First session of my new Monsterhearts campaign yesterday, set in a summer camp for delinquent or underprivileged kids. Great set of characters bouncing off each other, including two playing as warring step brothers! #pbta https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmucbzod0007mjv042ahokzug

Bei uns hieß das früher einfach „Glückswurf“ – und dafür brauchte es keine eigene Passage im Regelbuch. 📖😄

Dass heute immerzu alles so überhöht werden muss … 🎲✨🙄😉

My new #pbta #ttrpg has gone live! Or possibly undead? Anyway, you can now get and play your own modern ghost stories! https://groundhoggoth.itch.io/apps-shades-of-home

OK, that's the last playset for "Apps: Shades of Home" complete, so tomorrow is set aside for last-minute proof reading & editing. #pbta #ttrpg

Today, I will complete the third playset for "Apps," my #pbta modern, domestic ghost story game, to get publication ready in time for spooky season. #ttrpg

The writing on "Apps: Shades of Home" is complete; the final word of the text is "it." #pbta #ttrpg

Lessons learned

One more chapter of my "Apps: Shades of Home" #pbta #ttrpg complete: just two more to go now!

Finished my first campaign on Start Playing, an epic 15-episode Monsterhearts Gothic game that I really loved and was sorry to see it end. #pbta #ttrpg

Dabbling with another playset for my modern domestic ghost story #pbta #ttrpg https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w00bAff0w0PECLQuYrkkyvDfWg-Gy5Oh57pP8wHMlwU/edit?usp=sharing

Ever since I was young, I loved creating special character types for games like Talsiman and Cosmic Encounter. I think that's why I like #pbta so much, because i still love coooking up cool special abilities. #ttrpg

Ran my Fellow Travelers playset again yesterday: it ended with angry ghosts coming to claim their sacrifce from the passengers. Everyone had a great time! #ttrpg #Pbta https://groundhoggoth.itch.io/fellow-travelers

The vampires, werewolves, wizards, fae, ghosts and other characters in _Urban Shadows_ all obsess over different kinds of **hunger**. Mortals and monsters vie for control of a modern-day city, a hidden political battleground with hungers all its own. Rather than claiming to support “intrigue” with 250 pages of combat rules, this game delivers.

_Monsterhearts 2_ posits that you shouldn’t have full narrative control over what you are attracted to or what you want, but you should be able to transform **familiarity** with someone into leverage over them. Welcome the messy lives of teenagers who are secretly monsters (certainly literally, often figuratively).

Looking at how the concept of hold evolved from Apocalypse World to later PbtA games: https://troypress.com/playbook-currencies-named-hold/ #PbtA #TTRPG #Blaugust

Updated my "Fellow Travelers" playset with a link to a spreadsheet for online play. #ttrpg #pbta https://groundhoggoth.itch.io/fellow-travelers

I've just published a free sample of a much larger game approaching the end of development, "Fellow Travelers" is a folk horror one-shot set aboard a coach in an analogue of 18th century England. #ttrpg #pbtA https://groundhoggoth.itch.io/fellow-travelers

You can tell that I am spending a lot of time lugging my Stonetop RPG book one around because the image of the front cover is slowly fading away as I handle it. I'm about 1/6th of the way trough it.

I am currently reading through all the playbooks. The special character moves are fantastic. I just keep thinking that I can't wait to see what happens when they are used in games.

_Hearts of Wulin_ fixates on the **promise** you wish you hadn’t made. Wuxia melodrama requires commitments, but the relationship structure in the game gives you a reason that keeping the promise is emotionally disastrous. Conflicting obligations and feelings aren't just backstory, but exactly what the game wants.

On the PbtA Discord, there's been a lively discussion of hit points vs. Harm, as well as damage rolls. I dug up two old Reddit polls: https://troypress.com/quick-polls-hp-or-conditions-debilities-damage/ #PbtA #Blaugust

Mechanics of _Thirsty Sword Lesbians_ repeatedly transform attraction and emotional interest into actionable relationships. The game’s moves expect emotional and physical attraction to alter the course of conflicts. But the game also concerns other types of **desire**: belonging, recognition, identity, purpose.

Redoing the playsheets for a sample of a game i've almost completed; I ran this sample at a convention in 2024 but wasn't happy with the layout of the information for the players. It's much cleaner now. #ttrpg #PbtA

“There’s an irony here. After this initial look, my big takeaways are 'Stonetop is probably the best PbtA textbook' and 'Stonetop is the PbtA game closest to trad.'” - Kieron Gillen, https://oldmenrunningtheworld.com/the-skim-stonetop/ #Stonetop #TTRPG #PbtA
