thinking again about how to scavenge editing techniques to make it easier and more satisfying to keep track of retcons in a tabletop campaign, especially solo ones.... hmmmm

I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS AND I'M SORRY WHAT. WHAT. LITERALLY ONE OF THE LAST THINGS I SAW THIS PERSON POST BEFORE I BLOCKED HER EVERYWHERE WAS APPEALING TO THE ANTI-CENSORSHIP FREAKY KINKSTER CROWD TO DEFLECT CRITICISM OF WANDERHOME'S UGLY-LAW ETHOS AND SHE *WHAT*
We *are* talking about someone who broke into the industry by fomenting a campaign to make a nonbinary CSA survivor seem like a predator because of TTRPGs created as a result of processing and coping with their abuse, so... yeah.

JESUS THAT'S FUCKING TERRIFYING. FANTASTIC
Late last night had the house to myself so for the first time I tried a solo TTRPG (got a copy of Bear Witness from @rufflejax.bsky.social for blurb) and it was an experience

(Also first time I got to do improvised acting on mic/camera since GONE)

(Lord I need a haircut)

you know what. there need to be more ttrpgs out there that encourage the player to visualize the goings-on of the narrative in claymation style

..........taps my chin at this as a potential method for emergent puzzle/adventure designs in solo ttrpgs
One of the (if not THE) most useful tool for designing adventure games: The #PuzzleDependencyChart. Don’t confuse it with a flow chart, it’s not a flow chart and the subtle distinctions will hopefully become clear, for they are the key to it’s usefulness and raw pulsing design power

sucks when you're watching a ttrpg youtuber who has genuinely useful advice, but is so consistently, needlessly mean and condescending about it--not played up as part of a character, just radiating 'do it this way you stupid fucking idiot 🙄' at the screen--that you stop watching anyway

ttrpg idea: in a game that revolves around murder mysteries in a small town or similar, have a playbook that's oriented toward charisma, respectability, getting things done through connections and small talk, etc But. when their stress track fills up they start enacting Random Violence

the more i see of the misogyny reeking off of deathbringer's marketing campaign, the more i want to write a shadowdark-esque grim fantasy setting where the player characters are all fucked up old women out of sheer spite. morally shady deal-making battle hags on my desk by tomorrow etc

sees a solo game that gets around the AI disclosure filter by making 'consult an AI to figure out how many calories are in this meal' a mechanic in the god damn game itself. Explode Your Head With My Mind

me, seeing racist, queerphobic right-wing christian propaganda in the solo rpg tag on itch: downloads it to laugh at and then reports that motherfucker to high heaven

short version of my opinion re: ttrpg incentives discourse is a previously expressed opinion of mine, which is that a lot of games/supplements feel like *leavings* of a creative process while advertising themselves as a tool to *enable* creativity, and it is Extremely Frustrating

ttrpg idea: game set in a final fantasy style world where each of the PCs is on a journey to become a summoner for One Very Specific Godlike Being each. what actually happens when they succeed is up in the air

my grouchy tabletop opinion of the day is that if your game has a trauma or 'scars' mechanic in it, you need to take a good long hard careful think about whether you are repackaging all the much-discussed ableism of sanity mechanics with a condescending faux-progressive coat of paint

honestly though i think one of the reasons i am eye-rolling harder with each consecutive ttrpg manifesto i see is that they are trying to unironically appropriate the tone and weight of *political* manifestos, which concern *institutional issues that impact people's quality of life*

makes a tabletop game about the frustration, alienation, and grief the cozy genre makes me feel as a disabled ND survivor of abuse, neglect, poverty, homelessness, and just plain shit fucking luck
