When I was in my teens, I used to make an entire magic system with 360+ unique spells, ordered in magic schools and categories, and it boggles my mind that I basically reinvented DnD mechanics, even down to metamagic.

I wanted to make a wiki about it but I don't have time for it.

The point was to try to encompass every "superpower" I could think of into a magic system.

I even got lore related to it all, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna simply reuse it all for OC worldbuilding. Ngl the fun part was naming all the spells, symbols and coming up with the logic of it all.

love it when you look up a word’s pronunciation and only get the formal Linguist zalgotext-style version. like damn i guess i’m not using that word.

[mtxyqmpsfqklt]

once you work out IPA you can experience this feeling with the second, weirder layer of IPA where people try to describe not the sounds people believe they're making but the ones that they "actually" make

I will defend stupid meaningless YouTube content with my life. How else am I supposed to get my chores done?

[nemurenaivoron]

By listening to the smart meaningful YouTube content maybe?

[sandersstudies]

No because I become enamored and invested and stop doing chores to focus on Content.

You posted a while ago about Grant Howitt's RPG There But For The Geese of God, where the players are archangelic geese trying to shepherd Martin de Tours into sainthood by whatever means necessary; you might also be interested in

His RPG Everyone is Seagulls, where the players are a flock of 30 seagulls and you can only communicate by loudly yelling at each other what you want to do, and

Sean Bean Quest, which is a modification of his RPG Goblin Quest in which you play five Seans Bean (in series, not in parallel), trying to ensure that at least one of you survives until the end of the movie.

Thank you so so much for thinking of me. I am hanging this up in my house in a beautiful frame and adjusting it so that it’s beautiful. I am grateful for your friendship and good taste.

I should be honest though. I actually know fuckall about roleplaying games. Absolute black hole of knowledge actually. People kindly and generously sent me the goose one because it’s highly elodie-coded (and you can see why! It’s elodie reblog bait!) and I admired and reblogged accordingly in complete support of the vision. No further thoughts or opinions. HEAD EMPTY. “Haha sounds great!” I say, instantly filing it where I put the isogenic cryptography I had to learn about against my will for work and which I refused to retain in any meaningful way. My brain has simply left the building to pick flowers. “I would enjoy that it’s right up my alley,” I say, eating the bottoms of the grass blades vacantly.

I have exactly three experiences of tabletop roleplaying games ever in my life and i should write a post about them but

- single session of dnd with older guys when I was a teenager

- shepherding children through an interactive storybook in which Bug, 4, simply kept assassinating their older sibling (they were not supposed to be able to do this??)

- playing a small amount of gloomhaven: jaws of the lion, in which I became distracted by hating the whole concept of unpainted ugly gaming miniatures so much that I made my own and then. Wandered off. Apparently forever

Anyway even if it’s wasted on me these are delightful and I’m happy to admire them conceptually and share them and hang them on the wall

[voltaspistol]

I love how everyone's first instict when writing a one page RPG is "What is we just took one fantasy trope and fleshed it out but not TOO much?" but the second instinct when writing a one page RPG is "What if you were an animal that eats trash?"

[elodieunderglass]

So true bestie 🥤 it’s about finding the balance isn’t it 🧐 Except there’s something to be said for the one page format!! you’re all beautiful boys 🤝 Unrelatedly thanks for inviting me 🫣

(I think I am seeming exceedingly cool and knowledgeable about one page RPGs but really I am like a child drinking milk in a pub)

[prokopetz]

My personal favourites are the ones that pair the trash animal theme with an incredibly pretentious presentation.

Like, what would you guess a tabletop RPG called Much That Is Good and All That Is Evil is about?

Wrong, it's seagulls again:

How high is your bleed threshold?

If you're into roleplaying, you've probably heard about bleed. But do you know what memetic bleed is, or emancipatory bleed? There is a whole network of concepts out there about what spills over between characters and players. And if you've ever wondered why not everyone experiences bleed the same way, you'll love to read about bleed thresholds.

How high is your bleed threshold? And what are you bleeding anyway?

You know that clip of Brennan Lee Mulligan, the one where he’s talking about his character Evan Kelmp? Wait, I’ll just link to it. It’s a cl

[gallusrostromegalus]

1. Genuinely interesting stuff about the connection between player/author and the characters they create.

2. NGL tho, that title and opening sentence made me think this was about blood loss tolerance.

[sonneillonv]

I thought there was going to be a quiz and was stoked to find out how much blood loss I could tolerate.
