We're quickly getting to the point where people look at an impressive picture and say "that's gotta be AI".

Just another reason why AI destroys art

In Western #TTRPGs:
- Game designers create the setting and rules
- GMs create the story
- Players create the main characters

What if we combine all three roles into one creative author?

Hot take:
Pre-written characters with interwoven backgrounds are better than player-created characters

How Script Games Are Different from D&D, Escape Rooms, and Murder Mysteries Script Games are a relatively new form of immersive entertainment. They combine storytelling, deduction, and roleplay into a unique experience that doesn’t fit neatly into existing categories like Dun...

#Jubensha intersects between tabletop roleplaying, escape rooms, and murder mysteries, but it's also the most accessible form of #LARP.

Five friends join in a trip to Dreamland, a company with an exciting new tech that allows dreamers to experience each other's dreams. But as the friends delve deep into each other's psyche, they encounter a dark secret that forces them to face each other, and uncover their own true identity....

Sometimes the masks we wear to shield ourselves from others becomes so strong, that even we start believing in them. But in our dreams, we cannot hide from who we truly are.

This Saturday, I'll be hosting the first playtest of my new #Jubensha in collaboration with @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social

I also experienced one of the dreams as the dreamer. A father who blamed himself for the death of his daughter. Physically wrestling with guilt, anger, and sadness, guided by the daughter, each portrayed by masked hackers as they try to distance the father from his guilt. @sickhouse-nl.bsky.social

Played in the short #larp "Dream Architecture" by Jana Romanova yesterday.

Very interesting to be hacking dreams in a cyberpunk setting. Do we do product placement and corporate espionage for cash, or manipulate dreams to help people deal with their guilt and trauma?

Great answer!

Would you consider "the Hive" to be typical as well?

And Plague Rats cares about card name, not creature type, right?
