I'm really struggling to get into TRRPG's lately with everything going on with me these days. I could really use the escape, but I'm just to bummed to go through the effort. Any tips on getting your spark back?

Even though I saw it coming, the reality of getting laid off is hitting me harder than I expected. At this point I'm wondering what I'm even still doing here.
I'm still wary of social media apps right now, but I'm hoping this app is less toxic than others have become.
I'm here, but I haven't developed a habit of being here. Recent events have caused me to shrink back from social media over the past couple months. Very disappointed with the human race lately, everywhere, not just here.
I'm totally planning on spending a lot more time here in the near future! I've just been busy changing careers, and planning my 2025 game releases π
Minimum requirements for my upcoming universal TTRPG, "Cinepic". It's built from Blood, Sweat & Steel, with a number of new mechanics to streamline the game, and a new way to transition from "story mode" to "action mode", for a more cinematic experience at the game table. Play testing soon! π
I'm working on an addendum for Blood, Sweat & Steel! I've found a number of ways to streamline okay wrote making it easier to stay in descriptive mode while transitioning from "Story Mode" to "Action Mode", as well as some updates to the sorcery system that make it even easier to use!
If you're looking for a different playing experience, this game is very different from what most people are used to!
Please share with your gamer friends! π
Cinepic is almost ready for play testing! Cinepic is a universal version of BSS. If you are looking for a TTRPG that feels more like an action movie than a traditional TTRPG, stop by my Discord to sign up for a play test! discord.gg/vgtW3ecv
One of our players had to roll with disadvantage last night, and this was their result...
It's time for my second game today! Getting ready to play Thorgrim Darkfist, 4th level Troll Warrior and Runesmith in the world of Symbaroum!
I'm all set up and ready for our livestream! This is my first time playing DCC! #DCC #DungeonCrawlClassics

After that, I'm playing some D&D 5E with my best buddy Bret and his crew! 8-10 hours of gaming today! Woo hoo!
This is how I "role" when I GM! What I love most about this setup is that it is completely mobile! RGB LED lighting, Music, Sound FX, and fog. I mostly game "Theater of the Mind", but I use whatever I can to create an immersive experience! π
Hey new followers and other #TTRPG fans! I have a new #RPG inspired by the heroic pulps of the 30s and 40s, but set in the modern world, where you can fight Nazis and fascists! Be the hero of your story and keep the world strange.
Weird Fact #2 about my game: Blood, Sweat & Steel doesn't use Hit Points. Instead, Harm (Wounds & Stress) is tracked with a non-linear system, which I believe makes it easier to describe the results during the conflict. π
I've been a fan of your ideas for more than a decade! I still have several of your articles saved and I use them for inspiration when I'm working on new stuff! :)
Yayy! I just hit 50 followers here! I'm still learning the ropes here, but really digging it so far! :)
Weird Game Fact #1: Blood, Sweat & Steel uses a Simultaneous Action resolution system as its default, so there's no Initiative. Simultaneous systems use less dice rolling, and give more info from opposed rolls, speeding up combat while giving you more info to work with! BSS offers both approaches.
Did you know there is more than one way to play Blood, Sweat & Steel? This game includes both a Simultaneous and Alternating Action resolution system, & there are 2 different dice mechanics available; Fudge/Fate dice, or you can use d6-d6. More options for different gaming styles! :)
I'm finally starting work on some quick tutorial videos for Blood Sweat & Steel! I'll be showing both the simultaneous and alternating resolution systems, using Fate dice or D6-D6, to help people pick the method that works best for their style of gaming!
If you are a TTRPG'er, and you dig making cool stories with friends, I'm a follow for follow type of person! π

That's what I was hoping for! :) I haven't had much time to play with the app yet, but I like what I've seen so far! :)
I think I'm starting to get the hang of this app, and I think I'm kinda digging it so far! :)
I'm looking to connect with people who are into tabletop RPG's, and I'm new to the platform. :)
Hello! Nice place here! Looking forward to making a little home for myself here! π
