For all the newbies that have rolled in, here's an #introduction:

I'm a hobby game developer, and I've been developing the GUTS+ RPG system over at https://gutsplus.tk

I'm running a #GUTSPlus campaign on #RoleGate that you can #readAlong with (or join if there's openings) if you want:

I also play #DnD 5e, I love Adventure Zone and Critical Role, I mostly read fantasy and scifi, and I'm willing to help you with #Mastodon!

Also @Alamantus is my main!

Dark Souls is Not fun. And it's not supposed to be and that's fine. But I like playing games that Are fun. Anyway I'm glad I got my copy on a big sale.

The first time playing #Catan is always rough, but it was my first time winning! I played white because I didn't realize the 5-6 player expansion had green in it...

I won with the largest army and a victory point development card!

I finally got to play Tokaido, and I love it! It's such a pleasant little game about collecting experiences on a journey with pretty art and cool references of Japanese culture, but obviously it's a competitive game so you have to play strategically to reach the experiences you want to get!

I love it and want to play it again with role playing added for each stop in the game next time! But that requires me to play with my role-playing friends instead of my family lol.

Whew! Pandemic Hot Zone is hard! It's a minimized version of the original Pandemic so it goes a lot faster, but things get out of hand really fast! We played Hot Zone North America and only beat it once out of 3 times, and we didn't even play with the "Crisis" cards that make it harder! 😬

I'm playing 6 Nimmt, and it's super interesting! The rules are super simple, but the results of different outcomes of the choices you make are crazy!

I tested the first draft of Mall Mascot Madness, and it was really fun! I played a propeller hat mascot for a hat store who was very strong and wild, and I ended up losing very badly lol. I do need to find a way to balance certain elements to discourage some strategies that make the gameplay boring and maybe figure out a better way to balance stats, though.

I hope I'm able to figure things out before my mind loses interest!

Ok, so the #GMLess #TTRPG idea is Mall Mascot Mania! The inspiration was Peerless Food Fighters (https://yarukizerogames.com/2013/01/04/peerless-food-fighters-2-0-pnp/), but designed to be more general and less potentially racist/sexist!

In Mall Mascot Mania, you take the role of a brand new store's mascot in your local shopping mall to help them bring in as many customers as possible and get them a good star rating! The winner is the store that can best manage the rush in the end when the hype overwhelms the mall!

I found a GM-less TTRPG that sparked outrageously strong inspiration for me to make a similar but expanded game. Unfortunately I found this inspiration riiiiight before going to bed, and now it's nearly 2am and my brain is buzzing with ideas. 😬😴

Anyway, I'll share my idea tomorrow after I hammer out a few more details!

The Make a Wish foundation would be quite a thing in #DnD, wouldn't it!

I put together an #AIDungeon scenario for you to play in semi-#cyberpunk Felicity, and it sets up the scene pretty well using world info and memory!

https://play.aidungeon.io/main/scenarioView?publicId=cb884ad0-1f25-11eb-b1ef-770ee8464e6f

I'll probably make more tweaks as I learn how to use it better, too!

I've been playing with the AI Dungeon for a couple days, and it's outrageously impressive! I set up an adventure in my pre-cyberpunk city of Felicity, and I've had to get my character, Alonna, out of some pretty intense situations so far!

Check out #AIDungeon if you haven't already. It's like a year old now, and it's really pretty amazing!

Hey in D&D would a fiction author adventuring for story inspiration be a lore master bard or something else?

Oh. I can't. Dang it!

Hmm is this the day I start actually watching #CriticalRole? The podcast is behind a week, and I really want to know what happens next......

It took a little while to build up imo, but now that I'm listening to The Adventure Zone: Graduation again, it's gotten really interesting! I apparently stopped listening just one episode before the shoe dropped because episode 14 really kicked off something super intriguing!

I haven't bought his yet, but the description and idea of this light system sounds really cool! It's intended for play-by-post, which is itself really interesting and cool, but in doing so, it kind of removes combat by turning it into a single success check that can then be role played. It also features traits/descriptors instead of stats, which anyone who knows me would know I'm a big fan of.

I don't really have anything to say about it, but I wanted to share:
