#ttrpg shenanigans

All the rewatches of A Court of Fey & Flowers in the world could not have prepared me for how fun the epistolary phase in Good Society is when you actually get to play it in real time

The letters that my players have sent so far have ranged from one-word, catty little notes to absolutely exquisite ones that read as if they've been plucked right out of an Austen novel, and it's divine

(Shoutout to @thunderandsage for the line "Here, we may delight in the shadows a multitude of dimensions cast," because it's gonna stick in my brain forever)

For Christmas I got a Steam card and picked out a couple games for myself. Decided to bite the bullet and get Divinity Original Sin 2 (if only to fill that "solo TTRPG" itch).

Some wonky issues with controls aside, I have... well...

I accidentally killed someone in the game. I meant to pickpocket him. He was a captor on the ship so I felt that with him sleeping I could pickpocket him.

But for reasons I'm not entirely sure on now, I dragged an oil barrel down the stairs.

After failing to pickpocket him I carefully was moving the barrel closer. I was trying to put it near the door but I accidentally and I do mean accidentally put it right on top of him.

It exploded. He caught on fire. He died instantly.

... so I left the witness in his cell because he gave off sketchy vibes and if this was a full TTRPG he would've totally blabbed to someone.

On another note the character race-class system is insane because this is the first time I've ever seen actual player options for undead skeletons. Non-human ones I mean.

me: hey man can a part of my light cantrip be that when someone punches my guy, he starts emitting light like a glowstick as he doubles over because his blood is like... dnd glowstick juice.

This is definitely for the superheroes-aspiring-to-godhood campaign.

"yeah my Str and Dex were just my 4s and 5s roll, but I got a Large Straight for Intelligence so I understand the universe on a quantum level"

I may have just come up with the worst stat generation method for WotC D&D and other games with a similar range of attributes

You roll 5d6 for each ability score. Your ability score is the number of points that roll would score in Yahtzee

I think players could be given a limited number of Yahtzee style rerolls to use during the entire process

Me whilst creating NPCs for my campy horror Regency campaign: You know what, a staple of this genre that should be celebrated is the old woman who’s super rich and does whatever she wants (The Dowager), so I’ll make one of these

Me, fifty business days later, holding out a folder that is filled to the brim with sassy old ladies to my friends: I hath contracted the MILF obsession

Players: this item is either very magical...... or *very* cursed.

DM: all a curse is is spicy magic pick it up you coward.

Update:

"Well if these lives would save the entire galaxy, wouldn't you sacrifice them, too?"-Cult

"No, I'd FIGHT GOD."-Antonia, seconds before literally Fighting An Eldritch Horror Godlike Being With Anger And A Chainsaw Sword.

Oh man, the ANGST of this session was high after that fight.

Antonia learned what the Corporate Asshole had been doing, and ended up taking her confession to the Very Right party member to turn her far away from the corporations when he revealed his Tragic Backstory of being a clone made simply to be used for organ harvesting.

She's got like, two lines. Child abuse and Slavery. It's one thing to donate your organs for pay, it's another to never have a choice.

So she and that party member bonded, amusingly enough, on a mission to find a child murderer, and he's promised to keep her secret as she works on cutting ties from the corporation.

This can only end badly.

Lancer session ended in the middle of combat because a player had to leave and I am absolutely FROTHING AT THE MOUTH because REVELATIONS ARE INCOMING. One of the hostages they were fighting to save is a corporate asshole who works with my Antonia's Hounds of War merc company and I am RABID for the drama of this revelation because Antonia hasn't LIED about what she is or what she does, but she also hasn't told them which group hires her the most, and it's their sworn enemy, lmao.

Naturally, as soon as Antonia recognized that guy, she got him free from his bindings ASAP, even used up my inspo to save his fuckin' ass because I needed him alive for this juicy drama.
