The crew continues to fight the waves of nightmares washing over the Echo in session six of #IndieOctober, where we play a different indie TTRPG for each of our 16 games this month.

Tonight, we're playing @evilhat's Don't Rest Your Head!

#GoPlay #Brisbane, a FREE tabletop RPG #ttrpg convention, on Sept 7th & 8th, has opened player registrations https://www.goplaybrisbane.com.au/register-to-play/

There are heaps of free #rpg roleplaying games on offer, including: #dnd, #dcc, #marvelmultiverse, #dontrestyourhead, #knight, #paranoia, #bladerunner, #eclipsephase, and heaps more.

I've been heartily enjoying running two groups simultaneously in Don't Rest Your Head. They're both in the Mad City at the same time, but have yet to encounter each other (which might not happen given the difference in the two groups' schedules). Because the setting is in a realm of nightmares, I can get away with substantially changing things in the city on a regular basis. Here are some simple #maps I've created over the years for my version of the city. #ttrpg #DontRestYourHead #horror

#7TTRPGs that did the most to shape my tastes/expectations

1. #Scion1e, my first as a player
2. #NWoD
3. #GeniusTheTransgression
4. #DontRestYourHead, my first as a GM
5. #DawnOfWorlds, the first GM-less worldbuilding game I've played, which I still want to hack into something less high-fantasy-centric/RNG-based
6. #TheSprawl, my favorite cyberpunk TTRPG and PbtA game
7. #OnceMoreIntoTheVoid, the first Firebrands game I've played (and the first to use playing cards as a resolution mechanic)

Okay. #7TTRPGs that influenced me!

#AmberDiceless - VERY formative for me in learning to GM
#Deadlands - opened up more genres for me
#InSpectres - how I discovered the joy of players defining things
#DontRestYourHead - got me more into collaborative scenario creation
#Fiasco - my introduction to GMless games
#LadyBlackbird - opened up more effective ideas for prompt-based improv for me
#PbtA (in general) - got me thinking in terms of the story driving the rolls instead of vice/versa

Something I enjoy doing for my streamed tabletop games is to put together one-page promos for them. (Mainly using Gimp and royalty-free images.) Here are the ones I assembled for the games I've got going on at the moment (and for anyone who might be interested, they can be found at https://www.twitch.tv/otherdoc ). #ttrpg #twitch #kult #dune #dryh #dontrestyourhead #horror #scifi

Welp, had another one of those things happen where I wanted to send over a little bit of lore for someone entering my campaign of Don't Rest Your Head, started composing a message, then looked up and realized it was way past my bed time, I had enough material for multiple pages and I'd been writing for two hours straight. Mayhap I overdid it a little. 😬🤷

J'ai réalisé hier que même si j'avais jamais avancé loin dans ma campagne #Dontrestyourhead j'étais très fier des intros que j'avais fait à mes joueureuses. Elles étaient vraiment angoissante, articulées à leur BG, et mettaient bien en scène l'irruption du fantastique.
Je vais les raconter sommairement parce que c'était plutôt bien.
