The Hook - Eureka OST
Listen while the GM reads through the hook in the first session of the Eureka adventure you are about to play, or while the investigators are discussing their plans and findings in a casual meal scene. Composition by @imsobadatnicknames2.tumblr.com

May I Come In? - Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy OST
Another song from the modest Eureka OST by imsobadatnicknames2.tumblr.com.

There are also Maidens (often barefoot) who these undead PCs are reliant on for this game’s equivalent of “leveling up.” EXP is spent on stat upgrades, and accumulated EXP is dropped upon death for anyone to “pick up.”
Also a PC can be a Maiden for the party.
Fatigue builds up in the character’s HP track, temporarily shortening it, meaning the more Fatigue they have, the more vulnerable they are. A PC could hypothetically attack a half-dozen times in a single turn, but doing so might leave them exhausted and unable to dodge, block, or parry the response.
Other things that stuck around from the initial Dark Souls idea are a stamina-management-based action-economy. With a few exceptions, during turn-based action, a PC can do a hypothetically unlimited number of things, but most actions cause Fatigue.
They’re immortal, but far from invincible. Dying repeatedly takes a toll on their mind, body, and spirit, and they will need to make progress towards their goals to reverse this gradual decay.
In Death Bed, the PCs are dead. Un-dead. When it was initially conceived, it was a lot more specifically Dark Souls inspired which has changed over development, but Dark Souls DNA has stuck around, like that the PCs “respawn” at bonfires when they die.

thank you
Accidentally ended up writing a TTRPG essay i would roughly title "Marketing, So-called 'Collaborative Storytelling,' and How Hasbro Sells You Your GM's/Your Own Labor"
It's way too much to push through bluesky's character limit, so here is a tumblr link.

I'm going to link it here in a little while once I'm sure I didn't leave any major mistakes in.
it's on tumblr, a website actually conducive to communication and posting.
i just busted my ass on a TTRPG essay I would roughly title "Marketing, So-called 'Collaborative Storytelling,' and How Hasbro Sells You Your GM's/Your Own Labor" but it's way too big to bother pushing it through bluesky's assinine character limit.
patreon update shortly
modules can be great when they're more sandboxy and arent trying to have a preset plot; unfortunately "preset plot" has been the dominant module design for about 25-30 years. This is something I an my team are constantly trying to chip away against because modules CAN be really good when theyre good
you might have more luck with shorter adventures of only a few sessions if this is an issue. My team also runs a discord server at least partially dedicated to getting people into RPG groups with compatible schedules, minimal social skills needed

Link to the discord server we host where everybody votes on a different TTRPG to play after we finish playing the last one and we discuss it like a book club but for TTRPGs. It's also a great place just to discuss RPGs and find groups to play with. #ttrpgs #indiettrpgs #tabletop
Promoting your game based on how few rules it has is the TTRPG equivalent to the booktok fade of promoting books based on tropes instead of story, and both pander to anti-intellectualism.
Fight me.
