Hot take of the day for we #ttrpg #writers:
Punk is Authentic WHILE Camp is Sincere. But both are honest and devoid of cynicism.

Agree or Disagree?

Hey! I'm Lex, the game designer behind the #CaltropCore SRD (with ~250 games built on it!), a free open license system for making your own #TTRPG.

I recently quit my day job to do this full time. I have some savings, but I need your help.

Simply follow me here & RT! (Patreon too if you are able!)

I have three types of TTRPG characters.

- There is a System and I will Destroy it.
- There is a System and I will Abuse it.
- Don't stop, never give up, hold your head high and reach for the top.

One labeled GM, the rest are labels player 1 through 4 respectively. In the top right corner, in all caps, in military font; the word power is wacced out with the word Punk.

I feel combat is inherently tactical. Whether the game indulges in this, up to the devs. To me combat is the most exciting version of resource management. Health, actions per turn, ammo/fuel(if any) + any resource the game has. Each Turn resources change while you work to reach an acceptable end.

We Want to play social powerhouse characters that actually feel like social Powerhouses! And no amount of Roleplaying is going to fill that hole! So we made social mechanics. www.stockandbull.com/articles/san...

Been busy shaping our #ttrpg. We've believed that
#socialcombat needed to be a thing in ttrpgs, not just RPing. What if socially awkward me wanted to play a social powerhouse? Could that work and how can a game sell the social equivalent of a skilled fighter?
