@SonicusMaximus @archon I like that the way the right is illustrated to look like they never move. Not a bias representation at all lol.

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@dLsd_25 Good, immersive game worlds end up almost writing the story for you . A world in which characters can become enmeshed, provide meaningful reasons to pursue goals, long and short term. Rather than just mission/monster of the week encounters. This is how games run for years.

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@dLsd_25 Don’t start your group playing dnd, you will never get them to play anything else. Start with something else, move around more.
That aside, try to run games with plenty of lore and npc interactions. NPC’s can be so much more than ‘mission givers’ [god I hate that term].

@thiseffingm WELL I HAVE NEVER KILLED ANY PLAYERS.....PLAYER CHARACTERS YES, BUT PLAYERS NO. iS THAT A THING?

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@elvenmaidinn Yes, way back in the day, awesome skirmish game with masses of flavour if you want to run it like an rpg. Wish I still owned a copy.

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@roguecaliber I play other ttrpg’s….where does that place me?

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@YangYanZhao4 @roguecaliber It kind of already is……

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@PixelCanuck @McGowanJohnN @blacklodgegames Player agency applies to the whole group not just one player, there is a point at which you have to accept that it’s a group activity, or leave the game.

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@KennethProven So Runequest is not the only game with cool ducks now? Well, I’m all about RQ, but I’m glad the Durulz are getting love elsewhere.

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@Thewearyadvent1 Ouch, yeah I remember, that one hit hard.

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@TinDogPodcast @Chaosium_Inc I have the pdf, and I know the book will under the Christmas tree. It might not be a surprise, but I guarantee I won’t be disappointed this Christmas! This rule system is amazeballs.

@elvenmaidinn @JohnGPettus @LaFinDesToute If u don’t want to run dnd 5e, because u just don’t like WOTC, that your business. I don’t know why people feel u need to give a reason not 2 run a particular system anymore. Play what u enjoy. It’s a game ffs. Hope all goes well, & u end up with a great bunch of players whatever

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@Thewearyadvent1 It is hard to beat. Don’t think anyone has managed it yet.

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@ThatOtherFish1 Ok, well game design certainly moved on with you!

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@theGROGNARDfile I don’t think I have ever even seen that picture. Congrats.

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@BeardedHalfling I invited girls into my game back in the 90’s [yeah I know the horror]. A couple of players left, but in the end the group went from 4 players to 9. I don’t care if it ruined the game for the ones that left, everyone else had a blast. Gatekeep at your peril fools!

[Elwood Short @ShortElwood]

@XOtesla @AllyraHorrorIM It took me years to find a copy of that soundtrack. Breathtaking music.
