It’s warming up after the weeks of bitter cold, my psyche is dreading the coming clock change, and I have imbibed my morning caffeine. In all this my brain is firing up as random sparks of lucid thought become entangled with my squirrel-brain attention span. These are random TTRPG thoughts.
- I love hex crawls, and if you love hex crawls I encourage you to go check out Inkwell Ideas Hexploration Deck crowdfunding campaign. If you don’t know what a a hex crawl is I can only say how much I enjoy running them and encourage you to check out how they work!
- On Wednesday I’ll be chatting with Jason Campbell from Shadowmain to talk about his new murder mystery, Hint. It’s designed for both Brindlewood Bay and as a stand-alone product using the Cypher System. I can’t wait!
- Last week I did a first look at Monty Python’s Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme. This game has lightning-fast mechanics and is written in the voice of a Monty Python sketch. Thanks Exalted Funeral for the review copy.
- For two weeks running no of the characters died in my Dragonbane group. We’ll see how long that lasts.
- I would really like to have a “normal” day off so I can sit down and write.
- I’ve got a lot of live streams scheduled all of the sudden. It’s kind of fun!
- Five things I did last week which I haven’t already mentioned:
- Got the auction items listed on the Ecclesicon Website.
- Completed the order for the Ecclesicon tee-shirts and interview backdrop.
- Sent out multiple invites to Ecclesicon 2025, March 28-30 in Palmyra NJ.
- Put out a comparison video of the two comic book systems I run.
- Sent up many flares about the destruction of our constitutional republic in favor of autocracy.
- I am grateful for all the folks who have helped with Ecclesicon planning and spreading the word! Let’s do this!
- I love running Numenera.
- A friend told me last week that I “come alive” when I talk about role-playing games. They aren’t wrong.
