HexDrive Zine Jam

A game jam from 2020-07-01 to 2020-08-31 hosted by Micah Anderson. Have you ever read Spelljammer? Neither have we, but it sounds pretty cool. To that end, we (Micah Anderson and Anxiety Wizard) have decided to curate...

@elmcat the fine-grained skill list of #Midgard #ttrpg (überleben +6) I guess reflects the 80s design approach of simulating fictional persons (PCs) by describing them thru atomized sets of specific skills (s. #Runequest #Rolemaster #Gurps etc.). I find it astonishing that this design philosophy is still very much present in German tradgames, such as #TheDarkEye (DSA) or the DSA heartbreaker #Splittermond (53 skills) or the recent eds. of Midgard …Like it was 1987! 2/2 #ttrpghistory

Beautiful old schoolish black white drawings from the 3rd edition (1989) of #Midgard (Germany's first #ttrpg). Some of the 3rd ed artwork by K-M Blitzer and others was already present in the 2nd ed of the game (if I remember correctly).
My appreciation for some of the 3rd ed artwork is of course rooted in my preference of #osr esthetics (and, well okay nostalgia). Many of the 3rd ed illustrations convey #SwordAndSorcery vibes or reference an ancient early medieval milieu #pnpde #ttrpghistory

I'd been collecting links to various aspects of D&D company and creator history. Adding this video as a general overview.

40 years ago this month, TSR released Rose Este’s Revolt of the Dwarves, an Endless Quest Adventure with art by Larry Elmore and Jim Holloway. Later that month a <redacted> year old me would have begged my folks to take me to B. Dalton to pick it up. 😅 #ttrpghistory

Today we have our rescheduled recording session with Ken Hite as he chats with us about Alt-History in Gaming. Do you have any questions for Ken? If so, drop them in the comments. Of course, it is time permitting but we will try to answer as many as we can. Hoping to have the episode drop within a week. 😊 https://anchor.fm/titterpigs #ttrpg #TTRPGs #ttrpghistory
Titterpigs – The TTRPG Podcast • A podcast on Anchor

Titterpigs is a podcast dedicated to the discussion of tabletop roleplaying games. Ironically, it's also the acronym for the commonly used #ttrpgs hashtag. Hosts Scott and Keith will dig their way into your eardrums and infect your brainpan. They're out to prove they have no idea what we are doing, but that won't stop them! With nearly 70 years of gaming experience between them, they have a few opinions. More importantly, they seek to be positive goodwill ambassadors for the hobby.

(Edited 😉) My lovely & talented (non-gamer) wife will be joining me on my channel for a few episodes soon to give her professional critique & evaluation on some of the gaming world's top artists. This is either going to be a lovely bonding experience or the signing of my death warrant. 🤞😅 #ttrpgart #ttrpghistory #ttrpg
