that's like when I was browsing the library looking for French fairy tales, folklore and mythology for my #ttrpg game. Endless books on Greek, Roman & Norse mythology, next to nothing on central European

Philostratus keeps on giving:

A huge part of the book is about Palamedes, the Greek hero who got himself completely written out of the Iliad.
For dissing Odysseus too much.

No wonder Odysseus was pissed, there are some great one-liners in there :D

Oh, and the guy invented writing, numbers, and dice. In case you needed a #pagan patron of #DnD players.

oh shit oh no people are following me already i should probably write an #introduction

Hi! I am a girl-shaped creature from #scotland. #trans, neurospicy, always tired. I'm not a fan of social media but people keep telling me I should give fedi a go.

Planetary data scientist by training, but right now I pay the bills with #webdev. One of those weirdos who actually likes #css. I use #ArchLinux btw.

I play #netrunner, #fabtcg, #pokémon, #ffxiv and all kinds of #ttrpg. Feel free to reach out!


My #DnD group is doing an all-villains party adventure, just for the heck of it. I never really play villains, it's not really my jam and I suck at it.
So now we have a party of necromancers, assassins, warlocks, mob hitmen... and Karen, my "Thoughts and Prayers" Cleric 🤷‍♀️ 😆

Child, playing with the color coded dice: "PINK! PINK!"

Me: "That's not how dice work, honey. You can't just tell them what you want to roll."

Child: *rolls (actually rolls) pink 3 times in a row, gives me a shit-eating grin* "PINK!"

Me: "Welp, playing D&D with you will be fun..."

😆

I just watched #Wonka, and now I really want to make him a slightly unhinged chaotic Scion character. The hat and cane are clearly relics.

🎶 Tis the season for parents to multiclass into Santa Clause 🎅🤶🌲

"So if I eat all the veggies, and put away the puzzle pieces I spilled, and wash my hands, and go to bed nicely, THEN can I please cast Mage Hand to reach into the TV and pet that dog?"

"For the last time, I am your mother, not your warlock patron."

Today's #ToddlerDnD moment:

"I cast Featherfall."
"You are not a spellcaster."
"FEATHERFALL!"
"That's not..."
"See? Works every time."
"That's because we keep catching you."

Today's #ToddlerDnD moment:

"I search the room for loot."
"There is no loot."
"I search again."
"No need. You succeeded your roll. There is no loot in this room."
"I yell NOW."
"Yelling NOW won't make loot appear out of thin air."
"Are you sure? I'm gonna try anyway."

Having a toddler is like having That Dude join your #DnD party.

"The innkeeper hands you a cup of his finest wine."
"What color is the cup?"
"Blue."
"I RAGE."

"The Wizard is casting Sleep. You immediately fall asleep."
"No I don't."
"You have the lowest HP in the party."
"I'M IMMUNE, B***ES!"

"It's a Gelatinous Cube."
"I lick it."
"It's very dangerous!"
"I'm already licking it."

A bunch of cool things are dropping tomorrow:

Folk Tales of the Cosmos by storyteller Janet Dowling

A Kickstarter campaign for a tarot-based #ttrpg from the creators of the Sefirot deck

#GenV (The Boys spinoff)

There's probably more but I'm excited for these

I just found out that more than 6000 people have downloaded my PhD dissertation on forum-based role-playing games, and my mind is blown 🤯
(I never thought to check)

And more than 17,000 for my master's thesis on #ttrpg in the high school classroom 🤯

I read a lot of theses and dissertations when I research. It's good to see others are getting use out of what I wrote. And I'm glad it's freely available. It should be.

There is a "Greek myth" going around in esoteric circles about Dionysus and Amethyst, but it's actually a 17th century fakelore invention. Probably based on this belief.

Fun fact, the Hungarian version of D&D had gemstone-based magic, and lucky characters got to use amethyst to purify alcoholic drinks 😄

Late to the party, but a mythology-themed series of books I really enjoy is the #Scion #ttrpg line.

This setting takes place in a variant of the modern world - but the faiths of old have never gone away completely. And while the Gods have some excellent reasons to be discreet when acting in the world, the activities of the supernatural are still common enough if you know where to find them.

The default assumption is that the player characters are young descendants of the gods - the titular Scions - who gradually become aware of their heritage, and then try to fulfill their destiny.

I am currently running a Scion campaign that is heavily inspired by German folklore, and it's a lot of fun!
The cover page of "Scion Book One: Origin", showing a red-haired woman in front of bookshelves. She holds a pair of glasses in her right hand, and a book with a red cover in her left. Swirls of smoke rise up from the book.
The cover of "Scion Book Two: Hero". A muscular, red-headed man stands in front of high-rise buildings. He carries an oversized revolver in his right hand, and two ravens fly around him. Lightning is visible in the sky.
The cover image of "Scion Book Three: Demogod". A Black Woman wearing a purple jacket his holding a top hat with a skull symbol in her right hand, and a wand with a skull with red eyes in her left hand. In the background, spirits of the dead fly around pillars.
The planned cover of "Scion Book Four: God". A man in the tress of an Aztec jaguar warrior is wielding an obsidian-tipped mace in his right hand and a shield in his left hand. His chest has been carved open, and his heart is surrounded by flames. A red skull is floating next to him. An Aztec pyramid is visible in the background.
