#Introduction

Hi! I’m Plugs and this the account where I post about games, books, films and other things I’m interested in.

Currently that’s ElderScrolls.

Last time I post about this so as not to continually spam my instance but just want to give it one more chance on the federated timeline.

We're starting a writers group for people to motivate and critique each others work, loosely organised around meeting every couple of weeks and chatting between times. Any type of writing and any experience welcome. DM me and I can give you links!

Hey people who write, anyone else interested in starting a writers group? We have a few people now but always looking for more to help us get off the ground.

Theres no pressure its just to give us soft deadlines and accountability to keep practicing and get some critique and help each other out. Probably discussions online once a fortnight or so but in a way thats persistent so it can be added to, with timezones and stuff its not always easy to meet at the same time exactly

Does anyone know of a good system for running cyberpunk ttrpg?

My regular group wants to celebrate 2020 by doing a series of cyberpunk one-shots. I'm completely down to run a game with openly anticapitalist themes, but the systems I'm most familiar with are D&D and Traveller, neither of which really suits (Traveller can do cyberpunk reasonably well, but I don't find that it suits the one-shot format).

Although I've played Shadowrun and Eclipse Phase, I'm not sure I could run either one well, and I don't know GURPS at all.

The sort of game I'd like to run would be more social- and narative-focused in a cyberpunk-themed setting, with less emphasis on the combat, hacking and infiltration stuff that I'd generally associate with cyberpunk ttrpg.

It doesn't even have to be a specifically cyberpunk system, but I'd rather not have to do too much homebrew, especially if it's not a system with which I'm already familiar.

Want to know why we are making an alternative to mastodon ?

Here is what we have in mind https://parast.at

Hey Fediverse, is anyone good at making mods for Tabletop Simulator? I have a fragile, poor-condition copy of an elderly, rare board game. It’s not a good game, but it’s historically interesting and I would like it archived for the good of the world. I have the rules, the parts, and a flatbed scanner; what I don’t have is TTS mod experience or knowledge of the right way to lay out a zillion tiny cards on my scanner and then do I flip them over in place or mirror the layout to get the obverse?

So there was a mass Scottish migration to Masto last week and now I'm hearing there's one from Spain today.

I for one welcome our refugees.

I just realised there is a german instance on role playing games rollenspiel.social

#HardshipRiver is a one-page, one-move #pbta #ttrpg with no MC! In it, you and your traveling companions sail in the Little Tail boat down a very dangerous river, hoping to reach the great Unconquered City by the seashore. As you overcome each stretch of wild rapids, you discover why you're traveling, what's your cargo or why do you really care for your companions. https://dr3amup.itch.io/hardshipriver
