I generally use Bluesky to learn more about my favorite tabletop roleplaying games, such as 13th Age.

This is a really, really great interview by Shawn and Teos, which includes Brian talking about why genAI is not part of DDB’s roadmap, and why paper-and-pen gameplay remains essential.

I really enjoyed this episode. It was interesting to hear what's happened in the campaign so far. I particularly appreciated the last few minutes where you tied events that you'd described to your player's Will roll.

Cover of the original 4E PHB

Playing 4E D&D again, it really saddens me that the marketing was such a wedge. I know it was because I hated 4E as a concept before I played it and had to be won over to it. It does so much so well. It really tried to fix all the issues 3E had.

Mystic Suclasses Unearthed Arcana Review! Nerd Immersion YouTube video by Nerd Immersion

While I had to run, I did spend some time going over the latest Unearthed Arcana that released today, Mystic Subclasses. Just to clear the confusion, it is mystic, as in mystical, as in magical - not subclasses for the mystic/psionics. youtube.com/live/k_G_RmO... #dnd #dnd5e #nerdimmersion

I really really love the exciting monsters in draw steel. Ogres that can surprise a grabbed character by bowling them into other party members? Or jump down with a shockwave? Pitchfork catapult? Yes, please.

Here's an interesting blog post about RPGs other the D&D, what they do, and how different systems support and demand different sorts of play. Thirty years ago, this is what I wanted to see one day: lots of story-oriented RPGs on the shelves.

For me, that game is 13th Age. I'm so passionate about it, I'm the editor for its fanzine, Escalation. Members of the 13th Age community sometimes assume I work for Fire Opal Games. 😅

I don't have any expertise in this area, and don't pretend to be equipped to handle a situation like this. That being said, I'd do my best to be a friend, listen to him, and let him know that people care. If you have faith, offer to pray with and for him, and ask others for their prayers.
