Hi, I’m Michael, Storm’s human. I’m a graphic designer, musician, and student working toward my bachelor’s in graphic design marketing. I made this page to share more of my life, not to sell my work. I rescued three kittens: Storm, Bubby, and Princess Bubblegum. (In that order of photos too) I’ll share their stories soon. If you want to see my art, find me under Ambient Wolf. Thanks for the warm welcome.

#1: First store where you bought a TTRPG

Cant actually remember if I've bought any of my ttrpg books. I dont own that many - most of the ttrpg books back home belong to my dad and I just politely nick them - and the ones I do own have mostly been Christmas or birthday gifts. There is a small game shop just a short train ride away though that have had dnd books and I definitely bought a set of dice there.

TTRPG questions and answers: a thread

Because this also seems like a really cool get-to-know-you thing. Probably not going to stick to the format of one-a-day because I'm impatient and also forgetful (great combo!) and have other responsibilities (alas).

But enjoy!! :]

So yes, go check out anything and everything by @wundergeek . You won't be disappointed.

I got into RPGs through a small black and white picture book. It was about an astronaut exploring a new planet, and you made decisions and turned to different pages based on those choices.

This prepped me for when I would discover Fighting Fantasy and Choose Your Own Adventure booksa s a teen.

And from there, I found the Fighting Fantasy RPG and Dragon Warriors, and persuaded some school friends to give it a try one lunch time.

I don't think I've experienced "bleed".

As I understand it, that's when emotions and such carry over into the real world in a troubling way.

I've felt emotions playing - like being creeped out playing a horror game, or frustrated at failure - but I don't think I've had that experience. But also, I don't seek immersion in ttrpgs, so maybe that helps?

18. The most memorable monster I've encountered in an RPG was the False Hydra. I can't say much about it, because you can only experience the awe and wonder once. Our GM handled it wonderfully and it was one of the most intense and confounding experiences of my gaming career.

If you are a player in a fantasy RPG and your GM uses homebrew content, please don't look up anything about it.

And if you are a GM who likes mystery and horror, check this out: https://goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2014/09/false-hydra.html

False Hydra

Common wisdom holds that false hydras come from the ground.  They spontaneously originate as undifferentiated masses of flesh. Potatoes that...

12. Have you designed a dungeon?

Yes, constantly. Free-form when my sister and I were tiny, then sheets and sheets of graph paper and keys and notes when I was in elementary school, and I am pretty sure I have never run a module as-written. This is my favorite, that I've modded several different ways over the last 40 years:
