@raphaelkaitz Appreciate the thought, but I tend to prefer theater of he mind over maps. It becomes a different game for me and I did not care for 5e at all.

I have a few systems lined up. #LightFantasy, #13thAge, and #CastlesAndCrusades.

Looks like I may be adding yet another #TTRPG game that I'm GMing. We have some young friends and the boyfriend has asked about playing in one of my games. At this point, the easiest way to get them in is to start a fresh campaign for them.

I'm going to push for #13thAge since I already have a campaign at home and I think, honestly, it's an easier game to start with than #DnD5e. I'd go for #CastlesAndCrusades (#CnC) or #LiteFantasyRPG, but my wife doesn't seem as keen on those games.

Not sure I have the spoons for another #Pathfinder game. 1e Pathfinder is a lot more number intensive than I'm comfortable with.

Time for some #CastlesAndCrusades at #MEPACon

@critfail_press #CastlesAndCrusades and #ADnD2e for sure. I love C&C for the simplicity of the SIEGE engine mechanic from what little I've gotten to run with it. AD&D 2e was the first game I played and I love it despite/because of the weird sub-systems for rolling. I'm going to run an Al-Qadim based backup game for my Pathfinder group.

I've even started running my Pathfinder game more OSR-style. My players are incredibly creative and I find that I need to make a quick, fair ruling on the spot if I don't want to drag things down looking for specific rules. A couple of my players do usually have tablets or computers up to help me find some rules on the fly though, so that helps.

I find that there's an incredible amount of trust required for OSR games. You have to feel like the GM is going to be fair and balance resolutions for the story and for the characters. I think it's a little more intimate of an experience, which I love. I feel honored that my players trust me to bring a satisfying gaming experience at my table and I don't want to betray that. It makes me be a better GM, I think.

I'm going to work on a backup #TTRPG game for our Sunday #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords campaign for when we can't all make a session.

I'm leaning towards the #AlQadim #ArabianNights setting. I've had the boxed set for years, and I haven't had the chance to use it yet.

It'll probably be #ADnD2e but I'm not above trying to make it work for #CastlesAndCrusades. If it's AD&D, I'll probably convert AC to ascending instead of descending, for the ease of the players (and for me!).

#GMLife

Tomorrow, we're starting module 5 of 6 of my #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords campaign. I never imagined I'd get this far through it when we started.

It's got me thinking about my gaming white whales.

I'd love to get to play #VampireTheMasquerade again at some point, but more likely, I'll be running #VampireTheRequiem

I'd love to go back and run some #AdvancedDungeonsAndDragons modules like the #Dragonlance #WarOfTheLance or the original #Ravenloft or things like that using #ADD2e or #CastlesAndCrusades.

#TTRPG players and GMs, what are you currently playing? What do you wish you were playing?

Currently running

- #Pathfinder 1e. Not a fan of the crunch, but it's for my wife
- Taking a short break from #MasksANewGeneration, a #PoweredByTheApocalypse #PBTA supers game but ready to dive back in to the GM seat at a moments notice
- #Trinity #Adventures game. Character creation was a headache compared to other #WOD #WorldOfDarkness games but the characters are fun
- Our #MonsterHearts2 game should be starting up again at some point

Wish I was playing
- #13thAge for the amount of say players get in world building
- #GURPS for the complete characters you get after creation, which CAN be a real chore
- #D6StarWars as it was one of the first games I played and I really like the system
- #CastlesAndCrusades #CNC for the old school style with modern sensibilities
- #VampireTheMasquerade or #VampireTheRequiem. I've got a #VTR campaign I want to run at some point, but I don't know if/when I'll get to it. A long term obsession I haven't had the chance to play in 15-20 some years at this point
- #StarTrek #LastUnicornGames. I like the way they handled life/career paths

Started these Frostgrave Gnolls in 2021. Table ready (not competition) as part of my chaotic evil horde for months but haven’t been fielded in battle. None of my #Pathfinder #CastlesAndCrusades #5ednd #ForbiddenLands #SoloRoleplaying campaigns have seen any gnoll/wolfkin. Began by emulating hyaena colours. Got bored fast, went full doggo for these boys. Each one is easily identifiable this way. Reaper gnoll archer and Chainmail demonic gnoll tower above my doggo mook buddies. #minipainting

#Introduction

Hello! My name is Brett. I am a #ttrpg gamer. I began running #DnD in 1983 and since 2018 run #CastlesandCrusades campaigns with an emphasis on #folklore

I am academically trained in #Philosophy
My Ph.D. was on #Selfhood, drawing upon #Phenomenology and #EmbodiedCognition
My undergraduate work included #ClassicalCivilizations #Humanities and the #HistoryofScience

My gaming blog is: https://philosopherzeus.wordpress.com/blog/

A bit more #introduction

I LOVE #ttrpg !! Seriously, rolling #dice and playing pretend with friends, family, and strangers is my favorite way to spend time!

#FreeLeague is my favorite big league game company right now with #GoodmanGames a close second

For smaller publishers, I love #KnightOwlPublishing #BloatGames #9thLevelGames

For #Fantasy TTRPGs, I especially enjoy #OldSchoolEssentials #dccrpg #morkborg #5e #tunnelgoons and #castlesandcrusades

What’s your favorite fantasy TTRPG?!

I'd love to do a #Dragonlance #WarOfTheLance campaign someone, but I'm inclined to use #ADnD or #CastlesAndCrusades over 3e D&D, like we played before or maybe use #GURPS. I haven't been able to play enough 3e GURPS yet.

I’m headed to #mepacon this weekend! I’ll be playing some #castlesandcrusades and #DungeonCrawlClassic #DCC. I’m also playing a session of the new #Transfomers #ttrpg

Anybody else gonna be there?

GM Diary: Bringing Grim Hollow and Nightfell into Aufstrag Homebrew
