@npub1t00…kx23 the more I read these stories one after the other, the more I do not like the olympics.

Who is going to #GenCon this year?
I am not able to make it. So let me live through you.
What #boardgames and #ttrpg materials are you looking forward to picking up at the show?
What panels do you plan to attend?
Are you playing any role playing games? Which ones?
If you aren't going either, what are you looking forward to that is being released or previewed at the show.

A great video summarizing and focusing on some key takeaways of an article that explains why play is important as adults.
Also a #ttrpg angle.
I would throw #boardgames in there as well. Some of my deepest adult friendships have been forged through the community board game nights that I've co-hosted for the last decade.
The secret of game night is that it isn't about the games. It's about the relationships.

@npub1u3t…c6ug all 18 to 26 year old or just 18 to 26 year old males?
Isn't the law that all males over the age of 18 must register before the age of 26?

At least that's why my dad always bought butter pecan ice cream.

@npub1463…00qn Neither do I. It just seems like the default for most people.
I haven't heard of some of these. Thanks for the list.

@npub1463…00qn What do you create these with? Procreate?

2024-01-11 14:39:14

Draw Jam, on Youtube, made an interesting counter argument to the oft given argument from AI art users that #AIArt is making the creation art more accessible.
That's complete crap.
As he points out, you can get a complete free art education from the free art tutorials (some by your favorite artists) that already exist on Youtube and the web in general.
You just have to sit down and put the work and practice in.
That's the rub.

@npub1xzm…eykm sounds like a great solution.
I personally look forward to being able to connect with friends who migrated to Threads while staying on a platform that I have come to really enjoy.

@npub1psd…9sr7 Where did you order it from? Are they producing these again. They last I heard was that they were buying up used ones and reselling them. Your pictures are promising as that looks brand new.

@npub1alm…yeul It's really fun. So far we have had a session 0 one-shot after character creation, played the #DanceOfDreams from the back of the core #Vaesen rule book, and are currently finishing up an adventure from the #AWickedSecret collection.

2023-10-27 13:57:27

It has been almost a month since our group has been able to get together to play #Vaesen.
We are supposed to play this weekend and I can't wait.

The line "Out, damned spot!" from Macbeth was inspired by Shakespeare's dog.

Day 11, weirdest game that I played?
This is probably a toss up. The first's the original #Paranoia game. It was such a weird concept & we were playing in the 80s within the culture that it was actively satirizing. It felt transgressive to be preteens & teens poking our fingers directly in the eye of that culture.
The other was a #ttrpg my friends & I made for the M.U.S.C.L.E cosmic wrestling league. We had no idea what we were doing. It was so strange, but tons of fun.
