Great thread on the #ttrpg mastodons: rollenspiel.social/@HeyeBodo/11... What do RPGs mean to you?

Chalk writing on a sidewalk reading: 'Stop imagining the Apocalypse. Start imagining the Revolution.'

Pretty much an opinion I have against GM screens that block me from the other players. #ttrpg #dndisnotforme (talk by Alicia Fortier at GDC)

Have a fresh mental image for "D&D ain't that bad, you can do anything you want with it..." #ttrpg #dndisnotforme

A side-view photo of a Tesla Cybertruck parked in a lot, featuring a large, DIY-style custom camper shell or cap mounted on the truck bed. The camper addition is made of reflective silver panels and extends higher than the truck's roofline, maintaining the vehicle's angular, geometric aesthetic. A metal roof rack is mounted on top of the camper, and the background shows a line of autumn trees with red and brown leaves.

Rock and roll road trips full of danger and unpredictability. https://silo.tips/download/pe-na-estrada-um-jogo-sobre-viagens-rocknroll-e-a-imprevisibilidade-da-estrada is where I still found "Pé Na Estrada" by Rafael Rocha online 🤘 #rpgenesis #12gamesofrpgenesis #ttrpg

Become an agent hunted by eldritch forces and the all-seeing algorithm that controls 1990s dystopia. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EFem800X5v88Odfc1KqhZrSXA4BhhqQde16C9vyOIRs/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0 👈 CthulhuTrix is a lovecraftian salvagepunk #ttrpg by Marcos Silva #rpgenesis #12gamesofrpgenesis

Early on, we already had games exploring alternatives to dice like coins, cards or even no randomness. #rpgenesis is a great opportunity to try something that seems impossible at first.

To celebrate the new year, I'm going to post 12 Games of #RPGenesis, a broad selection of participations found across many years of online history. These highlights should give you some idea of what's possible in this #ttrpg design event (spoiler: anything is possible). I'll start on the 25th.

Ricardo Tavares from 🌍 dreamup.games@dreamup· Dec 18

Want to know a little bit about the history of this event? Check this forum post on itch.io/t/3034840/br... 👈 A brief story of #RPGenesis (with pictures!) #ttrpg #worldbuilding #writing #indiegames #gamedesign

What's your favourite #ttrpg that leverages NOT having a backstory beyond what it can already provide for your character? Besides Dogs in the Vineyard. Or In a Wicked Age. Or Psi Run.

A "Bell Curve" meme displaying a standard normal distribution graph with IQ scores on the x-axis.
• On the far left (Low IQ): A crudely drawn, simple-looking character (Brainlet) says, "I don't have a backstory."
• In the middle (Average IQ): A stressed, crying man with glasses (Midwit) says, "My backstory is 12 pages."
• On the far right (High IQ): A calm, hooded figure (resembling a Jedi or Monk) says, "I don't have a backstory."
