This post was liked by @MonteJCook and @TonyDiTerlizzi. To explain why I am experiencing nerd nirvana I am running Planescape Tuesday and working on my own #TRPG called Dead Gods.
@MonteJCook @TonyDiTerlizzi To explain why this affects me so we have to go back to 1997. I was 14 and walking into Monty's Used Books in Kansas City. I hope they are doing well. Lord knows I put their kids through college. I was not a huge roleplayer at the time. Sure I played with my Uncle every other -
@MonteJCook @TonyDiTerlizzi 2/week. Some DnD and a lot of Marvel Superheroes. Still have a soft spot for that game. But I wasn't the collector I am now. And then I saw it.

Planescape. The original box set, a couple of the Monstrous Compendiums, and the adventure Dead Gods. The art caught my eye because-

The #TTRPG market is so weird in that it has a shocking number of titles promoted for a given style whose systems just do not do that. It is pretty much the norm. This covers everything from #TRPG titans to smaller #indiegames.
If you randomly name a #TTRPG and look at how it is marketed (by both the publisher(s) and fans) vs what it actually does, you have at least a 50/50 shot of naming an example. (Unless you're way deep into one of a few #TRPG #indiegame niches.) It's an endemic issue.
We can even leave #DnD and its derivatives completely out of it. The problem with #TTRPGs still remains. It is still the norm to have rulesets that do not do what they say or at best (or perhaps worse depending on POV) the description is technically correct but deeply misleading.

Big news for NEVER Stop Smiling! (drivethrurpg.com/product/319137…)
We are expanding it into a full multi-title #TTRPG setting. Over time, we will add 4 more walled metros in their own #TRPG games. Each with their own perspective of the broken world and unique way of cheating death.
First on our schedule is Angel Symphony Restoration. Keep the peace, explore the underground Underworld, and pilot giant bio-mechanical Angels against the Heresy League, Leviathans from the deep wastes, and others that would dare attack Revelation City.
#indiegame #TTRPG #TRPG
Revelation City is a keystone metro, responsible for the intercity trade networks and more aware of the world than others. However, the nature of the broken world is still a mystery and curse of forgetfulness & lost history also infects them.

Analog Game Studies has been commenting on the social politics of D&D -- including dynamics of ideology, racism, sexism, disability, and other aspects -- for over 6 years.

A list of D&D-related greatest hits, for those interested

Thread:
Dungeons in D&D themselves were a product of a specific set of Cold War fantasies, as @aarontram argues. Caves and bunkers became early sites of game design fascination and mapmaking, with thermonuclear war as a lurking backdrop.

The act of playing D&D, argues @nickmizer, involves rapid frame switching between many different modes of attention and storytelling.

People seek our advice bc of our large #playtesting pool. Real #IndieGameDev talk? It was PURE LUCK. We have no special advice. Me (Liv) and Jim went to school in the States. One of our classmates knew the Rev from LGBT and adult sex ed presentations. #TTRPG #indie #TRPG (1/4)
We three ran a #LARP Rev Casey wrote. He ran a game in his home city. 2 other cities ran LARPs too. Plus a gaggle of "LARPletops". By the end, we had over 200 people who played the game. The Dallas and Boston ppl especially stuck around, *starting* us with 60+ ppl. #TTRPG (2/4)
The Rev is... prolific. Non-stop idea machine. Endless notes & brainstorms. Piles of material, from fragmentary concept notes to full drafts. 1/2 the original testers (around 30) stuck around and built tables. Jim and I kept at it as #playtest leads. #TTRPG #indiedev #RPGs (3/4)

OK, I got permission to spew. I (Liv) am currently running the playtest rounds on a diceless/LARP version of Motif. Player facing bidding system for actions. Flat difficulties/spend costs. Similar story pool for bidding on story elements. #TTRPG #indiedev
Did not think I would like the narrator bleed. But it really works. Color me wrong. It was empowering. The resource management tactics are great too. PvP is ugly by raw mechanics (everyone autosuceeds). RP is pushed because of limited resource pools. LOVE IT.
All that to say: Picking up Jim's role on this one and project managing the manuscript for the #Motif Parlour Engine. Fine-tuned for diceless parlour games and #theaterstyle #LARP. A radical rewrite of the diceless system that ran the old Arthur's Legacy game. #TTRPG #indiedev

I'm going to start a #DnD formatting thread with this tweet to note some common pitfalls I notice while editing adventures. I'll come back to it as I have more thoughts. #RPG #TRPG #TTRPG
When you write an NPC's statistics in parentheses next to their name, it should look like this: NAME (ABBREVIATED ALIGNMENT SEX OR GENDER SUBRACE RACE STATISTICS). e.g. Fireface McDragon (LG female mountain dwarf knight)
Always indent inline subheads. Those are the subheads that are in bold and italics.
