Backup Character Productions

Dev diary of my transparent development process of The Sinking Legacy: A system-agnostic toolkit of creeping dread and a megadungeon campaign in D&D and OSR.

@RealmBuilderRPG What do you like the most about it?

[Backup Character Productions @BackupCharTV]

@YoDanno Uffa... no kidding. I can't even have a thoughtful conversation with someone without them whipping out the phone every three minutes going "oh, I have to find that" or "what was the name of that..."

@SandyofCthulhu Well it didn't start out that huge, right? Had to protect itself while growing up

@RealmBuilderRPG "beer fueled brainstorming session" gives me bad flashbacks... I'm sober now four years.

@MedievalScholar I am currently enjoying the first season myself. Halfway through. I think it is interesting how they are leaning so heavily into the german language for naming. I guess it increases feelings of medieval fantasy for a japanese audience. What do you think?

Once time actually costs a torch and an encounter check, "is it worth a turn?" becomes the most common line at my table. Players get decisive, they start leaving things behind. How do you handle dungeon time, real turns or all vibes? https://t.co/G6pkn7x3uV #dnd

@CorpseKings the most trademarked perhaps...

[Backup Character Productions @BackupCharTV]

@CorpseKings Yes. I got shot by a critical hit crossbow bolt to the head in the first fight 20 minutes into the game and then I had to sit in the corner for the rest of the evening. Turned me off of TTRPGs for years.

[Backup Character Productions @BackupCharTV]

@CorpseKings Fun! Also useful! Who else is going to do all that cleaning up? ;)

[Backup Character Productions @BackupCharTV]

@mattcolville If I see an actual play online with 5 different heads and all with different cameras, lighting and different mics, I turn it off.

@OriginalGrogna1 I despise d4s... everything about them. Have never once had a satisfying roll with a d4.

[Backup Character Productions @BackupCharTV]

@OriginalGrogna1 Frosthaven has Piranha Pigs! So... there's that.

[Backup Character Productions @BackupCharTV]

@CorpseKings Only soft packages

[Backup Character Productions @BackupCharTV]

@LawDogStrikes Oh yeah. I picked it up and did my best as a DM for a few years. Strong memories.

@Nerdcognito A table can do whatever the people at that table want to do. Why do you care?
It's not D&D / wotc who's banning evil.

[Backup Character Productions @BackupCharTV]

@GoodAaron Send them where?! 🥶

[Backup Character Productions @BackupCharTV]

@WhittersRichard It's beautiful :)

What do Dostoevsky and Frieren have in common with D&D? Naming. In my campaign. Raskolnikov = Russian for "split." Frieren's cast is named in loaded German. I stole the trick: you don't play a hero, you play a Sinker — a Bondsman who signed a Claim. https://t.co/EusIIRSpHE #dnd
