It’s Friday. I have yet to imbibe coffee, and my brain is all sideways. I will now subject you my non-caffeinated misfiring neurons. These are random TTRPG thoughts.
- I had some folks say some rather kind things about my channel this week. That’s both gratifying and humbling.
- The Crayola Experience has a “puzzle maker” activity. I have the drawing ability of a drunk slug…so I drew a dungeon map. It’s now a puzzle.
- One interesting things about “players always roll” games is helping players grasp how they can’t take offensive actions during a defense roll. Flipping the bed over on an attacker, on the other hand, is OK.
- After this week’s Numenera session the group has come up with a name for itself, “Murder Fire 13b.” It’s no where near as ominous as it sounds.
- We didn’t have a Basic Fantasy RPG session this week, which is good because we ended an adventure arc and I’m trying to figure out what the immediate aftermath is 1.
- I signed up for the Philly Area Gaming Expo this week. I’m going to get to play in my first DCC funnel so I’m rather excited.
- I’ve come to the point when I enjoy it when my characters fail. When I first jumped back into the hobby during the first shut down I was not in a place where I appreciated this.
- My channel’s upload this week was an “Oh shoot, I am not read for this review so let me do this quick” endeavor. It’s one of the best performing videos I’ve done in the last year. That’s weird.
- I’ve been back in the hobby for three years and have managed to play nine different systems2.
- I am amazed by how many games out there to play. the well is deep!

And I’m bummed at how many games I haven’t been able to get to the table. ↩

I watched a video today from a woman who made an impromptu review video that made more money and had more hits than her other 66 “crafted” videos combined. Her advice: don’t try guessing. Make the videos you want you make. Some will be wildly successful. Others will fall on deaf ears. To a lesser extent, I’ve experienced the same in my meager 2-months on YouTube. My most successful video is me showing off some books. My third most popular video is me talking about how I love simple RPGs and flipping through one of them. Both were panicked “filler” content when I needed something quick. Both make me realize that a simple, unscripted foray into the unknown with whatever idea pops into my head is what I will continue to do. Forgive my “Uhms”. 🙂
