What if we participated in some collective escapist fantasy in the form of sitting around a table and sharing the process of storytelling as a group for the next few months or longer provided the whole thing doesn’t fall apart due to scheduling conflicts? 👉👈

I feel the desire to start a new large scale project. The only issue is, I don’t know what that project is. I have a few ideas I put on the self a while back. Maybe it’s time to dust them off. Might be reaching out to some creators for a few of them.

I want to learn to run Vampire: the masquerade exclusively to run a “what we do in the shadows” game. I’m tired of cool, emotional vampires. Let’s have fun with more eternal idiots and their antics.

Had an idea for a stream where any viewers who are DMing a campaign can send me their players character sheets. Then we live build a combat encounter for their campaign with their players in mind. Is that something that sounds entertaining/useful?

I’m feeling that weird itch to stream again. I need to find a way to do it consistently without my ideas becoming too convoluted to manage at the start. Small ideas and build up regularity. Then I can do the crazy stuff once I get going. Now I need small ideas…

I’m not saying I want to, but… If I were to make a book of supplemental material to 5e, it would be setting agnostic. There are too many things out there that are “how to play in my world” and not enough “how to play in your world”. More tools, less finished products.

I love the inherent comedy that erupts at every D&D table. I have never seen anything bring a group of people to tears from laughter as much as D&D has. Its almost perfectly designed to foster inside jokes and ridiculous situations. If your table never laughs, thats a red flag.

It turns out that instead of ignoring something till the last minute, you can tackle alittle bit of it every day so that way you’re not overwhelmed and stressed out. If only I learned this BEFORE I turned 32. It would have added years to my life.

For anyone who has run/played in a west marches style campaign: How did you handle players signing up for too many consecutive sessions where others didn’t get to play? Were there limits on how many sessions a player could attend in a row? Did your group ever have this issue?

My manager just (not so subtly) implied that our team should have an updated resume in the coming months. In unrelated news, I will be starting up a patreon for my content in the next few weeks. Time to get “Shickadance Studios” up and running.

I'm obsessed with the idea of a Monster Hunter x Dungeon Meshi D&D campaign. The more I think about it, the more it appeals to me. Exploring an untamed world, encountering and understanding the creatures there, and possibly having to hunt them to survive? Sounds fun to me!
