THIS is so apposite for my #TTRPGTHOUGHTS today.
This is something I hit really often when people ask what I do for work. After two "expectation checking" questions, I usually end up with "I sit in a conference call with a group of people 1/week, for them, and tell them a story."

When you play a ttrpg, do you prefer to play a version of yourself, or someone a bit different, or someone completely different?

How much asymmetry should there be between the GM’s side of the table & the players?
I maintain a list of random thoughts I jot down as they occur & keep until I need them.
I saw that two of them are basically the same. One was:
Different spell lists for goodies & baddies?

How far can you go without having a fight?
It’s become a bit of a trope to look down on combats in #TTRPGs.
#TTRPGs grew out of wargames. Initially they were basically skirmish wargames with players controlling a single figure rather than an army.
Then, as they were…

“You just had to be there.”
TTRPG Games. - the sessions not the rules - are the most ephemeral of media. No two sessions are ever exactly the same.
You can play exactly the same pre-written scenario with two different groups and never have exactly the same outcome.

Should it be in the rulebook? (1) Character Creation
So I’ve decided, rather than do a mega thread about what should & should not be in a #TTRPG rulebook, to post an item every Monday and se how far it goes.
The traditional model I’ve grew up on was Character Creation first.

If a game uses classes or archetypes then there should be a fully generated example PC of each type in the rule book. With a fully completed character sheet.

How about a “request” convention?
With all these people publishing lists of TTRPGs they want to try out - I though “Why not have a convention where people submit requests for games and Referees offer to run games to meet the demand?”
