The crew continues to fight the waves of nightmares washing over the Echo in session six of #IndieOctober, where we play a different indie TTRPG for each of our 16 games this month.

Tonight, we're playing @evilhat's Don't Rest Your Head!

#GoPlay #Brisbane, a FREE tabletop RPG #ttrpg convention, on Sept 7th & 8th, has opened player registrations https://www.goplaybrisbane.com.au/register-to-play/

There are heaps of free #rpg roleplaying games on offer, including: #dnd, #dcc, #marvelmultiverse, #dontrestyourhead, #knight, #paranoia, #bladerunner, #eclipsephase, and heaps more.

#7TTRPGs that did the most to shape my tastes/expectations

1. #Scion1e, my first as a player
2. #NWoD
3. #GeniusTheTransgression
4. #DontRestYourHead, my first as a GM
5. #DawnOfWorlds, the first GM-less worldbuilding game I've played, which I still want to hack into something less high-fantasy-centric/RNG-based
6. #TheSprawl, my favorite cyberpunk TTRPG and PbtA game
7. #OnceMoreIntoTheVoid, the first Firebrands game I've played (and the first to use playing cards as a resolution mechanic)

Okay. #7TTRPGs that influenced me!

#AmberDiceless - VERY formative for me in learning to GM
#Deadlands - opened up more genres for me
#InSpectres - how I discovered the joy of players defining things
#DontRestYourHead - got me more into collaborative scenario creation
#Fiasco - my introduction to GMless games
#LadyBlackbird - opened up more effective ideas for prompt-based improv for me
#PbtA (in general) - got me thinking in terms of the story driving the rolls instead of vice/versa

Welp, had another one of those things happen where I wanted to send over a little bit of lore for someone entering my campaign of Don't Rest Your Head, started composing a message, then looked up and realized it was way past my bed time, I had enough material for multiple pages and I'd been writing for two hours straight. Mayhap I overdid it a little. 😬🤷
