I really wish I had more #TTRPG things to post here. At this point, I've got a primary and backup #MasksANewGeneration (#Masks) games, a primary #Pathfinder game, and we're working on getting a time to make characters for a backup #ADnD2e game at some point, but we've been reliably unreliable in meeting.

I've been spending a lot of time reading up on news and politics, because as an American, I'm in the thick of it all and I'm less likely to panic if I know what's going on. However, I don't want to turn my account into a highly politicized one.

I do miss RPG shop talk though. I keep my eyes on the hashtags. I just haven't had any burning questions I wanted to ask folks.

Looks like I'm running a backup game for our #Masks group. The players are okay with another #MasksANewGeneration game but with a lighter tone. I'm thinking about a mix of #QuantumLeap, #Sliders, and the #CrossTimeCaper run of #Excalibur, one of the series that really got me into collecting comics.

The overall idea will be a team of heroes who are forced to hop through different dimensions, probably heavily influenced by movies, TV shows, or books that I'm into. Everyone seems to want something lighter in tone and I can certainly do that for them!

#TTRPG #GMLife

After about a two month break (holidays, player moving, weather, and disease), we finally got back to my #MasksANewGeneration game.

The heroes had to deal with a pair of human supremacists (Whiteout and Slay Belle) and a union security guard (Jacked Frost), intergalactic arms merchant parents, and the line between being a super powered cop and vigilante.

I was afraid I was going to be rusty, and that I had lost the story plot, but it came back like riding a bike. Lots of screaming, honking car horns, and gravel in my knee. But fun was had by all.

I've gotten my "How to run Masks: a New Generation" pieces up on my site, made them much more legible. Lemme know if you have questions, I'll opine further!

Do you have a favorite campaign that you played in or ran for players?

Favorite campaign I played in was the #Dragonlance #WarOfTheLance 3.5 #DnD campaign we played a few years back. We had some amazing characters fighting against a tide of evil.

For campaigns I've run, I can't decide between the two I'm currently working on.

The #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords campaign I'm running is a Christmas gift for my wife from a few years back. I've got #ADHD and I'm super proud of myself for making it half way through a 400+ campaign book. And I feel like everyone is having a good time.

The #MasksANewGeneration #PBTA game I'm running is all me. I've got a crew of absolutely awesome players and I feel fortunate that my sessions have risen to their levels. The stories have had some twists that the players didn't see coming and it's all mine. This isn't a published campaign but I've been running for... maybe a year or so now, with some breaks here and there. I'm on hiatus at the moment but I've been plotting the next trade/campaign.

#TTRPG #TTRPGQuestionOfTheDay #GMLife

#TTRPG players and GMs, what are you currently playing? What do you wish you were playing?

Currently running

- #Pathfinder 1e. Not a fan of the crunch, but it's for my wife
- Taking a short break from #MasksANewGeneration, a #PoweredByTheApocalypse #PBTA supers game but ready to dive back in to the GM seat at a moments notice
- #Trinity #Adventures game. Character creation was a headache compared to other #WOD #WorldOfDarkness games but the characters are fun
- Our #MonsterHearts2 game should be starting up again at some point

Wish I was playing
- #13thAge for the amount of say players get in world building
- #GURPS for the complete characters you get after creation, which CAN be a real chore
- #D6StarWars as it was one of the first games I played and I really like the system
- #CastlesAndCrusades #CNC for the old school style with modern sensibilities
- #VampireTheMasquerade or #VampireTheRequiem. I've got a #VTR campaign I want to run at some point, but I don't know if/when I'll get to it. A long term obsession I haven't had the chance to play in 15-20 some years at this point
- #StarTrek #LastUnicornGames. I like the way they handled life/career paths

#GMLife

Yesterday, we finally started our #Masks game after the #sessionZero last month. We've got a Nova, a Bull, an Outsider and my Protege. I highly suspect our team works well right until it doesn't - our highest Mundane stat is +0, with it being my Mentor's Denied label.

I really liked how the MC framed the situations as comic panels. Plus, there was the obligatory barrage of jokes and puns.

I'm really looking forward to the next game already!

SC Beryl lehnt ab, neuer Avatar des Engels der Freiheit zu werden.

Diskussion, was mit dem Engel zu tun sei. SC Fractal besteht auf Herausgabe an die Young Elites, aber Beryl gibt den Engel der Lighthouse Crew.

Zurück auf der Erde hat SC Roxannes Schwarm Artie eine Party. Die beiden kommen zusammen. SC Lisa küsst Beryl.

Fractal geht allein, trifft die Jung-Mithelden Bonsai, Prince & Massage. Er bietet an sie auf eine Party auf Vega mitzunehmen.
