Hello #ttrpg #indierpg ! 😃

I'm Mansfeld, I blog a lot about tabletop roleplaying games and I've created a couple of small TTRPGs. On this profile, I'll continue what I did on Twitter: sharing thoughts and recent works.

You can find my works here:

I've made roughly 50% of work to re-skin my current #ttrpg project. The draft title is "Stranger in a Foreign Land". Remaining 50% is to re-write all Moves, especially that resources (and it's tracks) mean something different fiction-wise.

Imagine playing for shenanigans, aestethics, colour. Acting in it's essence. Secure from actual weight and consequences of your actions. Safe from The Main Story of the campaign...

I introduced the term called "Scrambled Eggs Play" for #ttrpg .

One of my Polish colleagues, Vdonnut wrote a blogpost about feedback loops in #ttrpg. Including #fate #dnd and #bitd.

What articles about TTRPGs and autism/neurodiversity have in common?

For both of them, release date is pretty dam important.

We finally reached Tier II of our settlement in Mountain Home #fitd campaign. That means more dwarves (up to several hundreds), better guilds and trading results, but also bigger risk from entanglement rolls (random events)...

That's in of Eight Year in-game.

Quick, before r/rpg Redditors will downvote it and delete into oblivion!

Summing up misconceptions about what PbtA really is finally reached Reddit:

This is a fine day to sail forward or back through Seven Seas! ARR! I invite you to try out "Arrpacas of Seven Seas" tabletop party game: you'll be playing alpacas vying for authority in a captured pirate ship.

I spent recent weekend on:
- Eating sushi as a celebration of getting a new job offer.
- Session 0 for Rebel Crown #fitd #ttprg and Session "Kinda 1st" as a Recon+Sortie then making a Domain for Retinue We divided the preliminary session into two meeting.

I've found one common thing of Trad #TTRPG and Dune universe.

In Dune, mentats are biological "computers" as a replacement for advanced AI.

In Trad RPG, GMs are biological equivalent of a video game with it's own hardware.

Both mentats and GMs are biological computing devices.

In next Tuesday of 21th June, there will be a lot of EEEK. A new #ttrpg about #alpacas will emerge!

EEEK!

I'm currently awaiting the second round of editing for "Arrpacas of Seven Seas" manual text. It's #ttrpg about pirate #alpacas deciding where to sail.

Here is the alpaca photo.

I've made an attempt to discern not two, but at least five diferent resolution types for #ttrpg . In short: there's something more than sorting out stuff into Task/Conflict.

My design goal, however, is to make NTs feel how non-NT folk struggles with NT world. The moment of realization should take place during the play, not after first reading of a manual...

It's like - "Incorrect" might work well with just editing work, but neurodivergent people don't need to play it (because they already experience things like in this game) and for NTs there will be only observation left for Fruitful Void.

I'm awaiting for 2 of 3 consultant's opinion for "Incorrect" game draft, but after the first one I feel that I need to "re-skin" this game in order to make it less up-front. It could be the functional game, but not compelling enough for neurotypical folks to play it.
