New beta rules for #DC20 dropped today.

I’m pretty interested in the Phoenix Druid since it’s very close in concept to the Druid that my friend is playing in our #dnd campaign.

Favourite part:
A flavour feature where the Phoenix Druid can boil 4L of water by touching the vessel it’s contained in for a minute.

I can see all kinds of scalding shenanigans coming out of that. 😆

I like what I’m seeing so far!

Had an absolute blast running my first #DC20 adventure this weekend! It had been ages since I last Game Mastered, but thankfully, it was just like riding a bike—smooth and fun!

I ran the #DC20 session 0 for my guys. It went really well, now I can’t wait to GM.

My #DC20 GM journey continues, my latest post is an overview how I went about learning the system and preparing a module for the group. At the end there are some helpful links to DC20 materials for players and GMs.

Learning the DC20 system

Teaching this old dog a new trick

I am still waiting on some beta reader feedback for my book and I’m starting to get cabin fever—but for #writing.

So I’ve been working through converting an adventure I made for my friends in #DC20 into something that others could use to try out the system.

I’m having fun adding in layers of homebrew (because what you need in a beta system is also some random guy’s ideas for added chaos).

The challenge is converting my improv into something other humans can use. We’ll see how goes. #ttrpg

Ein Jahr auf der Forschungsstation Concordia: die Schweizerin Jessica Studer

Jedes Jahr wählt die ESA eine Medizinerin oder einen Mediziner aus, um 12 Monate auf der Concordia-Forschungsstation in der Antarktis zu verbringen und dort biomedizinische Forschung zu betreiben, die die künftige Erforschung des Weltraums unterstützt. Im November 2023 schloss sich Jessica Studer der DC20 an, der zwanzigsten Winterbesatzung der Station, und begab sich in die extreme Isolation und die eisigen Bedingungen. In einem kürzlich erschienenen zweiteiligen Podcast von SpaceInfo berichtete Jessica Studer von ihren Erfahrungen an einem der entlegensten Orte der Erde, der noch weiter von der Menschheit entfernt ist als die Internationale Raumstation.

@SeaFury Nice! I briefly forgot summer is coming over there. 😅

I’ve been having fun with it and have even started adapting my favourite bits (like this combat challenge) to our #dnd games.

I recommend checking out the pre-made #dc20 one-shot The Hunted. It breaks down the skill and combat challenge mechanics well and it’s a good intro for players who are even new to #ttrpg in general.

Y’all. Y’all listen. #ttrpg and #dnd friends, this is so good.

The combat challenge system introduced in #dc20 is amazing.

Tonight, I had a combat experience where the party failed. Not only was it quick and dramatic, but we went into a fail state where we could keep the action and the story moving.

The transparency for the table plus failing forward just makes for this amazing flow. I am so impressed.

First part of the #FeywildWest one-shot went great last night!

Fun with character intros, riding chocobos, and the combat was solid: challenging but not overdrawn.

One of my favourite parts of #dc20 is the skill challenge. I was delighted to see the whole party come up with unique ways to handle a scenario rather than saying "everyone roll Awareness."

Same time next week where they'll learn about the mysterious gunslinger that appeared once the group bested the feyotes.

Laying out plans for a one-shot (well, two or three shot) set in the #FeywildWest.

I have seven interested players. So the plot becomes obvious: The Magnificent Seven!

Setting up the overall arc and then I’ll start digging into encounter specifics. Going to leverage the #DC20 system. It’ll be my first time setting up something from scratch there instead of using the pre-built one shot. Interested fo see how it plays out. Especially with so many players!
