Mat 🇨🇦 Role Play Chat

When do you and don’t you like using random tables in your ttrpg game?

Yeah it being free is a huge plus. I’m a little intimidated by it to be honest hah but maybe I just gotta get over that and make the plunge.

Appreciate your thoughts! Despite the learning curve, I take it that it offers more features and options? I feel like many have recommended affinity. Is that the case?

Hey TTRPG designers,

What’s your layout software of choice?

Hi new followers!
I'm Chris Hopper, an accessibility consultant, graphic designer, game designer, and all around freelancer. You can find my most recent work in Draw Steel and the Cosmere RPG, along with many indie pubs. I'm passionate about lowering barriers for every game. linktr.ee/chrishopper

I always enjoy Levi's perspectives and resources on game design, and this is no exception.

It's been a hot minute since our #TTRPG game went on hiatus, and we resume playing tomorrow, so I sent out the RP warmup question a day early:

What book genre would your character read most or gravitate towards? Is there an IRL book you know they would particularly enjoy?

What's your answer?

We have all sorts of #ttrpg radness on sale over on @drivethrurpg.com right now, folks!

Super pumped for the next season of Role Play Chat! I’m in talks with some fun folk in the space. It’s been a while since I recorded podcast episodes, and I forgot how much fun it was :)

How much involvement does your GM give you in the creation of NPCs at the gaming table?

I certainly try 😅 ask me about my passion project romhack!

I might make a last minute decision to attend breakout con.

Who else is gunna be there?

I might need to start adding conventions to my circuit too… that’s something I haven’t been doing consistently!

That sounds AWESOME!!!

Do you get your ttrpg table to playtest your indie games too or is that just me?

(Thank you)

Been delightfully busy on the editing side of things since November, but if anyone has any TTRPG projects on the horizon they need editing for hit me up!

Yeah they do! I upgraded though because the S1 controller couldnt turn the system on remotely, but the S2 cntrollers are ever so slightly smaller and my hands just cant grip it the same! (I know it’s a silly gripe but it bothers me nonetheless).

Is it just me or is the switch2 pro controller subpar to the switch pro controller?

I’m back

Felt nice to step away for socials for a while.

Hope folks are staying safe out there.

Taking the month of Feb off socials!
Love yall, be safe and see you in March.

Any other Canadians over on Gander? Trying to build up my feed there too!

February's gonna be busy! Colostle approaches the end of, an interview with Ian of @undercommontaste.bsky.social, Valentine's Call of Cthulhu, character creation for my upcoming Gardens of Rust, and a Twitch stream! AND I'll be running a stream on the DMs After Dark on the 28th!

Sheesh, gaming!

I'm so glad we can all agree Affinity tables suck to use.

I took the time to record a quick tutorial on my (free) Patreon that teaches you the right tricks so you NEVER have to use them ever again for your TTRPG rolling tables and other layout needs.

All of my jobs except for one were ultimately "cashier" and one time as a bookstore manager

5 jobs I’ve had:

1. Tennis instructor
2. Video store clerk
3. Substitute teacher
4. Homeless shelter case manager
5. Training manager

This is good advice
