Antagonist Relations (Zack)

A floofy gray cat with dark tabby facial markings sits in a nest made of a cat perch, a blanket and a stuffed Ikea dragon. A man's hand reaches in to give her scritches after she meeped softly.

As someone who played in this one-page #ttrpg where everyone is a familiar trying to plan the ultimate holiday gathering for their vampire overlords, I can confirm it’s an UNHINGED holiday hoot! 🧛🏻‍♂️🎄Get it now for whatever you’d like to pay and make your friends play it this holiday season!

Last year I quickly wrote up a 1-page #RPG in the style of the classic Lasers & Feelings to run for 1 of my in-person groups & this year I decided to give it a quick revision to polish it & published it as a 'Pay What You Want' game.

Since they're five years old & I'm not doing much #5eDND anymore, I've decided to drop the price on each. Maybe they'll still be interesting to some players & DMs who feel the call of ice & snow like I often do...

Both were heavily inspired by the old HR1 Vikings Campaign Sourcebook which was one of my favorite splatbooks to read and re-read as a child.

The 2nd was Runecasters of the North which had my own runic magic system that I devised.

The 1st was Heroes of the Icy North...

The far north is a brutal place, a land of harsh weather and dangerous enemies; it breeds a different kind of adventurer who has adapted to the high mountains and frozen wastes of the north.

I named my fists DUNGEONS and DRAGONS because there are many other fists, most of which are more suitable for whatever you want them to do.

This thread is the perfect example of what I mean. The quote is pulled from an entire conversation about wokeness in D&D. The author ignored the consensus (wokeness is fine) and cherry-picked the one comment he misread as confirming his thesis.
www.reddit.com/r/DnD/commen...

This is a huge part of why so many people think we're in the middle of a widespread "anti-woke backlash": Small movements opposed to social progress are collected into trend stories by conservative media. Far larger movements that want more diversity are ignored or cast as threats.

if the 1984 version of D&D had been about romance and feelings, would the Stranger Things kids have had any interest in it?

Sex on TV proves a turn off for Generation Z Survey finds young people feel ‘platonic relationships’ are overlooked and consider TikTok the ‘most authentic’ form of media

It's also just incoherent? The author says focusing more on romance than adventure (this is based on a single marketing image btw), D&D will lose its appeal to teens because teens hate sex now. But the entire premise of the piece is that there's more young people playing D&D.

The second piece of evidence doesn't appear until 2/3 of the way into the story and it's a random tweet from an account with 3,000 followers.

Even by the standards of anti-woke journalism this is lazy dreck. The first piece of "evidence" that older gamers are mad about wokeness is a random Reddit comment — that isn't a complaint about wokeness.

When you actually make creative things, working through one idea is the birth of two more ideas, hydra-like. When you DON’T do the creative work, *of course* nothing new springs up in its place.

I've run 2 sessions for a group that previously played Brindlewood Bay, & they have been a blast & I'm looking forward to starting up a 2nd campaign with an online group after they finish a Hunter chronicle.

As a GM, I found it incredibly easy to grab the books & run a session with minimal prep.
