Is this you?

This is so me, I sent it to a bunch of people that try to break me out of this before I even read your caption.

I revealed the information to the player secretly before the other players found out. But the player continued making gilf jokes(and still does) out of character. But not in character.

Can't stop the signal Mal

If you find anywhere, please let me know.
Both would be great for #BrachyrSystem !

So, who's your next ranger going to be? :P

How is this word for word what I was just about to post

Suffering from nuance
Well, specifically nuance in the sense of having context dependent opinions on the TTRPG space that makes your takes less universal and may accidentally make others feel targetted.
I understand that completely! I say post, go ham on context, those who care will read!

I introduced an npc that was a PC's great uncle. Up till the reveal that player was calling him a gilf
Does that count?

Make her a cozy reading corner with bookcases of setting books and a big chair and little coffee table. Put it about ooh 2-3meters away from the gaming table? Or in the next room over.
If you have any lore questions you ask them aloud and the voice of god calls back to shut you up

At this point actually I am looking for playtesters. I can't really playtest it myself because the scenario is supposed to be a one-and-done and the secrecy from the scenario is a core element.
I don't expect it'd take more than an hour IRL if any groups are interested in giving it a whirl!

my #eternalttrpgjam entry this month fits every prompt so far this year; Little Gods, Zine's, and Public Domain. A "horror" roleplay scenario where 3-4 players explore a small story, guided by two booklets keeping secrets from them.
Loosely based on Peter Pan theming!

I'd absolutely reach out about #BrachyrSystem stuff, but given I can't pay; I signal boost instead!

There's some seriously awesome art here that'd work for map-less discussion scenes on vtts, setting the mood at your table, or maybe ttrpg ADs. top notch stuff and all the best to him(?)

Isn't that the watchtower near one of the roads at the edge of Skyrim? There's a road that leads out of the map past a watchtower in exactly this view, but if you go too far you hit an invisible wall.

Or I'm going insane, great work though!!!

TIL poetry isn't something people who write, learn for the fun of it.

Welcome to Nasvene! Medieval Stasis has been cracked. The workshop vault of a lost inventor has been unearthed, releasing the Age of Gears.
Clockwork technology is spreading rapidly. You're either deep in, resisting, or on the horizon. Clockworks are coming, magitech is changing.

If anyone has any TTRPG gigs or projects that need a host/DM/Storyteller, please let me know. The person who had been giving me work before has been weasling their way out of paying me.

I hate to ask you to repost, but if you could help me get word out, that would be really kind. ^^'

And please for all that matters to you; tell the creator you like it!

I had one person comment in confusion about how character creation made 0 sense, describing how confusing it was to make a character from just looking at the character sheet.
It was a one-page rpg! The review ignores half the rules on the sheet.

An Engineer has been working on a set of equations to predict the stress on a bridge. To be safe, he decides to get them double-checked. He first goes to a Physicist. The Physicist looks at the equations, runs some simulations, and says, "The math holds up within a reasonable margin of error for all known physical constants. It’s solid." Not satisfied, the Engineer goes to a Mathematician. The Mathematician takes the equations and disappears into his office for a week. Finally, he emerges, looking exhausted and annoyed. "This equation is completely flawed," the Mathematician declares. "It’s full of holes. I’ve found dozens of counter-examples where it fails miserably." The Engineer is shocked. "That’s impossible! I’ve used this formula on five different bridges and they’re all standing perfectly! Where exactly does it fail?" The Mathematician flips to the last page of his notes and says, "Well, for starters, it completely falls apart in the cases where the number of dimensions is negative, or when the mass of the bridge is an imaginary number."

Reminds me of;

I'm fine with people playing D&D 5e as a medieval fantasy roleplay and action game. But Horror, Mystery, and Sci-fi don't work in it, and attempting to force it and then going "well 5e's the best game so this is the best way to do it" is where I get gruff

In my experience, personally, systems that can support characters like that, secretly already have them(e.g. Silver Age Sentinels has a Superman analog in the back)
But I still mark that as (1), even if it's the storyteller doing it rather than players

Just as the Step-Sisters are trying to claim someone else's work to get the credit and rewards for themselves.

Now there is no shame. That idea is my idea now, look at me, I'm playing this character someone else created. All character development has been done for them. They went through their arcs. I don't even have to come up with motives. I'm just puppetting someone elses hollowed out work.

I get I'm the odd one out here. But it just irks me so much. It feels like there's so little want to be original these days.
For ages there was the refrain "everything's a remix, nothing is original". But that was to help you get over shame for comparing your ideas to others.

1 just feels, dirty, to me. You don't want to come up with your own character, you want to invest in something else made by someone else. And you don't care for the two mediums being trounced on to live the fantasy.

2 I encounter most in a situation where once you help them get close enough(hacking the system to do it), they respond; great! Now I'm a 1!~

3 is the only ones I'm personally okay with. Because they tend to find that the character doesn't fit, go "neat, oh well" and walk away.

I see it approached for 3 reasons:
1) I want to play the character.
2) I like the idea as a thought experiment.
3) I want to see if it's possible.

In the story, the step sisters end up cutting chunks off their own feet to attempt to force them to fit into the glass slippers. People trying to make so-and-so in a given RPG are basically doing the same. You're either hacking up the character, or the system, or both.
