@caranorth11 thanks for brightening up the comments section of my nerdy D&D YouTube show, and making me laugh sista.

eLearning developers! Do you create branched path scenarios? What’s your favorite tool right now? I’ve been using Twine forever, has something better come along?

@AfroSTEM Ninja's like birds.

@caranorth11 I also judge you if you have read receipts for your emails.

I judge you if you reply all.

@NickTillem @caranorth11 I call that the "reply-to-allvalanche."

@caranorth11 The worst is when it’s a global email and they reply all to say “please take me off this email”, not realizing the irony that they too are part of the problem.

@NotJonMollison EGG: “Do as I do, not as I say.”

"Gary only got it right accidentally. He really meant for you to play the game in a manner other than that which he described."

Oh did you want a heavy metal anthem for Dwarves? I got you: youtu.be/34CZjsEI1yU

I’m done tweeting D&D stuff on this account. Most of my audience are professional connections here. My other account has already followed my hobby friends from this one if you are seeking to find me.

@DieinPlace Look at that beautiful…hey lady! Get out of the way! Beautiful truck.

We used to love our cars and designed whole entertainment properties around them. They were a symbol of independence, freedom, self determination, strength and innovation. Oftentimes, like the Fall Guy's Truck or General Lee, they were basically characters in the show. Now...not so much, which is not surprising, as nothing has personality or meaning in the postmodern west. I guess that is the point of post modernism.

@Bdubs1776 I’ve heard the prequels are more enjoyable on mute. That without all the wooden dialog you see the visual brilliance

Wow cgi!

Know what’s scarier than when Han, Chewie and Leia discovered they were inside an Exogorth? When it happens to YOU and five others hanging off a Flash Gordon rocket bike! #BROSR

@LL_929 Shoo! Go away!!!

There are downsides to taking a captured Hawkman rocket cycle deep into the tunnels under the Bandit Mountains of #Machodor ( @jonrock's character's reaction pictured? ) #Trollopulous #BrOSR #DND

@LL_929 @JohnsonJeffro @cirsova @Crossface02 @BrianRenninger6 Indeed, and it’s peopled by a species of tree dwelling elves, the keeblerites.

@cirsova @JohnsonJeffro @Crossface02 @BrianRenninger6 I think that's a pocket dimension between the elemental plane of fire and the quasi plane of dough

#OSR mindset: How many Hit Dice does the Cookie Monster have? #brosr mindset: How many cookies are generated by the Cookie Monster's domain to sustain him?

@BuildYourOwnRPG @GearFox42 @AlchemicRaker How do your players get good at such a game? Reading your mind? Guessing which rules they can depend on and which ones you’ll jettison? You may be gaming, but they aren’t.

Fudging rules is cheating too. #DnD

@Oghma_EM @BrianRenninger6 @cirsova @Crossface02 Picture the entire Milky Way. Burning blue, afuzz with flame, and a massive beyond reason pair of googly eyes rotating above in incomprehensible horror.

@BrianRenninger6 @cirsova @Crossface02 That’s why Kangsta needs to come back. He must stop the Cookie Monster threat!

@cirsova Me LOO-ooove that Downtime! Homnomumnumnumnum!

@AlchemicRaker If you haven’t tried it, it doesn’t even fit in your head. The moment you do, all the puzzlers become obvious.

@jonrock The experiences aren't even comparable. Most modern players have only known railroad play, and that's what they think #DnD is. And the rest think it's CR.

Roleplaying, in the context of #ttrpg's, is the experience of being immersed in the decision space of your character. The purpose of rules is to shape this decision space. Altering, adding, and removing rules, removes you from the designer's intended roleplaying experience.

@AlchemicRaker It’s hard to grasp without playing. How many modules have in-the-moment storylines that you can’t complete in 4 hours and totally fall apart if everyone leaves a quarter of the way through. It’s a paradigmatic shift.

1:1 time is largely or entirely incompatible with narrative and story campaigns. Period. In those, the DM maintains such control over the world, even time, to ensure events unfold in a desired, crafted, and curated manner.

Jeffro is a visionary who tried to do what nobody was doing lately (for whatever reason) and kept the receipts. He took ALL the heat and still does. I’m grateful and I’ll say his name.

@ViktorGorchev @John_Cyrano @JohnsonJeffro @ViktorGorchev himself never played ViktOSR RAW! - Dildo Swaggins

@John_Cyrano @JohnsonJeffro I'll have to write a book on it.

Your average ViktOSR campaign vs your average BROSR campaign. @JohnsonJeffro
