Had a wonderful session of Zero Pieces of Eight yesterday. We encountered a small pirate ship off the coast of an archepeligo, who was manned by a PC's brother. Turns out, the captain was running a cult of devoted crewmates, whom followed him like a flock of sheep. After an intense discussion, our crew decided to bring them into our fleet of ships, expanding the reknown of "The Jolly Foot".
Fakhr-al-Din al-Ma'ani, or Palmyra Castle, is a 13th-century fortress built atop, and from, the peak of a rocky mountain overlooking the ruins of an ancient city more than 2,000 years old.
A fortress watching over ancient ruins offers ideas for locations in #ttrpgs and #fantasy #writing.

I'm back on the fediverse for the first time in a while! Wassup! I'm going to do a little reintroduction:
I'm Henry
He/him
I'm younger than most anyone on here. (no i won't tell)
I really am interested in #ttrpgs, #worldbuilding, #tech, #linux, #outdoors, #reading, #writing, #esperanto, #conlangs, #filmmaking, and more. I'm really just here to find some cool people. Why don't you tell me what's new with the fediverse. Are posts still 95% hating on Twitter Man?
#introduction
Really digging the new #LegendOfGhostMountain from @peginc ! Some great new setting rules and mechanics. I've got some ideas for use in my fantasy campaign, even!
PS the #TTRPGs for #TransRights in Florida bundle is still going, and it is still packed with the best stuff:
I think I found my „old school moment“, the one where something new comes along and you realize there’s just no way you’re ever going to get on board with this.
It’s using AI to generate gaming content.
#TTRPGs have always been about human imagination. To me, using AI to generate content is the antithesis to everything TTRPGs are about. Take away the human factor and all this becomes a bunch of boring tables and textbooks.
We’ll just keep telling our stories, not something from an algorithm.
I'll be at Marmalade Dog 26 tomorrow. Come on by if you're in the Kalamazoo area.
Friday Night Game: Ooooh, Starting Crown of the Kobold King Edition! #pathfinder2E #ttrpgs
If you’ve been considering picking up #LittleButFierce, then this is the cheapest price you can pick it up for (just $7.47 for a complete rewrite of #dnd5e for kids!)
Need convincing? Just check out @TTRPGkids review below :)
Khuha Kharuehat is a pavilion shrine set within the massive Phraya Nakhon Cave.
Two great ceiling holes allow light into the cavern. A natural stone walkway rests between the two hollows, and it is known as the bridge of death because numerous animals have fallen to their end while trying to traverse it (see image four).
A shrine secreted away offers ideas for locations in #ttrpgs and #fantasy #writing.

Morning all!
I’ve had a dispatch note for the Wyrmwood Dungeon Master’s Screens from last year’s Kickstarter Campaign. I ordered a nice set with a number of accessories, which should look lovely on the table.
I should be excited, but instead I feel tinged with buyer’s remorse.
Why? Their response to sexual assault allegations against one of their employees and on their premises was troubling, tone deaf and inadequate.

Wanderhome and Thirsty Sword Lesbians for $5 is enough of an enticement.
But 500+ rpgs and getting to support trans rights at the same time.
What a steal.

Hey, you!
Do you like tabletop #roleplaying games?
Do you think #Transphobia is bad?
Well, you're in luck! You can now get $2,000 worth of #ttRPGs for $5 AND donate to help #trans people in Florida!
That's right! More than 500 games for only $5! AND all for a good cause!

As day falls to night in a Queensland forest, the woodland fills with the soft illumination of ghost fungus, a bioluminescent, but poisonous, mushroom.
Biolumsecent plants and glowing forests offer wonderful inspiration for a fey or enchanted woodland in #ttrpgs and #fantasy #writing.

Morning! Next up from https://itch.io/b/1753/ttrpgs-for-trans-rights-in-florida is Maharlika, which is a full on 220+ page RPG plus a scenario. It’s a mecha game from the RPGSEA scene, specifically the Philippines, inspired by Filipino mythology. #TTRPGs #TransRights #TTRPG
The very first game is Scavenge and Seal, which is a little post-apocalypse game. No art, 11 pages, simple layout. The world is science fantasy flavored. There’s this funky mechanic where the backpack you use determines a bunch of bonuses.
Target numbers are based on your stats and you roll bigger dice for more difficult tasks. You’re trying to roll less than or equal to your stat, OK. The average starting stat is 2, so it seems like it might be hard to succeed? #TTRPGs #TransRights
Last time there was a big trans rights bundle on itch.io, I did a big Twitter thread about it — quick thoughts on one or two games from the bundle every day, randomly chosen. So let’s do that again, starting right about now. #TTRPGs #TransRights

I've got a question about a particular rule I've seen in some fantasy #TTRPGs, namely that spells require some component of a given value in gold coins or whatever.
My question is, what is the Watsonian/in-world justification for this?
New instance, new #introduction!
Hola, I'm Beso (xe/he/elle). Just a #bisexual #trans #nonbinary & #polyamorous guy in my late 20s. I'm #chicano (though I prefer #xicano) and live along la frontera.
I'm also #MentallyIll & #disabled & a proud #CripplePunk. Diagnosed with #ADHD ( #kinetic ), and very likely #autistic too.
I'm a leftist through & through. Some may say I'm extreme. I say I've got my priorities straight & take no shit. Love wins, hate loses, & I'm here to make sure of that.
That's about it for what I identify with, but as for things I love and will often post about, here you go. This is the only post I'll hashtag spam in, to help people with similar interest find me:

Crash's Course Ep 09: Worldbuilding
I’ve been on a worldbuilding kick lately, so I thought that would make a good topic. I mean, sure, there’s lots of good campaign settings out there ready for you to use, but they’re not yours, you know? Why not make something original, and as an extra bonus, have it be something where that one party member can’t buy the same source book and as a result can metagame everything.
#King5Seattle covered some of the research I did during my internship with #foundry10 in partnership with #GameToGrow!
We analyzed #TTRPG / #DnD / #DungeonsandDragons sessions to examine how #TTRPGs can support #SEL (#socialemotionallearning ) skills and found that the game space + facilitators allowed youth to practice complex reflection and conflict resolution.

The pooled resin from generations of 3D sculptors eventually hardens and builds onto the Resin Caves. Some are said to lead out of the city proper and all the way into the wasteland.
I am a huge proponent of adults playing tabletop games. In addition to many social benefits, it can also have a positive impact on mental health. Playing #TTRPGs can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, boost self-esteem, and provide a sense of community and belonging. It can also allow players to explore and work through complex emotions in a supportive environment.
So whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer, grab some friends, roll some dice, and enjoy the adventure! #DnD

A nature photographer in Chilliwack, British Columbia, captures a cool phenomenon.
In a cave behind a partially frozen waterfall is an ice caldera. Forming within the caldera are perfect spheres of ice hewn by the cold and water.
A natural phenomenon that produces strange objects can offer ideas for spell components or magic item parts in #ttrpgs and #fantasy #writing.

So, new instance and new #introduction time! If we share stuff, say "hello". Even if we don't, but you think we might have interesting chats, say "hi!". I've never been awesome at just listing interests. I'm into so many things, and I recognise that people are so complex anyway, that a list seems odd and restrictive. But with intent of connecting, here goes - Former #englishliterature nerd with interests in #science, #astronomy, #history, #psychology, #philosophy, #politics and on and on. Currently, I'm #writing and #drawing (mostly scribbling honestly) monsters for tiny #fantasy #horror adventures I make for #osr and #ttrpgs like #dungeonsanddragons. I love #boardgames and game mechanics generally. Sometimes I write #poetry and #fiction and even #makingmusic like #ambientmusic. Sometimes I #paint #abstractart. Often, I practice #photography. Studying #counselling has also led to an interest in #meditation, #compassion and #mindfulness. Oh, and recently have been getting into #Obsidian and #markdown. I'll probably Toot about lots of stuff, but that's reflective of my interest in so many areas. #joinin #introductions
I've finally uploaded my first #itchio game - Night of the Gallowgrim. It's a short atmospheric #horror #fantasy darkish folk-horror adventure for #ttrpgs with #Lovecraftian overtones and some clueless cultists. You can grab it here for FREE - https://spearmintwarlock.itch.io/night-of-the-gallowgrim
And if you really like it, a tiny donation would make my day (but not essential)! Sincerely, I just want you to take a look and, hopefully, run it one day for your table.
Oh, and I'm really keen to network with other game devs out there on Itch. Don't be shy about following me so I can can follow you and check out your stuff too, especially if it's #osr #dnd #dungeonsanddragons and #rpg #trpg related. @itchio
The towering hill of Monte da Graça has been carefully shaped to seat the sprawling star-bastion citadel known as Forte de Nossa Senhora da Graça (Fort of Our Lady of Grace).
Construction started in 1763, and would not be completed for almost 30 years.

Every time I'm unemployed I work on #gamedev stuff. After graduation it was Pygame. After my project was cancelled it was Unity. When I quit a toxic workplace I dabbled in #ttrpgs. In lieu of recent layoffs I'm diving into Unreal.
During uncertain times I recall my favorite John Green quote: “Study broadly & without fear…But more importantly, surround yourself with people who you like & make cool stuff with them.”
So, what are YOU studying without fear?
#creative #work #projects #study
Look I love weird and wild wacky-ass #TTRPGs but I have to admit my eyes immediately glaze over at the words "solo journaling".
I'm sure they're interesting and good for people out there and I'm very happy for you! But I play specifically for the purpose of socializing with friends
As #LittleButFierce is nearly 1 year old and I’m now releasing expansions, I’ve decided to permanently drop the price of the Starter Edition to just $14.95!

So here's my thing with #SuperHeroes in #ttrpgs : I can't make the team dynamic work in my head.
I've realised there's plenty of fantasy sources that illustrate a group of heroes adventuring together, usually travelling the world. Ditto for space opera, with the crew of a ship exploring the galaxy.
Superheroes though... that kind of team dynamic doesn't work and it's not part of the lore. They usually reside in one city, there's nowhere for them to go.
