Definitely! It doesn't all need to be spooky, dark, and horror filled; even for Halloween!

Oh for sure! I just struggle to really do horror well in that kind of setting. *shrug* With so many other games to run, I definitely don't sweat not being able to run horror at a con/flgs (and do a good job of it). πŸ™‚

I've definitely done that at both cons and one of my local game stores. It's so far been a good time, except that I've learned I don't do well running horror in settings like that; for a variety of reasons, that's a weakness I have.

Honestly? That's kind of how I feel about things in the U.S. presently, hence the overwhelming anxiety. 🫀

I very well might. I live in the U.S. and am pretty frequently overwhelmed by anxiety around what's happening here.

Aside from having health insurance, the one thing I miss from my days as a teacher (especially when I was #teaching at boarding schools) was having a consistent group & schedule for #ttrpg sessions.

I think Free League’s Vaesen supplement *Mythic Britain & Ireland* might be kinda, sorta have some options? Not really what you’re looking for, I think, but might scratch that itch a little bit?

Shadowdark does this pretty well, I think.

Started with D&D Basic then Expert sets in 1982. In 1991, Vampire: the Masquerade was released, and my view of what ttrpgs could be was forever changed.

The best way to help indie developers is to talk about their stuff.
Marketing is a full time job and even then we are at the mercy of the algorithm.
Word of mouth has a huge impact.

I feel like Pathfinder/Starfinder, i.e., Paizo, has achieved close to that same level of non-indieness (a word as of now. Haha), maybe?

Re: Free League. It's great that they have gotten some incredible IPs to make games from, but they also have their own IPs (e.g., Vaesen). Most important is the quality of the products they release coupled with price points that are very approachable, especially for their starter sets.

WotC/Hasbro has certainly done a lot of "not great" stuff, especially in recent years, but they also do stuff like this. #mtg #tcg #transrightsarehumanrights

TTRPG Question of the Day

Do you ever consider the mental & emotional impact violence has on your PC?

In many TTRPGs violence is a given. Sections of the rules cover combat but what about it's other effects. Does your character sleep soundly or have nightmares? Do they compartmentalize to deal?
