If you're like me, you're always forgetting your tarot cards at home. What's a spontaneous GM to do? How to interpret a result with just dice?! Fortunately, even the humblest die has a secret etched on its surface: the Tarot of Pips. blog.trilemma.com/2024/12/th…

The mass influx of RPG folks over on the blue place make it feel like it may have hit critical mass, which is pretty cool.

Question for the OSR and beyond, does any game do high level domain play well? If so, what do you like about it?

Just watched The Night Eats the World (2018) and it's remarkably like Project Zomboid in movie form. It's like The Quiet Earth, just with infected trying to kill you. I enjoyed it!

It's funny how mechanics with a similar-seeming weight can have very different handling implications. Thread🧵

Vigilance, on the other hand, is a smaller change that I think will be heavier in practice. All I'm doing is shifting WHEN some stress points are spent, but it moves that spend to a time when nobody is thinking about encounters.

Stress banked as Vigilance also needs to expire when you rest (otherwise you can game it), so there's yet another low-stakes bookkeeping moment. We'll see if it's all worth it!

What surprise obstacle will you face in the vault room? Who intercepted the team’s getaway van? Why do the hacker and the brawler keep sneaking away for private conversations? Play Thrill of the Chase to find out and get this heist back on track! jen-adcock15.itch.io/thrill-…

Not a fan of the 'They Feed on Fear' trope, it somehow hollows things out. Like a character in a drama that does the most dramatic thing in every scene as their only motivation, there's diegetically no space between the movie's goals (be scary) and the creature's (be scary).

Any random scary thing can happen (walls run with blood, pounding on the ceiling, monster with big teeth jumps out of the tv) without any unifying pattern. Anything scary goes.
