There's horror in a sitcom that never gets cancelled. SmallRedRobin13's Pilot Episode, a GMless hack of Time To Drop, traps players in a 1950s pilot episode, resetting on cue until an unseen audience is pleased. Much like my inner monologue. #rpgPdfSpotlight #rpgs #gmLess

Stop being a glorified script-processor for your players' predictable antics and learn how to actually play the game instead of just narrating a pre-approved tour of your own imagination. It’s a guide to quitting your unpaid job as a human CPU and rediscovering the "electric jolt" of a plot twist you didn't see coming from six sessions away.

Finished my first proof pass of Carcass: Broken Sky (Praxis). It has 17 playbooks to choose from, so it’ll have even more replayability than most Praxis games.
Can’t wait until it gets released. Not that I can get anyone to try Praxis, but it’s the best one shot story game nobody talks about.
I want to get some actual plays recorded, but I need to figure out technical details.

I also wrote my own #ttrpg in 2025, a #GMless card-prompt game called A Year in Farm Valley (https://diceystories.itch.io/a-year-in-farm-valley). With all the playtesting involved there, I facilitated or played the game a total of 18 times.
* 8 x facilitated
* 10 x played (including one epic extended game that took 6 sessions)One of the inspirations for my game was another card-based storygame game:
A Weekend in the Countryside x 3 (https://lari-assmuth.itch.io/a-weekend-in-the-country)

Although I ran three sessions of #AYearInFarmValley at RinCon 2025, there were people who wanted to play but couldn’t fit it into their schedule. This session is one I played with such folks after the convention was officially over.

On a testé l'Hôtel du Lion Rouge ce soir ! 🦁
Petit jeu de rôle sympa à narration partagée, c'est plus varié qu'un For the Queen, et certaines cartes sont très fun à jouer.
Par contre à 6, il faut vraiment se limiter à un tour de table par carte, sinon la quantité d'éléments posés explose 😅.
@comemartin : on a fait à notre sauce pour l'épilogue parce qu'on a pas compris la règle. Comment se fait le décompte du nombre de mentions par fil rouge ?
Merci pour le jeu !

At RinCon 2025 I had a chance to facilitate a larger-scope game of A Year in Farm Valley with prompts for each player for all 12 months, 36 prompts overall. This makes the session report huge, so I’m splitting it up by season. Today I’m sharing Spring.
Adult siblings from a blended family inherit their parents’ farm, setting in motion a culinary revolution in the small town of Crestfall.

Today I'm sharing another session report for A Year in Farm Valley, one played at RinCon 2025. This game was played in the Women's Space, which was so great because it's quiet enough that your throat doesn't go raw just from trying to talk with the other players at your table!
A group of distant cousins inherits Great Aunt Anastasia’s old farm in Piney Shore.

Today I'm sharing another session report for A Year in Farm Valley, one played at RinCon 2025. This time the players were both children, and all the characters were anthropomorphic animals.
