  <title>Dungeons & Dragons - Storm King's Thunder</title>
  <link>http://tilde.town/~dozens/gamelog/index.html</link>
  <pubDate>2021-05-02</pubDate>
  <description>
    My original long running D&D campaign with my original gaming group. Calling it 'on hiatus' is generous. It's dead in the water. We haven't played in a year. But I just can't let it go.

  <title>Troika! - So You've Been Thrown Down A Well</title>
  <link>http://tilde.town/~dozens/gamelog/index.html</link>
  <pubDate>2021-04-29</pubDate>
  <description>
    So we started playing this one game and the the GM vanished, so I stepped in and turned it into So You've Been Thrown Down A Well, which was super fun. Highlight: the insectoid race who rules as written couldn't speak, so in play-by-post, the communicated exclusively via emoji.

    Abandoned by gm after a valiant effort at keeping it going which is sad. Andy was one of the most creative and generous GMs ever, creating original playscii artwork for us, and providing us with groovy vintage vinal soundtracks.

  <title>Troika! - 13 Story Bizarre</title>
  <link>http://tilde.town/~dozens/gamelog/index.html</link>
  <pubDate>2021-12-12</pubDate>
  <description>
    Originally supposed to be a really quick adventure with my core Troika pbp group, but has been slogging along for months now. I'm about to just end it so we can move on to something else.

  <title>Troika! - Dome Riders (Homebrew)</title>
  <link>http://tilde.town/~dozens/gamelog/index.html</link>
  <pubDate>2021-05-15</pubDate>
  <description>
    One of the most tragic stories of 2021 both in-game and without. Epic setting dreamed up by GreyWarden, and then when they abondened the game, me and fraidy_cat and jade decided to keep playing by ourselves using a GM emulator. It was a great experiment in collaboration and self-government, and it was really going places. We have 22 pages of original setting content in a google doc. But then a huge in-game encounter killed our NPC leader and things never really recovered from that. Currently on infinite hiatus.

  <title>Pathfinder - Agents of Edgewatch</title>
  <link>http://tilde.town/~dozens/gamelog/index.html</link>
  <pubDate>2022-02-02</pubDate>
  <description>
    Pathfinder is everything I hate about ttrpgs. I only keep playing this because it's the only way this particular friend group continues to get together, so I'll probably keep playing it forever, hating the game and enjoying the company of my friends.
Update 2022-02-02: We killed this campaign as a group to try out something new. New system, new characters, new game. Inject some life and some fun into this struggling beast.

  <title>Troika - Cocaine and Alligators: Florida Man Sphere</title>
  <link>http://tilde.town/~dozens/gamelog/index.html</link>
  <pubDate>2021-05-23</pubDate>
  <description>
    Fun pick-up game from Melsonia discord. The game hilariously involves googling random Florida Man stories to create NPCs and encounters throughout the game. Could have honestly done without the whole police violence part in the middle. Good times overall though! I think this was my first time playing Troika in real time.

  <title>Cthulhu Dark - Garrets Ranch</title>
  <link>http://tilde.town/~dozens/gamelog/index.html</link>
  <pubDate>2021-10-31</pubDate>
  <description>
    Kyle ran us a game of Cthulhu Dark! Played with Josh and Mike and wendi. Investigate Garret's Ranch in Fate, Texas. Everybody escaped intact and alive. A very simple but very flexible game. I liked how you can boost your roll with a cost with the insight die. And we did a good job of using the failure die once or twice. Occupation is really important and you can kind of cripple yourself if you pick something off like "uber driver" like josh did. Nobody took advantage of infinite rolls, and I think somebody suppressed insight only once. Which is all to say that for a rules light game, you kind of have to remember a lot. Anyway, it was fun!

    beautiful craptastic chaos at galgoricon 2021! Galgorian and Spooky Rusty ran a two table game with players constantly teleporting between the two locations before joining up at the final encounter. It was bonkers and fun. Big cast of characters, almost 12 players

    Zig's first time DM-ing! A series of oneshots on a mysterious island. Getting to play with Alex again is fun. The characters escalate from session to session from level 3 to 6 to 9 etc. Have played two so far. Having a lot of fun playing and getting to make new characters all the time.

    super good! ran for z and j. the premise was 'Cheesy Hallmark Christmas movie for OSE' and I think they pulled it off really well. Players arranged for the best ending possible: get /everybody/ to meet up at the docks: dinaz and lucretia to steal the ship (desperate move by L to get on the naughty list) both bounty hunters, yvette and midge, to capture dinaz and lucretia + bitter; winter and loss there, snow to arrange a romantic sleigh ride with Z and Loss... it was a beautiful chaotic mess that was super fun. five thumbs up.

    Radsauce. Ran it with Carter, Hilary, and Jimmy. It went a bit over an hour, and the we finished it up in a bit over an hour the next day. Not positive I got all the rolls right, but the players seemed to have fun. I got a couple *wtf* moments out of them which seems like a success. I think there might need to be something said upfront about how the point of some of the weirdness is just that it is weird. That is, not every theme is a clue to the answer to the mystery. (Speaking directly of the puppet theme in this adventure.) There was interest in continuing with the othe mysteries in the text, so we might start that next week

    okay so first of all this is a historic game because after years of inviting her to join me in my hobby, this is the first time baba agreed and actually joined. bittersweet: she did not have fun.
nor did i, to be honest. this was a very challenging game to run. i felt stressed out and frustrated the whole time. the clues were super vauge. it was hard to understand a new system, and the mystery, and also stay on top of helping people play their character. There was also a bunch of the game that I should have just thrown out because it was not applicable/appropriate for a one-shot. Also all of the clues are objects. There's no way to have a clue come up in conversation without the person running away so they could find an object, or somehow describing the object for some reason.
I had two players (pete and ari) who had never played a game before, pete was kind of lost. i should have thrown out abilities and had a straight 2d6 roll.
that said, it was a great group. a real convergence of spheres.
I don't know, i'd run it again. I imagine i'll feel more prepared the second time around. the players (except for pete) all seemed to have fun
