An occasional #TTRPG thought I have: we lose a lot of gaming history because of licensed materials. I've heard how great the Ghostbusters RPG was. I know and love d6 Star Wars (2e R&E was mine), and have a new appreciation for RM, which I know through MERP.

But because they're licensed properties, they don't exist anymore. Can't reprint, licenses sold to others. Not gone, just rare and hard to get.

#ttrpg #worldbuilding tip: If you want to come up with plausible settlement patterns for your #fantasy setting, a basic understanding of Central Place Theory will help.

#WFRP 1E actually has a discussion of this right in the Core Rule Book!

Blog - Video posted with ‘unboxing’ of Power Projection: Fleet for the #TravellerRPG.

Quick reminiscence on the development of the game which that I wrote and demoed a lot for @BITS_Traveller in the early 2000s.

I'm a writer, and one of the things I use social media for is to promote my own work.

I also know how annoying it is when authors never post anything *else*. So I limit myself to one post a week. That's today.

Here's my most recent book, published by Ad Astra Games. This is my current last word on designing scientifically plausible exoplanetary systems for fiction, at least until I produce a second edition.

Blog - conceding that I was wrong.
Reflecting on why it took so long for me to pick up some of the setting edition for the current version of the #TravellerRPG.

Looking for suggestions for rules-light, genre-agnostic #TTRPG systems. I’m looking to start up a one- or two-shot that may or may not lead to a long term game. The future game is less important as I’m open to translating to another system. Free/open games are appreciated, but not necessary.

Thank you! 😊

I've been playing around with making a magnetic dungeon board for an upcoming campaign.

It'll let me make a bunch of different dungeon rooms with a little bit of paper scenery.

Do any other Traveller players use the Miller rules for M-drives in gravity wells? It encourages you to put reaction drives on your ship if you really want to survive a slight mis-jump that puts you in between worlds and too far from the star. It also encourages a ship that operates far out from the gravity source, to plot an eccentric orbit that brings them back in again so their drives will eventually resume functioning.

I'm now at the portion of going through old papers and #ttrpg notes where I can quote Gandalf: "I have no memory of this place."

But I'm about to recycle a stack of dnd2e character sheets, from the pre internet days where we carefully formatted them in a word processor, then printed them on a dot matrix printer...

Whenever I use a plot idea from a movie in a #TTRPG session, I'm always a little paranoid they'll recognize the plot while it's happening.

As it turns out, no one in my #Traveller campaign has seen "The Sting"

We should really bring back art movie posters. They looked great. — Painted movie poster from the the movie "The Sting". Paul Newman & Robert Redford at a table. We should really bring back art movie posters. They looked great.

Think I'm ready for tomorrow's game. #Roll20 build completed with everything needed to run Zozer's Far Horizon.

Using the #TravellerRPG 2e sheet which works well enough for #Cepheus. I've added oxygen readouts for the team if they use their suits and a mission time remaining (ie the 96 hours they have before they have to burn for home).

A little nervous about this (it's a long time since I ran a dedicated exploration based game. Perhaps I should watch 2010 tonight for inspiration?

When you ask the question, “What would be the fantasy equivalent of oil as a resource?” we have to talk about what oil really is as a resource and why it's narratively interesting.
