Gen con highlight for real. what could this possibly mean
Caleb Zane Huettthe first scene we drew had a nonsensical and unwinnable minigame that was both definitely an error and an incredible galaxy brain mirroring of the premise of the scene leading to automatic failure. it is now one of my favorite cards. nobi nobi is perfect even when it's messing up
I <3 time loops
This Should Be A Game!Our series turning Happy Death Day (2017) into a TTRPG begins by talking with @calebzane.bsky.social about the psychological purpose of time loops, making exploration & investigation feel good in a defined structure, & the different table values when gaming-to-socialise vs gaming-to-game 🔪
Humans have ravaged the earth, and now they want to do the same to heaven. Your job: stop them. free demo of The Firmament now available! Check out this upcoming GM-less tarot ttrpg about divine secrets, terrible humans, and a world-shattering betrayal. www.kickstarter.com/projects/for...
Also, as someone with a PhD who spent over a decade doing research, it's always shocking how quickly people claim expertise & how quickly others believe them (in every field) Academia trains people to be extra cautious asserting expertise, because you have to prove it through scholarship
Dr. Emily FriedmanMeanwhile, people with actual expertise & research are LESS LIKELY to position themselves as a “TTRPG professor”: - game studies grad programs are still fairly young so their grads are too (plus hiring dumpster fire) - senior folk come from many OTHER fields, often at teaching-heavy institutions
The Cross Stitch is back in print, finally!! Get the best (only?) time loop adventure for Mörk Borg while supplies last. I heard kieron gillen said he liked it once (foresight-studio.com/product/the-...)
