#Somnium RPG: We won't make you consult formulas and charts every ten seconds.
But our system DOES actually know the difference between a mace and a shortsword.

"Realism in RPGs is like Jello: you can carry it gently and let it wobble, or you can grip it tightly and make a big mess."
-Me, a weird simulationist who prefers his Jello in less math-heavy flavors
"[Player behavior] will either make your game amazing, or completely ruin all your hard work. Be sure to thank players who show up on time to every session, are
polite during gameplay, and encourage others to respect your game as well."

#ttrpg#RPG#dnd#PlayerTips IF you can't make it to game, please call/text/whatever your DM. They worked hard to make game. For you.
#DMtips IF your players skip out and don't tell you try to be understanding. If they keep doing it, get new players. You're not the bad guy.
Excerpt from pg. 194 (World Lore - Misc. Culture). This one was inspired by a truly bizarre session with our playtesters where everyone took turns adding rules to a sport. 😃
Anybody else invent weird sports during a campaign to spice up their #RPG world?
One #RPG pet peeve of ours is when everyone routinely absorbs massive amounts of damage. In #Somnium it's still possible to make an extremely durable "tank," but for the majority of characters, ways to avoid a hit (like this Destroyer lich's shielding) are far more important.
@burnthecomedian I consumed SO much advice before starting to DM. A lot of it is really useful but literally nothing is better than getting in there and making mistakes. Learn from them, make a note if you can, and try to do better next time. It's a skill like anything else, takes time to master.
Somnium author @SethVannier is trying to turn our #tabletop#RPG into an #indie video game. Follow him for entertainment and tragic programming misadventure... 😃 https://t.co/Ignwi3ECwO
Tonight's adventures in #GameMaker#RPG creation:
1. Easily added a complex ability; became overconfident.
2. Remembered that the AI must also be given that ability; became less confident.
3. Game froze; spent 2 hours hunting for unrelated infinite loop.
I WILL YET PREVAIL.
#Somnium is high #fantasy, but with the technology of an extinct civilization filling the role of "magic." Here Necromancers inspire fear just like their counterparts in other universes...but look closely at the bones of this "undead" and you'll notice the robotic tendrils.
Due to the bloody Imperial Wars, Lur-Asko's politics are now split between market anarchy and constitutional city-states.
Does your #fantasy#RPG setting explain why private adventuring is so necessary, or at least why huge weapons don't get you promptly arrested by the nobility?
