I figure I have two or three sessions left of my current #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords adventure path, then it's off to the original #Ravenloft module using #LightFantasyRPG with some updates to the adventure. I'm also really looking forward to getting my little brother into the group.

My #VampireTheRequiem #VTR storytellers, have any of you tried substituting nature and demeanor from #VampireTheMasquerade #VTM for virtue and vice?

I'm Thinking about when I finally get to run a #vampire game, and I'm trying to decide which system to use, VTR 1e or VTM 2e or revised. There are things I like about both and some things I dislike.

I'm really close to finishing my #Pathfinder campaign and, with things the way they are, I'm really itching to run something antidisestablishmentarianist with some punk vibes.

We've got the original #Ravenloft module lined up first, and then #CuberpunkRED, but I'm itching for some #VampireTheMasquerade to take down the powerful elites.

Last Friday, I completed the latest campaign/trade for my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG. I reused old villains as my continuity's Thunderbolts/Su*cide Squad as "Lightning Squad". One player was caught flatfooted by some of my choices, especially as one of the villains she chummed up with was the one who paralyzed her sister in game.

I'm going to get to take a bit of a break, but I left it with a cliffhanger where I can pick back up with my universe's Manhunter robots about to invade earth.

Gotta love superhero TTRPGs!

One more attempt to actually finish this #MasksANewGeneration campaign tonight.

We keep getting obstacles thrown at us to keep us from meeting, but I'm hoping that tonight, we can put the story to bed so I can plan for the next campaign and get a little break as a player.

Tonight's #MasksANewGeneration game went well. The team has starting to put the pieces together and finally started to realize that Lighting Squad just happens to be this world's version of The Thunderbolts/Suicide Squad. Next session should wrap up this trade nicely.

One of my players was mad that she didn't pick up on the hints earlier after we all went to see Thunderbolts in the theater together. Of course I'm basing his group after the "reformed" villains with new identities version from the comics, not the movie.

It's nice how easy it is to be able to reuse villains when your heroes don't kill.

Going to give this whole #TTRPG weekend sessions another go. I should have #MasksANewGeneration tonight and #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords on Sunday, as long as things don't go sideways on us again.

Sadly no gaming again this weekend. We've really had a hard time at getting sessions to happen regularly lately. It's really hard to keep focus and interest in the #MasksANewGeneration game and I really just want to see the #Pathfinder adventure path to its conclusion so I can move on to something different.

I asked my #MasksANewGeneration players if they were okay with me running a holiday-themed session/issue. They said it sounded fun to them.

They came in last night expecting a one shot dealing with Krampus to something like that.

Instead, I ran them through a campaign-related issue that had ties to Home Alone, Die Hard, and A Christmas Carol.

Last night, I ran my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG game (yes, I know that comes out to ...game game).

I'm really pushing myself as a GM with this game. The session ("issue" to keep with comic book parlance) had a lot more interpersonal drama moments than I usually include. Between two married characters with major avoidance and communication issues, one character visiting with her mentor about whether her current team is holding her back from being the best she could be, or teammates pulling together when the going gets tough, it was really satisfying.

Plus I'm setting up the main antagonist plot-line in the background. This campaign/trade, I'm trying to emulate a mastermind pulling all kinds of strings, keeping heroes off balance, while the villains steal all kinds of valuable technology. And I have to make it seem plausible.

Yep, I'm definitely testing my limits this time.

So far, in my #MasksANewGeneration #TTRPG:

* One player suggested the henchmen form a union, which they did
* I developed a dark web site for criminals called Connie's List that's a combination of Angie's and Craig's lists for the underworld
* Named a dark web black market site called Black Forest, based loosely ob Amazon

I love this genera.

No #MasksANewGeneration game this week. My wife and I are having dinner with family. Should still be up for #Pathfinder on Sunday though.

Also stoked we got to start our #ADnD2e backup campaign last Sunday. I know the system is cludgy at times and rules are all over the place, but I love the higher degree of freedom and wonder I feel both playing it and flipping through the books. I get excited and inspired by the material.

Got players together for session 0.5 for my #ADnD2e #AlQadim game. We've got a wizard, bard, cleric, and fighter in the party. The cleric wanted to play a cat-folk race so I slightly modified the elf: I took away the sleep and charm resistance, changed the weapon proficiencies from swords and bows to a 1d4 claws with +1 to attack rolls, and left the rest the same. The player was happy, so I'm happy. Easy peasy.

We just started a little RP and the NPC that was meant to be more of a patron is now the party thief. Unexpected, but it felt right in the moment, so now I get to add an NPC to the party.

I want to make backstab a little more useful and easier to pull off, but not make it unbalanced. Probably be just a little more liberal and let the thief use it at the beginning of combat, assuming they're not surprised or it just feels inappropriate. The players need the focus, not my NPC.

Super stoked about this as a backup game.
