#TribesInTheDark

#TribesInTheDark: A FitD rewrite of #Tribe8RPG which Kickstarted earlier this year. It’s a wonderful setting that slipped into obscurity a couple of decades ago, though some of the background hadn’t aged well. I’m glad it’s back out there, but the taste I had of the new iteration wasn’t enough to convince me to back it. Paradoxically, I think, I needed to read the full rulebook before I could commit. Whilst I’ll play PbtA/FitD games, I don’t run them. (19/25)

There are still open spots in my #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG one-shot this Sunday, from 1pm to 5pm PT. You do have to sign up with @openhearthrpg but it's free (as is playabl, it isn't like startplaying).

Yesterday was one week until the #TribesInTheDark #ttrp Kickstarter. I noted it but was busy enough that it hadn't quite set in. I checked and we have 259 followers, which doesn't seem like a lot but it's enough. This is super exciting y'all. I'm anxious about but it in a good way.

The #tribesinthedark #ttrpg Kickstarter is happening soon! The prelaunch page will be available shortly so you can follow it.

Tribe 8
Tribes in the Dark
A Forged in the Dark roleplaying game
Coming soon to Kickstarter

Wow! I am running a #Tribe8 One shot with some friends these days using #tribesinthedark and even though I had some doubts about applying it to a travel plot, it works quite well. Players and me are learning quickly how to adapt.
The horror is still there even though up until an hour ago, the most monstrous were humans, not Z'bri.

Doing a short one-shot in Blades in the Dark with @rivetgeek and some other people tonight. He was trying to think of a phrase and came up with waking nightmare.

Then he said, "Waking nightmare? Is that a thing?" and I thought, "Isn't that what we're living in the US?"

But I decided not to disrupt the game. :)

@FranigoRolls leider keine Zeit für aktives #pnpde. Aber da für das große Spielwochenende über Ostern namens #ESW, #Tribe8 auf dem Plan steht, muss ich mich da wieder einlesen. Aktuell ringe ich noch mit der Entscheidung ob ich mit dem Silhouette System oder mit dem aktuellen Playtest-Regeln für die Neuauflage #TribesInTheDark ins Rennen gehe. Neues hat ja immer seinen Charme :rm_funny:

So I found out that animated GIFs work as scene backgrounds in Owlbear Rodeo, and this is now the background for the next scene in the #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG I'm running...

I got the latest, and I think final, cover of #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG from @CITIZEN_OCHOA and I can't wait until we get final approval and I can share it. It's amazing and captures our vision.

We got the mostly finished #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG cover art from @CITIZEN_OCHOA and I can't wait to be able to show it off (and for it to be on the front of the book).

So we're playing a Tribe 8 game, the setting of which has... a lot of 90s in it. One of those bits is Ile Perdue, a dive with an S&M aesthetic.

I remember back in the 90s I envisioned this as a hard core, edgy place that characters would be hesitant to go into. But yesterday when the GM @rivetgeek said "it's basically an S&M bar" my immediate thought was, "oh, so the friendliest people on the island, with a healthy respect for consent."

We weren't able to play #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG today so instead I'm cleaning the oven. I really know how to live I guess.

We didn't play #TribesInTheDark today because adulting sucks and there were some conflicts. So a few of the players started on #TalesOfXadia #TTRPG characters for a backup game.

Session zero of #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG went really well. Got most of the character bookkeeping out of the way, lines and veils, and some good conversation and catching up. This group has good energy. Session .5 is next week when we get to break out Decuma.
