Orcusdorkus - Running Impossible Landscapes & Pendragon

It must be because the other kids think my Victorian doorknob collection is so cool…

Ooo me! As an American whose parents moved there. 😅

Sometimes it amazes me how the universe listens, as this memory popped up from 6 years ago after reading this…or it’s just proof everything on my phone is being monitored. Either way, insidious plot it is. 😅

Step One: We admitted we were powerless over edition branding and that denying it was a new edition had become unmanageable.

I remember upgrading my PC at the time to specifically run this game. I know there is a remaster out there and I should probably check it out.

Woot! My game offering at ChaosiumCon sold out a few minutes after opening. 🤘🏻😊

My son passed his behind the wheel test yesterday. Such a tremendous weight lifted from both of us. 🤘🏻😅

Best I could do on my phone without dragging my lazy arse to the computer. 😅

Ran our 20 year jump for Impossible Landscapes today and most of the results read like a failed self-help recipe: A scoop of megalomania, a dash of life optimized into complete ruin, a sprinkle of fleeing mob ties to deal cards at a reservation casino, and a dollop of tin foil conspiracy pursuits.😅

A TTRPG renaissance man, or polymath if you are snooty. 😜 It was such a great conversation.

Tonight we are close to the end of our RuneQuest campaign’s main story arc, and I don’t know if the Alone Confederation will survive! I somehow managed to bring cosmic-horror into our Glorantha, with elder gods fleshed out of the Celestial Court! My Call of Cthulhu is showing! 😅

We welcome Brian Colin of Vast Grimm to chat about its origins, his love of sci-fi horror, the realities of DIY publishing, and the creative philosophy that keeps his work weird, personal, and defiantly independent. Catch it here or on your favorite podcatcher. 😊🤘

I’m a loner, Frodo. A rebel.

Sometimes editing a podcast feels effortless, like the stars align and everything snaps into place with barely a change. And then there is tonight, as if I am trying to build a house of cards in a tornado while the entire deck is on fire.

Calling it a day before I take a warhammer to my computer. 😵‍💫

I have never read it, but the vibes it seems to bring is an adult Bunnicula of sorts, so I am sold. 🤘🏻

Tuscan
Doric
Ionic
Corinthian

Let me guess. Farscape? 😜

Oh there is a list. It’s just time. I am fortunate enough to have many interests and various things get shifted up and down the list at my age. 😅

And, accepted. Woot! 🤘🏻😊

The thing is, just about every credible reference has been siphoned out of many of these shows/movies and firmly planted in the zeitgeist. I don’t need to have seen Titanic to get a King of the World joke, Friends to understand the Phobe teaching Joey meme, or TNG to appreciate Shut up Wesley. 😅

10 Massively Popular Shows & Movies I’ve Never Watched (Some of Which May Damage My Nerd Cred 😅)

For those attending #chaosiumcon in April, I just submitted my scenario, We Can’t Stop Here, This Is Byakhee Country.

Sequined cults. Strange pharmaceuticals. Bad odds. Worse decisions.

What rises in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

The red convertible awaits you Sat April 18th. Hope to see you there. 🤘🏻😊

I see some concerns about maths and the possibility of slowdown, but usually when everyone at the table is invested in the rules, no matter the game, slow down is almost a non issue. But seriously, how long does it take to find the origin of a simple XY graph and say roll under or over this number?😏

Them: So what’s next for your #Pendragon game?

Me: Well, there’s the paternity question with the fae child, sooo…

As a GM, few things thrill me like welcoming someone to a cherished TTRPG for the first time, especially through the glorious chaos of a DCC funnel. Tomorrow night, they learn how the sausage is made. 😅

Chewsday, innit?

Bah! Where does respect and influence get you in the industry? Getting paid $2000 to run TTRPGs in a castle over one weekend? …Well, sure, there’s that …but WHAT else?!
