I'm a big geek. TTRPGs, Comics, Video Games, Board Games, Minis, Toys, Anime, Sci Fi, Fantasy or whatever random thought might work its way into my noggin. #dnd #TTRPG player and GM.

Good idea. I may have to have weird necrotic effects happen with the various altars around the combat map the current fight is on. It'll be fun1 PC: I take cover behind this altar DM: Ok, make me a con save as you suddenly feel something in the altar start trying to absorb your soul

FRPG GM Tip: Have a short list of stock environmental effects on hand that can be added to any encounter and that you know how to run. Then drop in one of those effects anytime a fight becomes less entertaining than you expected. Cult battle feeling flat? Time for that shrine of evil to explode!

Bit disappointed that my #TTRPG groups would play them if I ran them, but none of the players wpold be that excited to play the Power Rangers, GI Joe or transformers games I planned out I have a lot of nerdy references in them as plot points, but know that none of my players would catch them

Been seeing people put up Optimus Prime quotes with Peter Cullen's passing.. they're cool and all but the quote that comes to mind comes from his brother Larry when peter was coming up with Optimus' voice that stuck with me Be strong enough to be gentle

BWAHAHAHA! gaming group was chatting after game and we started talking old gaming stories. And one of the players may have just "volunteered" to run Curse of Strahd for us She mentioned she prepped so much stuff for it but the group fell through. Well... if you already have it prepped....

Well #D&D was fun tonight. Last session was mostly RP, this one we get thrown into combat. Our fighter died, killed by some mutated gnoll things. After he went down they kept chewing on him He is one of three brothers in the group (He's the middle child) so my PC (the eldest and probably the most

For some reason I have this urge to play Diablo (The original) or a Diablo-esque game But I don't have one at the moment. I suppose I could hook my PS1 up to the TV... but then I'd also need to find the disc. I think I know which box its hiding in.

Going to be starting up a new #D&D game soon. Probably within a few weeks. Should be fun, starting at level 1 is going to be a LOT different than running things at 17 One new player to add to the group, not sure how much of a newbie she is yet. Will actually meet her soon. She's a friend of one

You know this is an interesting idea. Never really thought about this before, but it would actually be kinda neat Coastal city is obvious but have a large city state and the surrounding area that has no magic. What kind of gods would they worship if even Divine magic doesn't work?

May your favored settings lore become complex enough that folks can make geopolitical spiritual maps of where pantheons have influence and where they are in conflict with each other 😂

Welp, finally getting dark, but also raining very heavily. So guess we're not gonna have sky explosions tonight. But that's ok people have been setting off stuff all week anyways

Oh I wholeheartedly agree with this. Unless you have a plan for it, story beats or some survival mechanic that they have to roll for. Skip the travel and get to the interesting stuff Just say This will take X many days. Is there anything you want to do during that time? No need to go day by day

RPG tip from the archive: Don't be afraid to skip the boring travel parts of an adventure and get right to the meaty bits. #dnd #ttrpg

Was at the mall this weekend and they were having a card show. Mostly Pokemon, and my god the amount of tables that were ripping people off was astounding Walked by one table with a sign "Will buy 50-70% market value" Why not just have a sign "Buying cards. Will kick you in the crotch for free"

Random thought of the day. I need 4 fantasy sports team names for my #TTRPG Mageball! Basically soccer but to move the ball you have to use magic, can't touch the ball. You're not allowed to target another player with a damaging spell, but splash damage can happen Anyways, I need names for teams

As much as people are complaining about the pricing of the Steam Machine, when the PS6 is announced it'll be the same price. Or best case scenerio people will be going "Well at least its only $1200" as if that's some kind of win

Well guess I'm buying a DC title again. I haven't collected all Legion runs (Some I liked better than others) but I will always check out any new LoSH title

RJ BRANDE IS DEAD. SUPERHEROES ARE ILLEGAL. LONG LIVE THE LEGION. SEPTEMBER. WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF DC COMICS. The future is dark, but the Legion is brighter. Introducing @cleanlined.bsky.social as the artist of the new LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES.

Some of my all time favorites would be the original Secret Wars. Some of the first times seeing some of these heroes team up And then I loved Acts of Vengeance. Especially with Spidey going cosmic in fits and how villains meeting him for the first time weren't expecting that And my favorite bit

Here is my comics question of the day! I enjoy most crossovers and event comics, some have been among my favorite stories. But no question fatigue can set in, and some are great while some aren’t. What is your all-time favorite event or crossover comic book or series?
