The alpha for the new edition of Vampire: the Masquerade has me excited, but I also have...opinions about the contents of this new edition. Join me in today's video, as I talk you through my tops, flops, and "hmmmm this sounds interesting" of the V6 alpha! youtu.be/08bSiVhx0w8

Gotta bring in Captain America for some ground rules in this video.
Markus aka The Chindividual@thechindividual.bsky.social · 3d agoWhile I thought this script would be way more opinionated than it turned out, I'm still both excited and a bit anxious to start recording this one. I just have FEELINGS about this topic, ok? 😅
Happy new Phoebe Bridgers album day to all who celebrate.

Knowing when to just say "no" is one of the most important skills to develop as a GM.

MY DISCO BALL IN THE BEDROOM IS SHOWING ME THE ECLIPSE, HOW COOL IS THAT?!
CEO: "This all hands is important, so everyone has to be in the office for it!" Also CEO: "Oh no I'm joining the all hands online from my vacation house in Italy."
Some European games we've never had on @euphoriaap.bsky.social, in case you need some inspiration for our pitch form (open now!!) Fabula Ultima Tales from the Loop Eat the Reich Paint the Town Red MORK BORG (HOW??) Discworld (do it for ME) (Not promising these would get greenlit, just some ideas!)
Being in your late 30s means accepting the fact that yes, you should have skipped that final glass of wine no matter how "fucking delicious" it was.
This one's free for the taking: I do hope someone is studying the Vampire: The Masquerade edition transition that's unfolding presently. The playtest seems a fine opportunity to study participation, how D&Dism is resisted, and how consensus/community around themes/titles are maintained.
Elizabeth-Marie Helms@kleidouxos.bsky.social · last wk.Your email finds me yearning for the projects that aren't on a swiftly encroaching deadline, but we both know this to be illusion, don't we, my friend? All will be consumed by the calendric hegemony.
COMING SOON! @in-the-pan.bsky.social, @jcdarcy.bsky.social, and @michellicopter.bsky.social team up to change the world - again! EUphoria's staff get to play @sdrgames.bsky.social 's Why We Fight and show you how to build a crew, roll up a mission, and create your journey as you go.

Working on a script for a VtM-related video, so what better music to have on than this?
I have a few thoughts about the VtM 6 playtest, and they are way more conflicting than I thought they would be. I really find myself going from "oh this is interesting" to "wth were they thinking?!" a lot. I consider this a good thing.
It's been a while, but it's time again for a post blood donation cuppa!
D&D surely is the lingua franca of Actual Play, just like English is the linguistic lingua franca of Actual Plays. That doesn't mean you can't introduce people to new languages. Just like "actual" languages, the more TTRPGs you "speak", the more colorful your experience in the hobby will be.
Ever wondered why there are / were TWO Worlds of Darkness? Well, wonder no more! Join me on a little TTRPG history lesson, as I explain how we got two different WoDs, and how one came back and ended the other.
Why are/were there TWO Worlds of Darkness?!

Come for a deepdive into a curious awards case, stay for banger quotes such as "Constant growth being measure of success is a capitalist lie". This video is great!
EUphoria Actual Play@euphoriaap.bsky.social · 2w agoIn 2025 the CRiT Awards announced that winners would receive prizes provided by sponsors. A year later, the prizes haven't appeared. Michelle asked sponsors, winners, and the CRiT Awards team what happened - grab a cup of tea and a biscuit and settle in to hear the whole story.
If we interpret "iterating" as "removing the mechanic and replacing it with 3 more things to track", then yeah V6 definitely gives me what I was hoping for...
Markus aka The Chindividual@thechindividual.bsky.social · 3w agoOh and iterating on the Hunger Dice system because that mechanic absolutely SLAPS but could use some fine-tuning!
We had the pleasure of chatting with @glitzydemon.itch.io about their game 'A Field of Sunflowers: In Memory of the Roma Holocaust' and how sunflowers can bring laughter. This interview will be available on August 3rd on our YouTube and streaming on our Twitch at 7pm BST/8pm CEST
