#mepacon — Public Fediverse posts

Time for some #Mothership at #Mepacon. I’m playing today (“The Haunting of Ypsilon 14”) and running my DECANTED funnel tomorrow.

Prepping for my #Fallout2d20 game, “Crawl Out Through The Fallout” at #MEPACon

At #MEPAcon - Finally getting to play #MorkBorg !!!

#Fallout2d20 tire kicking complete. I'm glad we did it; I needed the practice for the #MEPACon game I'm running next weekend.

It also gave me some ideas on what I need to prep, print out, etc. My scenario is an intro game, so I want to make sure it flows quickly/easily while retaining that #Fallout feel. #TTRPG #GamePrep

Finally ordered a print copy of #ShadowDark - the PDF on my iPad worked at #MepaCon, but I missed having a print copy to quickly look things up.

Looking ahead to next #MEPACon, I think I'm going to run my 2-hour "Straight to Hell" #Gaslands tutorial, with two more 4-hour Gaslands games on Saturday and Sunday.

Throw in an RPG session (for a game I already know, like #MothershipRPG or #ShadowDark) and I could greatly reduce my prep time.

Ran my DECANTED #MothershipRPG scenario today at #MEPACON

It went great. A lively, engaged crew who played it smart, avoiding confrontations with the big bads, came up with creative solutions, and saved the ship.

Sure, it was meant to be a funnel, and yeah, only one character died (heart attack while waking up from cryo sleep) BUT everyone had fun.

It was a younger group, and none had played Mothership before. All enjoyed it, and a few are buying the game.

I'll take the win. :)

Time for some #CastlesAndCrusades at #MEPACon

Time for some #CastlesAndCrusades at #MEPACon

Ran my intro #Gaslands “Straight To Hell” session at #MEPACon. It went well … and finished on time!

Gearing up for a sort of lazy Saturday working on my #MEPACON events. "sort of" because I'm not working on day job stuff, but I will be writing a ton. #ttrpg #GTD

I’m planning on running an intro
#Dragonbane adventure at #MepaCon
this spring. I want to run a stock adventure (with 3 hours of play time in a 4 hour slot).

Any suggestions?

Riddermound is in the original quick start, and seems ok, though I haven’t run it (nor have I run Dragonbane … yet)

And my character panics, his safety line to the teamster snaps, and he goes spinning off into the icy depths. #mothership #ttrpg #mepacon

Meanwhile the Bloom is infecting our mercs, who are trying to recover a bio sample and data from an underwater base on a Europa-like planet. #mepacon #mothership

iPad worked well. Would have worked better if I fully charged it the night before. Switching to paper and pen. #mothership #ttrpg #mepacon

Experimenting with taking #Mothership game notes with #Freeform on my iPad. #mepacon

Time for more #MEPACON with #mothership1e !!! Finally getting to play (having been a GM twice)

Time to roll some dice! First event of #MEPACon - Castles & Crusades!

Putting my #GameRoom / #HomeOffice back together again after the hurricane that was #MEPACon (or at least, the hurricane that was me prepping for MEPACon).

The aftermath of #MEPACON. I'll clean it up. Eventually.

Next up: #MutantCrawlClassics “Beyond the Funnel” at #MepaCon

Gaslands at #MepaCon. It’s already going better than last year, with several cars through the first gate and their weapons armed.

Getting ready to run “The Emerald Palace”, my #mothership one shot at #Mepacon.

Time to get back to #MutantCrawlClassics and my #MEPACON one-shot. My goal is to get this thing written this weekend.

My reward? Playing the #Cyberpunk2077 #PhantomLiberty expansion.

Contemplating a playlist for #MutantCrawlClassics as I work on my #MEPACON adventure. Any musical suggestions?

Good news everyone! #HullBreach arrived with lots of new rules/materials/charts for my #Mothership adventure at #mepacon

Oh, and my Mothership t-shirt arrived too! So I'll look classy while I'm running the game.

I supposed now I have actually, you know, write the scenario...

Working on my "Beyond the Funnel" adventure for #MEPACON. I've got a full table (4 players) so it should run. Currently hunting for weird plantoid creatures with which to populate the Hackthorn Wastes. #MCC

Contemplating my next subject for my #KnightsOfTheDinnerTable column. Last few topics: #SoloRPG #SavageWorlds #JunkDrawer (random #RPG stuff found online) #CarWars #Blogs #Dungeon23 #CyberpunkRED

Thinking about going lists of random lists; I've got a bunch of those kinds of sites squirreled away.

Might also do another round of #Mothership because I'm working on a #OneShot for #MEPACON. I haven't written about that in a year or so, and the boxed set drops soon (fingers crossed)

@unordinarytales I never played Star Wars d6, though I'd like to one of these days (I have the 2nd Edition book).

I played the FFG version a few times at #MEPACON, but always with pre-gens - I never built a character. It uses funky dice, which wasn't a selling point for my group. I liked some of the ideas it had, where the result of rolling the different dice informed the story (e.g. you hit + a cool story thing happens) but I found folks got tired of coming up with new story things.

I’m working on a 3rd level #MCC adventure for #MepaCon, so this will be great prep.

Picked up DIVE, which is an ocean-based take on MOTHERSHIP inspired by films like Deepstar Six, Levithan, Deep Blue Sea, and The Abyss.

I plan on using it to help develop my underwater Mothership adventure for the next #MEPACon
