I wrote about some more things I try and do as a player in RPGs to make the games good. Specifically: - have goals - listen to what your other players are telling you they want - reincorporate everything - everyone at the table plays several and/or shares minor characters

RPG Table Skills: Goals, Listening, Reincorporation, and Sharing Characters - Dice Exploder

Today I’m continuing my series on RPG Table Skills: skills that’s going to be used primarily at the table rather than during prep and used by many or all people...

You might find TTRPG’s at your public library at the Dewey # 793.93 Below I talk about the TTRPG's on the shelves at the library where I work. There is a playlist if you would like to hear me talk about books more.

Think I'm going to start sharing a weekly play report on here, just a quick thread every week of what I played a single star from each game. (I suspect this will be more fulfilling journaling/reflection practice than just updating my spreadsheets 😅) Let's kick it off with the week of August 21!

Here's my contribution! I talk about the Indonesian Language and it's role when we play TTRPGs!!! Please take a look!! redforroseline.nekoweb.org/blog/IndoBlo...

IndoBlog1: Indonesian Language

I talk about the Indonesian language, why it's surprisingly easy for English speakers to pick up, and how we use it to seamlessly codswitch during our TTRPG sessions.

17 August 1945 is the Independence Day of Indonesia. I'm not celebrating that. I am celebrating the Indonesian TTRPG scene and any Indonesian TTRPG stuff by calling for an Indonesian TTRPG Blogwagon! afraidofencounters.bearblog.dev/indonesian-t...

The CDC has changed the color coding on its COVID-19 wastewater maps to conceal the virus's prevalence (which is increasing again). Pay attention to the numbers, not the colors.

🚨BREAKING 🦠 On Friday, the US CDC arbitrarily shifted higher COVlD levels into lower categories depicted with cooler colors. Much of what was Very High is now "High." What was High is now "Moderate" or "Low." Low is "Very Low." 1/

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

Just picked up Goblin Errands and shoutout to @sharkbombs.bsky.social for including an EPUB. As someone who almost exclusively reads TTPRGs digitally it's HUGE to not have to squint at a PDF & also to be able to use my preferred dyslexia-friendly fonts. 🙌

It took years (!) by my nearly full rebuild of COMP/CON, the Lancer companion app, is complete. It is, I think, a lot better in every respect. Please give it a try, it's something I've worked extremely hard on.
