The Stochastic Game

Ramblings of General Geekery

Some cool things in the Sailor Moon #TTRPG: a history of magical girl and shojo manga/anime, character sheets for the series’ protagonists, GM guidance that includes effectively doing a session zero, and advice for adapting different genders to the game!


The Sailor Moon #TTRPG and “Resource Book” is a 1998 game written by Mark MacKinnon, who isn’t a stranger to adapting anime to the table. It uses a 2D6 mechanic, point-buy character creation system, and walks the fine line between playing the TV series vs playing your own stuff.


The Dee Sanction is a great occult investigation game set in the Late Tudor period. These are supplements: a book of six short adventures, some new occult powers, and a “character journal”. Probably my next choice for an “interlude” game #ttrpg


Speaking of moderating social media posts, this is an interesting article about the “Immortal Myths About Online Abuse“. IMHO we had it right in the late 90s/early 00s: small communities, hands-on moderators, easily banned assholes.
