Random TTRPG thoughts #2

Happy Friday readers! Today I share with you the random firings of my mind. Join me as I sink into the chaotic 1 abyss that is my imagination. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

  1. I was listening to an interview this morning and had a sudden thought about what it would be like to convert my novel into a TTRPG. That was weird.
  2. Having two of my old 2nd Edition AD&D books back in my possession is so wild. It’s like having an artifact reminding me that a previous version of myself existed.
  3. I’ve now done four Dragonbane videos. It is safe to say this game has sparked something for me.
  4. My Numenera session got cancelled this week, which made me sad. But we rescheduled for November 7 so at least I don’t have too long to wait 2.
  5. I’m really excited for some upcoming interviews. I just need to settle the dates before I can announce the upcoming guests for Skipping Lunch!
  6. We need a third party source to post “TTRPG wish lists.” It would be handy for GMs who would like to ask for games for their birthdays or other gift-giving holiday, but know their family members hear TTRPG talk as if it were the teacher in Charlie Brown.
  7. I have backed far more kickstarters than I ever thought I would be able to back, and by the end of November three should be in my hands. Yesssssss….
  8. Last night at my Basic Fantasy RPG table the party had a mission to prevent something on a cart from reaching a nearby village. They were all set to blow it up, when they discovered a missing party member was locked in a cage on said cart. Plans changed 3.
  9. I’ve now run six different systems as a GM, and played in two more. This is not a large number, really, but it’s more than a lot of the folks in the hobby get to play and that makes me happy.
  10. Having a favorite game, or favorite style of play, doesn’t mean that other styles or games are garbage. Pass it on.
  1. Good.

  2. Put your games in your calendar, folks!

  3. The PC also took a magical blast to his chest while wearing no armor, and lived. That was a moment.

  1. My wife and kids think I’m a nerd. They’re not wrong. I did get a Doctor Who hoodie for Christmas last year but they’d be hard-pressed to guess which games or books I’d like. I have a wish list in my videos but it only works for Amazon Canada so it’s unlikely to yield any gifts. I wish Amazon would unify them so an American could send me something from my list.
