It Tuesday, coffee is jolting my nervous system out of standby mode, and the allergy-induced sandpaper in my eyes isn’t as coarse as it has been. These are random TTRPG thoughts.
- This has been a difficult week for TTRPG publishers, who are dealing with the stupidest trade war ever. Books are exempt from most of the stupidity, but extras like GM screens are not. Get ready for price increases even as the economy bleeds value.
- The Super Hero Adventures I’ve written, to this point, have been linear. That makes sense, given that I’m trying to emulate a comic book structure, but now I’m expanding them to offer some branching paths. It’s fun!
- Given what’s been happening to some folks coming to America to visit or give seminars, I’m rather frightened for non-US folks who are planning to attend the convention circuit this year.
- Ecclesicon 2026 will take place on May 1-2! We dropped the Sunday session, but are expanding Friday to a whole day so there’s actually more time to play!
- I wonder what impact the trade stupidity is going to have on PAX Unplugged. Will the board game presence dry up or do they have their stocks for convention season on hand already?
- I am looking to do some Cypher System live streams on Monte Cook Games’ “The Anywhere Door” in the near future! I’ll make villains, prep my super-hero adventures (I’m not giving my Numenera folks spoilers), and do character conversions to Cypher. It should be fun!
- I’ve got to get through Holy Week, and then I’ll be concentrating on the final prep for my Sabbatical. Why is this here? Because I’m planning to spend most of it on TTRPG-centered ideas!
- I’m itching to set up a TTRPG evening at our local Brewery.
- I really want to roll some dice. Good thing I’ve got two games on Thursday so that itch will be scratched!
- For updates on what’s happening with Ecclesicon, check out our web-site. And don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss anything!
- Bonus thought. I know Ecclesicon is tiny, but I’m amazed how it’s also a “real” convention that folks want to attend. I hope we can continue making it a fun event!
