A newly unboxed copy of the game Blood on the Clocktower

I've caved and bought something. Now I just need to convince enough people to actually play it with me! #boardgames #botc #bloodontheclocktower

Good morning ☀️

Payday means shopping for new board games/TTRPGs!😊😊😊

Finally got around to watching Keijo! and unserious ecchi of this degree has no right being this good. #anime

I finally broke my losing streak of Roll for the Galaxy (my dad always wins >.<). 58 points and a tableau of beautiful worlds! 🥳

I'm not usually a huge fan of games with lots of dice/card draw but Roll is an exception, it has some great mechanics to mitigate/control RNG. #boardgame

Hardly see anyone talk about Brigandine, great choice!

I figure this is a good way of getting myself comfortable with being seen again after some years of lurking away at home. If I'm serious about publishing things, I need a low-commitment, low-cost way of building up comfort and getting that dopamine flowing again!

Step one of getting back to public writing: I started writing a new Quest on Sufficient Velocity! forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/sola...

For those who don't know, Quests are a sort of GM-run Choose Your Own Adventure story where the audience vote on story elements and key decisions.

I definitely recommend giving it if your players like games that lean into roleplaying and story over crunch, and don't mind dying (average lifespan of a character is about 4 sessions according to the book.) The books are well put together and have some great GMing/playing advice for any TTRPG tbh.

I'm in a roleplaying mood this week, time for #ttrpg focused #promosky for possible moots!

Some non-5E faves in no order:
- D&D 4e
- PF2E
- Heart
- LANCER
- Star Wars (FFG)
- Mothership
- Ten Candles
- Mage
- Warhammer Fantasy RP
- Call of Cthulhu
- Apocalypse World
- Blades in the Dark
- Exalted

They eventually cured him and got back to boarding, but for a time my little one shot plot was derailed in ways I never could've imagined. I love how this game gives opportunity for players to both create clever ideas and have their ambitions turn on them. 10/10 would Mothership again.

Chaos ensues as Roboticist and AI Engineer struggle against their creation to kill them with a broom. They shut it down, but the scientist collapses vomiting from the poison pen's injection. Boarding party is delayed and at this point we're crying laughing as he is rushed to medbay.

#ttrpg

Now this thing is basically a junk bot, so I look the Roboticist in the eye (he designed it) and ask what weapons it has. He looks back and says he's duct taped on his poison-injecting fountain pen and a broom. So it stabs the AI scientist and starts beating him with the broomstick.

On a crit failure in Mothership I am compelled to make this go very wrong, so I decide that they successfully install the combat drone software, but activate it without properly configuring its Friend-or-Foe targeting. The POW goes wild and starts attacking the AI scientist immediately.

5/8
#ttrpg

If you're not familiar with Mothership, skill rolls are hard - most of the time you're more likely to fail than succeed. They manage to build the body fine, but when the AI Engineer installs risky experimental combat drone software, they roll 99 (worst possible crit fail). It begins...

The crew's 2 scientists want to help, so they decide to build what we're calling a POW (Probe On Wheels), a land drone to scout ahead of the boarding party. They're MacGuyvering this out of spare parts and a space probe, and they're hurrying. I decide it's risky enough to roll dice.

3/8
#ttrpg

Everything was going more or less fine until the players boarded a damaged freighter, broke into a highly restricted section of the ship, and got attacked by bloated, distorted machine/man hybrids. They made their escape and decided to re-enter the ship from a different angle...

Mothership RPG Looking to buy awesome tabletop board games like Two Rooms and a Boom, That's Not Lemonade!, World Championship Russian Roulette? Or maybe you're looking for our sci-fi horror RPG (roleplaying game) M...

Started a short Mothership adventure with my local group yesterday. If you're not familiar, it's a really fun sci-fi horror TTRPG with strong 80s retrofuture vibes:

This session was crazy and I recommend the game!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you're having a good one!

I should probably clarify no hidden objectives, rather, as Nemesis isn't exactly a hidden role game, rather a semi co-operative game, while Fate of the Nostromo is pure co-op.

I'd describe the gameplay as sort of Nemesis lite. No hidden roles, simplified gameplay, shared 'health' system, simple characters/equipment. It's easy to set up and learn (took maybe 15 mins?), and it's fun playing the Nostromo crew, but not as replayable or tense as Nemesis IMO. Still pretty fun!

After two attempts, my parents and I beat Alien: Fate of the Nostromo by flushing it out the airlock! It was a fun game; light weight and easy to learn, but more brutal than I expected. Apparently there's a Director's Cut of the rules that's even harder, so we'll have to try that next! #boardgame

tonight's mood

おめでとう！！

It's always a great feeling when the one shot and the group gel and want to keep going! Good luck!

Good luck!!!

Oh my goodness? It's finally happening!!

Think you could help unlock me? (Im scared I made my goals too high 🥺)

I dropped my little obsidian fox charm necklace while changing in the bathroom and its ear completely broke off. Forgive me Inari-sama!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

Humble Software Bundle: MAPS Extravaganza Revisited Bring your tabletop games to life with amazing maps! Get the industry-standard map-making software Campaign Cartographer 3 and a host of others!

Recently picked up the Mapping Humble Bundle. Chiefly interested in playing around with Campaign Cartographer - but I have a megadungeon design in the works for an upcoming game. Looking forward to playing with Dungeon/City Designer and see how they compare in speed and quality to my other tools! 😸

It's increasingly clear that Lists are important to using this site correctly, but I'm still not sure how to ideally set them up or how best to go about discovering the right kind of people to put on relevant Lists. 🤔
