Court overturns QLD ban on gender affirming care for transgender patients

Happy to see it’s doing well!

If you're running an RPG campaign, a great thing to do is to maintain some kind of journal of characters the PCs meet but also to give them star rankings like they were gacha game characters

Oath of Moment 【OATH OF MOMENT】 An Astartes Roleplaying Game They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be...

SURPRISE!

I had an idea on Tuesday for how to do the Perfect Space Marine RPG, so I wrote the Perfect Space Marine RPG.

It's both a shitpost and a dead serious game. And it's, uh... 34,000 words long?

Anyway enjoy!!!

RPG Review: This World Summons Too Many Heroes!!: Definitive Edition | This World Summons Too Many Heroes!! This World Summons Too Many Heroes!!: Definitive Edition (TWSTMH from now on, because I value my fingers) is a 2025 Kickstarter-funded compendium of the 2023 second edition of a 2021 RPG by Nick “Duff...

"If you’re amused by the concept of several hapless doofuses from 21st century Earth bumbling around in a medieval fantasy world with cheat powers, this might be the diversion you didn’t know you were looking for."

Thanks to Chris Casey for the review!

Content-wise, there’s quite a bit here, a lot more than you’d expect from a high-concept comedy RPG in fact. Locations and NPCs, from goddesses all the way down to a kobold with a gun (who will shoot you, with his gun), all come with a passel of motivations and story hooks. Of all the parts of this game, I think the world as presented is surprisingly my favorite bit. It’s not always consistent, but it’s consistently entertaining. What more could you ask for really.

Kobold With a Gun getting a lot of love, as is appropriate

It’s Heroing Time! And then he heroed all over those guys To build your very own isekai hero, start by choosing an Archetype. The Bystander: Whoops! You weren’t even supposed to be here today, but you were standing too close to someone else being summoned or were hit by Truck-Kun and got sucked into another world by accident. The Demon Lord: Evil cultists summoned you here to rule the world, but you didn’t care for their vibe and you look terrible in black leather, so you dipped. The Hero: You were brought to Ceria to defeat an ancient evil. You blew through that quest easily, of course, so now you’re just looking for something interesting to occupy your time. The Myth: You’re never alone; there’s the spirit of a great Cerian hero or magic beast in your body. Once per adventure you can flip them in so they can wipe up the bad guys for you. The Noble: You occupy the body of a previously existing high mucky-muck, who by all accounts was kind of a snot. Now you have to navigate their life and maybe make things better for the people around you. The Reader: Ceria was the subject of your favorite book or video game in your past life, and you know more about it than even the people who live here. The Reincarnated: Only your spirit arrived, without a body. Unfortunately the summoning spell doesn’t do “making a human body” very well, and you now have the form of something completely different. Tragedeigh The Tragedy: You were summoned by someone very bad, who used you for very bad purposes. You managed to escape but now you have terrible scars and trust issues. Each Archetype includes a choice between two special background-style benefits. For instance, the Noble can choose either Disowned Heir (get better starting equipment) or Villainess (any attempt to bully people always uses your best Attribute).

SomethingAwful’s FATAL & Friends forum thread has a pretty good write-up on This World Summons Too Many Heroes!! right now, including my new favourite summary of the archetypes in the game:

CRINGE WIZARD: A TTRPG Isekai Light Novel A light novel about a guy forced to live through the terrible TTRPG campaign he ran when he was a teenager.

Less than a day to go on this. We're already funded so this is basically a victory lap now, but here's your last chance to get a fun story for cheap:

I had a player at PAX make a minmaxed Assassin + Tricky tag build and I’m very relieved that it’s now working properly as a minion/drop farming class instead of a stunlocking angel of death

Every time I have used the phrase “affects enemies with 5 HP or less” in this book I have done so out of fear of your Powerful Aura (in-game and otherwise)

Anime Sickos: 75: The Sickos Design the Perfect RPG After hundreds of hours playing JRPGs, the video games where anime is spreadsheets, the Sickos compile the best parts of the genre that must be present in order to create the perfect JRPG that will st...

Dungeon Tower was of course inspired by @animesickos.bsky.social Episode 75, an important work of podcasting that made me go “damn I’ve gotta get these guys to write a ton of JRPG enemies”

animesickos.libsyn.com/75-the-sicko...

Fun fact - these notes from Chiaki pretty much directly led to the Goddesses and Season of the Sage expansions. SotS especially answers these questions about Muto while bringing back that “yearning for home” theme to reflect that he’s an old-gen 00s hero in contrast to the modern player protags

Glad you’re enjoying! Just letting you know I have done TTRPGtuber interviews before 👀

Thanks for your support! I hope you get to put a game together

Y'all, I'm so excited for this book! Like, I was already looking forward to playing it some time, but now I learn one of the sample PCs is a fellow trans woman?! 😍

I NEED TO PLAY! LET'S FUCKING GO!💖🏳️‍🌈💖🏳️‍🌈💖🏳️‍🌈💖🏳️‍🌈

Some more from the second day:
- a minotaur who shouts painfully loud
- Tyler Noll, The Painkiller
- a vampire who makes her magic teleporting butler do everything for her
- a black knight who can heal himself but only if he does a corny cheerleader dance

Look!
The cuties! >w<

Some isekai heroes from today’s PAX TTRPG sessions:
- a healer with white girl dreads who realigns chakras so bad it hurts
- a snake with rune fangs
- a mum who learned karate from VHS tapes
- a Sword in the Stone that has not been pulled out and just gets carried around half inside of a boulder

Hi Chris - sorry, this was one of the things that I didn’t quite have in time for launch. The art has been sketched and is being finished now so it will be in very soon!

The cover of This World Summons Too Many Heroes!! with a lady knight, a short wizard in black, a catgirl in a maid dress and a short furry monster with a big backpack all outdoors on an adventure.

Here’s the full cover as drawn by @limelemons27.bsky.social! All of her previous covers for the franchise appear as artworks throughout the book too, including her art of the goddess Launrith, Sage Yuya Muto and the villainous Glitched Adventurer.

Double spread of a TTRPG ruleset with two characters - Carla Frei, a dark haired necromancer with a witch hat and a green tome, and Chiyo, a silver haired girl with sakura blossoms through her hair.

Here are some of the new example characters in the game, with art from @satrathai.bsky.social! Carla is a necromancer trying to create a better world through undead labour, while Chiyo guards an ancient magical cherry blossom forest and calls on its magic to help her fight.
