Also #dreamation? The 20th anniversary of #ukge? #1pRPGjam? #FreeRPGDay? #metatopia?
There are probably a few other angles that I'm missing 🤔
Focusing on independent #dndisnotforme #ttrpg design.

#Metatopia 2025 report: I ran 3 sessions of our very new, drafty but playable and fun dream rules for the Grit System with @oddgobgrasso.bsky.social
We had a ton of fun and learned a lot. Focusing on character creation as part of gameplay, which really seems to matter for modern-setting games.

#Metatopia was a good time but I feel I could have done more and made more connections. Goals for next year.

A Lego bit. A yellow translucent code topped by a red jewel
Hey #Metatopia I found this Lego bit on a chair in the Hyatt lobby bar. I’ll leave it at the Launch Pad.

... the games I will not get to try, so that I can revisit them later and/or try to contact authors.
I am looking forward to playtesting all of these games - thanks to all the designers, many of whom first-timers, for such interesting options! 👏

Me: I think I'm mostly over the surgical grief.
My brain: hey so about that I special-ordered these dreams where your uterus is a homunculus of you and she gave these phenomenal panels at #Intercon and #Magfest and even attended in your place at #Metatopia and everyone loved her, is that OK?

Another excellent game just opened on Kickstarter: "Defy the Gods" by the talented @hecticelectron.bsky.social !

Trying 6 modules per card for my 18-card game Galaxy Hustle, an idea that was underlined at Metatopia.

I've written up the final #metatopia playtest of "Road to Romance" - this was a five player game, and was more challenging to fit into the 2 hour slot, but we did it by having narrative catastrophe chapters. Another set of interesting stories created!

I've written up on my blog the first full four stories from running Road to Romance at #Metatopia. Huge thanks to the players for throwing themselves into it with gusto. #ttrpg
If you have a favourite (or any questions!) please let me know in the comments.

Went to #Metatopia last weekend, and ran my shonen anime emulator Teenage Ninja Fighting School. It went great! Really successful playtest on some very fresh rules (two weeks of development).

I want to say “thank you” to everyone who shared their time with me at #Metatopia. After an awful week, a few days of genuine community have been a great help.

#Metatopia seems a con I must go 1 in my life, more than #GenCon or similar multi hobby convention

New blog post up - an explanation of the terms "Pulp" and "Purist" as traditional gameplay modes for horror RPGs, and a lot of other thoughts about how we play horror games that I found myself discussing often at #metatopia this weekend.

Over the course of the next few days, I will highlight the wonderful #ttrpg I have tried at #metatopia2024 - and their creators!
The best part, however, has always been and will always be the wonderful people and the meaningful interactions. 🩵

On Sunday at #Metatopia, I thought "Ooooh, the con drop after this one is gonna be rough!!"
"Con drop" refers to feelings ranging from "why does the world seem kinda blah?" through "ugh, things in my everyday life are so annoying!" to depression, exhaustion, isolation, and sadness.
