An example of Andrew's First Rule of TTRPGs before I actually coined it:

This post asking about cool dice:

led to Shiver RPG

http://shiverrpg.com

which is on my list to try this year, and which I almost certainly wouldn't have otherwise found, as its community is completely separate than the others I'm currently in.

What other #TTRPG games have custom and/or cool dice? Dice I have already: Star Wars (Fantasy Flight Games Version), The One Ring, Candela Obscura, Vaesen. Dice I know of, probably won't get: Genesys, Fudge. Looking for dice that are associated with a particular gaming system, either by the type of dice, or the style of the dice.

This afternoon at #Contingency2024 I ran my "League of Extraordinary Gen X" game for the #ShiverRPG

Hi Mastodon & dicecamp!
Today was quite interesting.

* I got my package from Free League Publishing, it's #Dragonbane #DragonbaneRPG full bundle.
* I managed to handle a couple of bills.
* I got 2 players for my upcoming #CallofCthulhu #CallofCthulhuRPG campaign #MasksOfNyarlathotep and now we're looking for a 3rd player to start.
* I recorded 2 Dragonbane videos, 2 #ShiverRPG and a #YZE #SRD video.

What a day.
Btw here's the game's link if you want to be our 3rd 😏

I ran a session of the #ShiverRPG last night and as I suspected, it's hella broken. You get a success on an easy roll with beginner stats less than 50% of the time. I know it's a horror game, but that's brutal.

There are ways to improve your odds, like narrating an advantage and getting support from other PCs, but bringing that in on every roll gets cumbersome. Even with that, we're still talking about the *easiest* rolls. Task checks can get *five times* harder. Gonna house rule this sucker.

I am prepping to run the #ShiverRPG at #ConcreteCow23a but I need to ask a question about it; has anyone got experience with the game or know where I can speak to someone about it?
