with a god of death. Whether it be you finding yourself in an accident, you were murdered, you had a hand in taking your own life, or another method. Whichever way you found yourself to the gates of the underworld, ready to face judgement and see which afterlife you landed up in... An entity inferred. Before judgement could be passed, this entity returned your life to you and slighted death. It offered no grounds of refusal, and demanded you play this game and have a second choice at life. In return for doing so, it would grant you one boon of your choosing. Would you like to be the most intelligent person alive? Would you like a cursed object? Would you like the ability to see through glamors and reveal a divine being in human disguise? The choice is endless on what you could ask for. It seems more than happy to complete your request. The only catch that comes with this opportunity? You cannot ask for its name and true identity. You all thought yourselves the only ones but... you find yourself all with the same invitation, asking you to the same place. You find one another, and perhaps, just perhaps, you might be able to put your heads together and begin undoing this elaborate mystery you find yourselves in.
