Hello! Previously serious boardgamer and rpg player, now harried father of three, enjoying #boardgames with friends and kids, including #coop and #story -infused tabletop games. It's a golden age. #introduction

I tend to write more about making games and such on dice.camp, but I'm more active here, so a couple of links:

* "Deeds, not Words", a GM-less game for 2-3h one shots, about the amazing suffragettes, but generally about activism: http://hardcorenarrativist.org/items/deedsnotwords

* "Black Wolf", my (very derivative) game for dark fantasy. Kind of a more narrative variant of Call of Cthulhu, adapted to the genre: http://hardcorenarrativist.org/items/black-wolf

* RPG software and scenarios I've written, and more: http://hardcorenarrativist.org/

Hi everybody! I'm in my early thirties. And working as a new product designer on a company. Have a 5 year old boy. It's been apx. 20 year since I start writing. And I've always been a big dreamer! Loving #fantasy and #scifi books, #tabletop games, #movies, #tvshows...

...

All those in #RPG and #OSR land. We have two great community resources for great articles for both your standard #DnD (elf games) and #scifi rpg's.

Thanks @kensanata !!

I'm trying to resurrect the #OSR #RPG Planet: https://campaignwiki.org/planet/
If you have an OSR blog and you want to be listed, let me know and I'll add you.
If you think that enough people outside the OSR might be interested in a similar blog planet, I'm willing to host it if you are willing to maintain it... We'd probably keep the information on a wiki page for you to edit or something.

I just saw this #OSR Mastodon instance!

Quick #introduction!

I'm Tobi, I'm agender and in my 30s, I live in Germany.

I've been playing Tabletop RPGs for about 15 years now, but not regularly in recent years 😦

My favorite RPG setting is #Agone (French, early 2000s), of which I own a complete collection ✅
My favorite rules set these days is #SavageWorlds.
I am also a big fan of #TheOneRing.
Historically, 3.5 is my most-played RPG.

I love #TheAdventureZone (no spoilers!) and #OrderOfTheStick!

Let's be friends! ​

#introduction

Hi, my main account is @medic

I'm a brand new DM for D&D 5e and I wanted a place to post about the campaign I'm writing, but my wife is a player, and she follows my main account so I don't want to spoil anything for her. I joined tabletop.social to bounce ideas around and get help and inspiration for this campaign.

#introductions

Hey tabletop.social!

Amalia here, or Amy for short (she/her, tyvm 😁). I'm a MSc student (CompSci), software dev, and a book nerd to boot 😆

I speak English, Spanish, French, and next year I'll take on Japanese :fist_up: I like all forms of art, especially classical music e.g. WoW TBC.

This is my first (open) social media account - I'm terrified of what's out there! But I chose Tabletop thanks to my DnD friends 😛

#introduction

I'm maenad from elsewhere.

I DM 5e a lot at local game stores and have a solid interest in "storytelling games" which I apparently call "weird games" because I like weird games.

Wanted to hang out somewhere with likeminded nerds :)

#introduction
Here mostly out of curiosity (with a pinch of boredom) and for tabletop RPGs. I'm all about collaborative narrative, cheap melodrama, and rule-light systems.

Since I'm here, it's worth mentioning that I'm constantly looking for players for my ongoing indie one-shot night (and probably more). #playerswanted #berlin #PbtA

Hey, so I just wanted to say this as an artist. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't be an artist. Not even yourself. Anyone can be an artist. If you want to be one, then do it! I am red-green colour deficient and I have really shaky hands. But I still do art because it's what makes me happy. Don't let anyone tell you you can't do art. Because guess what, you can! And I believe in you!

You know, it’s weird. I act completely differently on here vs on Twitter (using the company account). It’s so much easier to interact with people here than there. I suppose because it’s a smaller group that have common interests, so it doesn’t feel like I’m shouting into the void.

Anyway, glad to be here with y’all! (and oh yeah look at my stuff 😜 http://bit.ly/2gqvI9Z )

check your casual abled speech, please

https://www.autistichoya.com/p/ableist-words-and-terms-to-avoid.html

"but everybody does it, therefore it's valid"

no and no

"that's not what i mean though, i don't mean it in an ableist way"

also no and no

words mean things, etymology is real

Help is out there. Ask for it if you need it.

#introduction #rp I’m a blacksmith from the world of Semphalin. I have the ability to travel through many of the planes including the fire, earth, air and terra plane. I speak the common tongue and also some ancient language no one can understand 🙈

So y’all remember that idea I had a bit ago for a role playing instance? Yeah, that’s happening. I’m still getting all the backend stuff set up, but you can start thinking of characters if you want. Genre is urban horror/weird fiction. Think vampires & werewolves with some Lovecraft & SCP Foundation & Men In Black. Setting is a city that’s a cross between NYC & New Orleans.

I’ll post the instance’s name sometime in the next few days, once I get the code of conduct & stuff all typed in
