The Stochastic Game

My “amnesiac werewolves” adventure for RuneQuest is now with my editor. Next: my “Goonies in Glorantha” intro campaign, a Vaesen mystery with a naked violin player, a Delta Green case containing the word “soporinth”, and a Call of Cthulhu scenario set in BC,Canada #TTRPG #writing

JM DeFoggi and his family are having a rough year so you can help them a bit by contributing to this GoFundMe or, if you’ve been thinking about buying some of JM’s work like his BRP-inspired Bronze Age fantasy game “Jackals”, now’s the time!

Rolemaster has at least NINE different outcomes for a roll! Such a narrative #TTRPG! Much Story Now! Very modern!

Homer: “As he spoke, Patroclus put on his armour. Achilles ran his fingers across Patroclus’ queer ass.”

English translators: “CUIRASS! Achilles ran his fingers across Patroclus’ CUIRASS!”

“Call of Cthulhu has too many skills!”

Me: OK, sure, thankfully there are also minimal #TTRPG systems out there

“Mothership is a great simple system!”

Me:

I haven’t played Rolemaster since high school. I remember character creation and weapon attack/fumble/etc tables, but I have zero memory of initiative every round or (gasp!) tracking the percentage of time spent on actions. I think our GM hand-waved all that shit away? #TTRPG

Rolemaster can’t be THAT complicated if all the rules fit in less than 20 pages, right? RIGHT? #TTRPG

Every time you go to sleep, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard releases a couple of new albums. At this point I’ve lost track of which ones I’ve listened to or not…

Woah the zoom lens on the iPhone 14 Pro is pretty good!

Oh I hadn’t noticed that Sithu Aye had released Senpai 3 a couple years ago… their music can get too easily repetitive but the Senpai theme always makes me happy!
