Taking a break from running TTRPG games has given me mixed feelings. I love playing them, but I put too much of myself into prepping and I have limited time. But minimal prep feels like a disservice to the players, and I have a lot less fun.

Having a hard time convincing myself to run games again.

@j8-bit.bsky.social asked me for help with their #balatro mod, so I made 3 cards for it.

I like making stuff in this style, honestly. I should revisit this style later, I suppose.

Had a good NetBattlers session last night. Was mostly lore but I made it in the form of news articles and NY Times style game answers so my players enjoyed it!

I don't want to be a gloomy person! But I regularly shut the doors leading out because of strict criteria I hold onto. The consequential loneliness and self-hatred reached a peak last night. I can't share the contents, but I feel the need to shout into the void anyway.

I think more options and variety is the answer. Like, the board game post was an attempt at that. I haven't had the time to do it again. Hopefully we can pull in more people before I have to crash into bed

I look forward to these a little too much, is the issue. When we have to skip or it feels like a session wasn't great, it really hits me for a while.

Also realizing that, because my free time is so limited, I'm putting all of my social eggs into a few ttrpg baskets. Since I run one of those games, I feel like the fun starts and ends with me. When I can't prep, I get really stressed. Maybe that's not a healthy mindset.

A tournament arc is a cool sidequest for my battle network campaign, but designing interesting 1v1 fights is a challenge. Most of my ideas seem annoying to play against, lol. InvisibleMan sends his regards

cute!

my group usually runs because I don't care if I'm down a player (it's usually the same guy who doesn't show up)

Basically? I need a new group, I think. I'm already running one game, so hosting a second one isn't good for my fragile psyche. I need to prod people and see if someone's in need of a player.

Taking psychic damage from how often the same TTRPG group cancels. I hardly do any socializing because of kids, so having one of the blocks routinely taken away is driving me mad

fighting with my wife everyday is eating me alive. And I can't even drive off a hill because my son needs me. We're both just so tired and fed up with being broke

Self improvement is too hard, bro. I can't even afford my cost of living. Now I'm supposed to afford to wrangle my damn Id?

blasted

If anyone has an idea for how to approach this, let me know! Or if you've seen any good systems for this idea, I'd love to read them!

It is tempting to use an OSR style system for the online game, then a separate one for the offline characters. That sounds like too much on the players to remember, though.

Brainstorming my next campaign for whenever NetBattlers is finished. That probably won't be for a while, so I have time to shop for a good system. I want to run a game about MMO players, both in/outside the game. The main systems I've found a good fit are .dungeon//remastered and Infinity's Edge.
