#oh also… none of my IRL friends listen to TMA and I don’t really like playing TTRPG’s online

[kaz-oooo]

ahhhh I wanna write and play a TMA themed TTRPG campaign soooo bad! But I think my issue is I’m a better writer than I am a GM.

Like I just wanted to figure out the basic concepts of a possible campaign to pitch to my friends — when does it take place, where is it set, what exactly are the players trying to achieve, etc — but instead I got this whole alternate timeline where Gertrude was given a bunch of new assistants (the players) and now she’s got to begrudgingly work with these people to keep the archives safe and stop the other fears from destroying the world (because at that point she doesn’t know that all rituals are destined to fail unless it is a mass ritual) and also I have this whole idea about a possible grand finale… but I haven’t even pitched this idea yet, let alone met the player characters!! Ahhh!!

Honestly, I like the idea a lot, but I’ve already got this specific idea for how things will turn out which is how you write a fic, not how you GM. So maybe I’ll just scrap the campaign idea and turn it into a fic instead.
