AuDHD, queer, polyam, demi (he/him). Pantheist, discordian; Futurist, IDIC. Level 54. TTRPG GM & gaming historian: Daggerheart, PF2, AGE & more; Worldbuilding, Tolkien, Star Trek/Wars/Gate, comics, anime, video games (PS5) & general SF/Fantasy geekery!

#RPGaDay 5. Burden I could talk about encumbrance. Others have done this and repetition is the bastard child of tedium. I could write about the burden of prep or juggling the demands of GMing. Other people have written whole books about that. None of these are the TRUE burden of the RPG hobby 1/

I designed several of these, had a lot of fun doing so on a fast moving (if a rather chaotic) stream full of creative folks! Game On! 🧙🏼‍♂️

Here is our addition for this week's #Daggerheart Homebrew Challenge: Duality's Hand (Legendary Item) A huge THANK YOU to all community members who joined the streams and helped design this chonker of an item. I had such a blast with you all and I am immensely inspired by your contributions!

Yesterday had ups (fun stream, sister offering to grab me a Rush concert T) & downs (therapist cancelled 1st appt for family emergency, a minor change in my home). I am ever so tired of Monday being 'meltdown day' however. It's exhausting & takes days to recover from. My coping mechanisms are shit.

Jes the superhuman is at it again. Jes is putting together another amazing bundle for a good cause, so if you have a game that you want out into the world and are willing to help out a great cause please consider this.

I witnessed something yesterday in contrast to the awful, performed masculinities of Miller, Platner, the Tates, etc, that I'm still thinking about. You know most lifeguards at outdoor pools are summer jobs done by college and high school students? I took my son to an outdoor pool yesterday ...

Why Design Isn't Just for Designers: A methodology for approaching homebrew in any system, and how to understand what makes a ruleset tick enough to give nervous GMs the confidence to play with the mechanics.
