"You don't have to make optimal decisions as a player."
I forget where I got this snippet of #roleplaying advice, but it's something I keep having to remind myself when I play. I don't play often, I mostly GM. But when I play, I can get decision paralysis because I don't have full information.
Really good advice for players.
Gamemastering a tabletop roleplaying campaign is a lot like being a TV showrunner, I suspect - or at least, GMing the kind of campaigns that I run. I find myself recognizing plot arcs and twists in shows, and coming up with alternative or better options as I watch.
It comes from years of handling long-term story arcs and overlapping shorter-term stories with continuing characters. After a while finding new plot twists and arcs becomes second nature. I've been doing it so long that I do it in my dreams!
It's a little frustrating, because I have the skill...but I'll never have the option to make use of it outside of a roleplaying campaign.
A baseball bat with "LEARN" would have also gone over well for the same reason, but Mossy's a romantic at heart.

We apprehended one suspect, but another escaped. Unfortunately, during the battle all of our horses were killed.
We are now discussing whether we have enough necromantic knowledge to assemble one or two working horses from the remains.
It appears we will be walking home.

Rebellion Themed TTRPG Campaigns: Guerrillas, Freedom Fighters and Pirates
I've been wanting to get back into writing campaign settings and ideas down, so thought I would once more blow the dust off the blog. Yesterday I encountered some really interesting blog posts about trying new ways of writing D&D to avoid some of its western and colonial tropes. The general idea that has been kicked around for, well, pretty much forever at this point is that D&D is about killing things and taking their stuff, and that is generally a bad idea with a lot of really unfortunate […]A nice positive start to the day started writing for the first session of the VtM Sabbat Chronicle.
I am really looking forward to running it as the players have created a wonderful pack for the Chronicle.

My DnD group have met up to play in person for the first time, and Chris is an even better GM in person!
As Mossfoot continues the story, we learn that Hamaestra's actions did not go completely unnoticed.
Oh, and Rebecca's getting a bike.

In the end it has been a productive Saturday as enough material for the next VtM session on Tuesday done.
Now I can start thinking about the first session of the VtM Sabbat game I am running in two weeks.

Please check if you have a gaming club in manageable reach of you. My life is filled with fine people, some now dearest friends and others great gaming acquaintances because of my IRL gaming club. When I travel to events with my club t-shirt people I don't know come and say hello.
If you don't, start one. I can advise. It's not as hard as you think.
