I soft banned myself out of Flailsnails after realizing "oh shit, this is actually not my style at all" because I like the social aspect of RPGs too much for that

My experience of gaming with strangers is a single Flailsnails game that @kutalik.bsky.social ran. I had fun, but didn't spend much time getting to know the other players. So for my limited experience, it feels like a tool to establish compatibility of play styles and attitudes could have value.

I haven’t played with strangers in a minute but there are people from the G+/Flailsnails days that I still have layer in games with as recent as a couple of years ago that I still know next to nothing about

Never played in a flailsnails game g+ mostly because I was playing games that where not d&d back then
anybody remember flailsnails on g+, where someone would say they wanted to run a one-off/marches game in a little while and like six people would bring their PCs? I wanna bring the golden age back. Please repost if you believe the dream! discord.gg/5UYTPuRMR9 #OSR

Well, Lodoss may come together on my server. I could give you a link to the Flailsnails server, but it is dead.

I’m trying to get the band back together, as it were.
A no Zaks club. I’ll try to start a Lodoss one-off in about 12 hours from this post. #Flailsnails Flail snails is a west-marches-ish thing were people bring PCs from other games into your world.

and part of me likes the idea of that but I also think its hard to do without being enforced in a weird and unfun way. Flailsnails was in some ways related to that and I think incorporating worldbuilding is what made it special.

I kind of drifted away from it too after a time and we just stabilized around a couple games. I miss Google Plus more than Flailsnails.

Just realizing that all of my playing with strangers experiences are over a decade and change years ago. Flailsnails had at least a shared ecosystem of games and some level of very loose norms. Like we certainly soft banned people at times.

Honestly, I cannot shake the idea of an Avatar Transfer Protocol--which would be a FLAILSNAILS/ STARSLUGS-like agreement that allows Cyberpunk TTRPG PCs to hop from Virtual Reality "dreamland" to VR "dreamland."
Sorta like Simulacron-3 meets Neuromancer meets Tron, turned up to 11.

I have not seen LowLife 2090 yet!
I am increasingly leaning towards a Netcrawl TTRPG open table operating under the #ATP or #AvatarTransferProtocol — my pitch for a cyberpunk-ish equivalent of FLAILSNAILS / STARSLUGS.

Fair. But the FLAILSNAILS conventions had a pretty light hand when it came to conversions: jrients.blogspot.com/2011/08/flai...

Reposting something from before my discovery of @lectrotext.bsky.social ‘s #Netcrawl. I am working on an Avatar Transfer Protocol (ATP), in the tradition of FLAILSNAILS & STARSLUGS for cyberpunk TTRPGs. CY_BORG, #CyberNet, Dancing with Bullets under a Neon Sun, #CitiesWithoutNumber, et cetera?
Hear me out: cyberpunk / SF open table TTRPG set in a VR as an SF analogue of the kind of dreamlands RPG games that @benlaurence.bsky.social & @mockman.bsky.social run for fantasy. (1/2)

So. Back in 2006, there was a cat called Kiero who posted an RPG.net thread titled "[Theory?] We need a "kickabout" model of play."
Sir, I salute you who identified the problem that, years later, folks tried to solve with FLAILSNAILS, Open Tables, & ConstantCon.

Ha! I almost put flailsnails in that tweet. I agree that flailsnails was like this. But...flailsnails was like a weird experiment with mixed results

okay, say for argument it mattered, if you were to run something like flailsnails or open table stuff with a vaguely b/x flavor, how would a character from knave/vaults of vaarn stack up against yr average b/x MU, elf or fighter, or a dolmenwood class, or joseph manola's "the extras", etc.
