I’m @savevstpk on Twitter, and run the blog Save vs. Total Party Kill. This account exists to talk about D&D and it’s friends. #OSR games and all that. I guess I am also obsessed with Warhammer. Who isn’t?

Part of the #torontOSR. Or #StorYYZ when we are playing story games.

Still finding it a struggle to get invested in Mastadon. It suffers from the problems of twitter (short posts, no comments), while also lacking the critical mass of people. The later might change slowly, but I discussion via threads is still disappointing. A shame pillowfort.social never caught on. Feels like a better fit for RPG discussion. Was reminded of it again today.

The new issue of Glatisant just came out, and it’s full of good stuff as usual. https://questingbeast.substack.com/p/the-glatisant-issue-27

You can grab the PDF of Grok on itch.io. The cover isn’t even the best picture in this book! Worth checking out just for the art. Everything else is a nice bonus. Best dollar I have spent in a good long while.

On deck to play Torchbearer next week. Anyone have good advice or resources for players. I have forgotten just how extra this game is. 😂 Brendan wrote about the first edition, advice for D&D players. What else is out there?

“In a dramatic game … not deciding whether you hate your mother or whether you want to poison or sleep with your rival will stall the game.”— Paul T, ethnographer of the #torontOSR. His thoughts taken from discord after running 4 games of Cartel with us.

Like all good reviews, this one is meandering, ends abruptly, and is mostly me talking about myself. Enjoy! I ran 12 sessions of Gradient Descent and have lots thoughts and love for the module. https://bonesofcontention.blogspot.com/2021/08/trespasses-gradient-descent.html

This site _seems_ like a poor substitute for G+. Maybe it's actually amazing, but the fact that everything is seemingly public and you can't comment on posts to keep a discussion organized in one place seems less than ideal. Anyway, G+ is disappearing so need to figure out where to go next.
