Today's IxChel's Smite 2 PTS release and I wanted to jump in to drop her ability descriptions and numbers before today's Titan Talk, keep in mind these are subject to change.

a great first time vending at a convention! so much fun getting to talk with people about their rpg journey, especially getting a chance to teach what a solo and world building game is! good amount of folks picked something up as their first adventure beyond D&D! now I need to order some reprints!

I'm hacking fun and magical ttrpgs at Southern Fried Game Fest featuring goodies from @koathedm.bsky.social and @enniogoes.bsky.social. Come by to Pick up Prequel, Afterworld, and others!

what ADVENTURES have the best boss fights in ttrpgs. I'm not talking about systems that recreate a boss fight like Hollows but standard systems that have a "boss level" encounters. Doesn't necessarily have to be combat, could be an encounter with multi-step puzzle/environmental/social design.

thanks to Gab Fernandez at @wargamer.com for their article on This game brilliantly uses that premise as the emotional foundation for storytelling...Though vastly different mechanics, it does remind me of the best horror tabletop RPGs such as Ten Candles. www.wargamer.com/prequel-ttrpg

Marathon and Highguard both launched into a wall of negative public sentiment. Both peaked around 88k players. On paper, same story. But one rebuilt its narrative over six months and the other shut down after 16 days. So what actually happened? 🧵
