A forum admin posts reads "New Ban: Do Not Post In Support of Trump or his Administration
The following policy announcement is the result of over a year of serious debate by the moderation team. The decision is as close to unanimous as we ever get. It will not be the subject of further debate. We have fully considered the downsides and ultimately decided we have to stay true to our values. We will not pretend that evil isn't evil, or that it becomes a legitimate difference of political opinion if you put a suit and tie on it.
We are banning support of Donald Trump or his administration on the RPGnet forums. This is because his public comments, policies, and the makeup of his administration are so wholly incompatible with our values that formal political neutrality is not tenable. We can be welcoming to (for example) persons of every ethnicity who want to talk about games, or we can allow support for open white supremacy. Not both. Below will be an outline of the policy and a very incomplete set of citations.
We have a community here that we've built carefully over time, and support for elected hate groups aren't welcome here. We can't save the world, but we can protect and care for the small patch that is this board......"

The other long-running German #TTRPG / #PNPDE setting!

Though to be honest, I would probably have bought more books if the publisher was willing to sell them in PDF-only versions...

Your characters manage to pull off something utterly unique. People are surprisingly unimpressed.

August 19 1961, a car crashed into a docked submarine in Lysekil, Sweden. This is the only recorded accident between a submarine and a car.

Hmm... I was looking into Paranoia again on the off-chance I might play it again soon... and realized that what I thought was slightly outdated (the paranoia about communist traitors without even the slightest understanding of what communism is) is eerily prescient of current right-wing talking points.

Doesn't help that the disturbing belief in the infallibility of the obviously deranged Computer, the jack booted security, the clueless technologists... all feel familiar.

This new and improved Player’s Handbook is the ultimate guide for fifth edition D&D players. …

Since my #ttrpg group voted for another #DnD campaign, I suppose this purchase was inevitable.

What are people's practical experiences with this edition, compared to the previous one?

I love finding travel books like this in a #LittleFreeLibrary . There's always a lot of good #ttrpg #worldbuilding material in them - if only I could find the time to read them...

I regard #dreams as basically my brain defragmenting, and believe that they say more about my subconscious than the future.

That being said, such stuff makes for great #ttrpg fodder!

Rewrite the roles of women in fairytales, myth & folklore!

Through game-play mechanics like Defiance Rolls and collecting Empowerments, the players in Virgins & Vixens can break out of these constraints and rewrite the tale of their character! #ttrpg

An ad card for Virgins & Vixens by Golden Lasso Games. It features an old image of a woman from a fairy tale, with the words "Virgins & Vixens" over it.

A rather fascinating little video about some strange very deep holes in a forest and solving what they actually were - some good inspiration for writers of #FolkHorror and #TTRPG folks here I think!

As my little #TTRPG project of the day I used dungeon stocking procedures to make my own version of Dyson's excellent Ironspire Island. Since I am horrible at designing maps, I typically go with a premade map like this and focus on stocking and dressing it myself.
