(Streamed) Ttrpg AP is like living in the air conditioner scene in Manhunt (Felker-Martin). If you’re trans femme you’re in active danger by the folks around you and you have everyone else telling you to chill tf out when you are rightly scared.

@evilhat.bsky.social : we're about to crowd fund a game in the style of JRLGs about apocalyptic global threats in a fantasy setting
Me, a weirdo: what if I make an AP about it that's a soap opera about bugs?

Hey ttrpg friends! Put @benpaddon.net at your ttrpg table!
I had a lot of fun working on this. I love playing tabletop RPGs and would love to do more of this sort of thing. Hint hint hint hint hint.
We played Dungeons & Dragons today in front of a live audience at #SDCC. Then we released the trailer for our new actual play, dropping in October. What a day.

The old axiom for writing is "write the story you'd want to read" and that is the biggest truth I have learned in making content.
Yes make it with an audience in mind. But assume the audience that will enjoy it enjoy it want the things that you would want from it.

Seriously don't support wizards any more
Just your regular reminder that there are other #TTRPG alternatives to #D&D that aren't leaning on AI.
You really like 5e, but don't want to support AI? Tales of the Valiant or Level Up 5e.
Looking for an old school vibe without the headache of ThAC0? Basic Fantasy.
Like crunch? Pathfinder. 1/3
