#uvg — Public Fediverse posts

Decided to throw up a quick draft of the latest thing I'm working on after some prompting on Bluesky, so here it is! It's a roll-and-keep, single-combat-roll variant of Synthetic Dream Machine: https://thecloudtender.com/2025/01/11/unnamed.html

Running:
* #UVG, 74th almost-monthly session!
* Just finished a short #BreakRPG campaign
* Bunch of one-shots: #Cairn, #Swyvers, #YoonSuin, #MailOrderApocalypse…

Wish I was playing:
* Mythic Bastionland, enjoyed reading it, a nice twist on the #IntoTheOdd formula;
* My #dungeon23 (lol), sprawling under a parking;
* Non-horror space-op, I should give one of those #Cepheus variants a read, wouldn't mind some cyberpunk themes mixed in.

@LeviKornelsen I'm #OSR all the way, preferably 3rd and 4th waves, mostly the science-fantasy kind.
I make character sheets, and sometimes maps.
I organize 2 conventions a year, and run open tables at game festivals and libraries about once a month.
When I publish stuff I made, I use the CC-compatible Free Art license.
Currently running long campaigns of #UVG and #SotDL (non-OSR exception), plus a one-shot of a new game every week or so.

@Smcc @lumpley

I'll just yeet them all?

1. 636 (a Latvian network of shops which was ahead of its time)
2. #OSRQ / #NSRQ
3. Probably, Drizzt, but very close to "none".
4. D&D 3.5 (2003)
5. Must be #3.5e, but #Whitehack is getting close to overtaking it thanks to regular play.
6. #LtGarlic, my current OSRQ character. 3d6 down the line generation forced me to play something I didn't want, and I loved being forced to explore them.
7. #OSE and #LabyrinthLord.
8. Loved 3.5e for non-cheesy art. I love 5e art as well, but not the Monster Manual. I think, 3.5e overall.
9. Anything by Luka. Let's say, #Longwinter, could just as well be #UVG.
10. No
11. I am now!
12. Of course.
13. Nope.
14. Probably, any giant stag beetle summoning tool from 3.5e. It felt degenerate. I don't know, I don't care for items too much.
15. Currently, I'm a friend with a kobold, who comes to adventures with us. He's cool, but he grabs the loot.
16. I don't collect anything, no. But I buy everything @bradkerr publishes to run it.
17. My own #IcyNSR system.
18. Probably a nazi mage from a fictional organisation with a civil-service front called "the directory of the souls".
19. No idea what it means.
20. Mom's friend's son who was my childhood friend got the D&D 3.0 starter kit in 2002. There was no coming back.
