My year in gaming (with two more sessions to go if everything goes according to plan):
18x #Numenera (5x GM, 13x player, all online)
11x #DnD5E (GM, 5x at the table, 6x online)
10x #MonsterOfTheWeek (GM, online)
3x #DURF (GM, online)
1x #CairnRPG (GM, online)
Plus a couple of play-by-forum games:
3x #CheatYourOwnAdventure
1x #TheWarren
1x #GreenwoodOutlaws
Going to be GMing round 2 of #TheWarren tonight woop.
It makes for a great game to fit in between main d&d sessions.
28, scariest #ttrpg I have played?
As strange as it may sound, #TheWarren from @bullypulpit_hq and @mease19 is the scariest game I have run/played. During our initial session I polled the table for details about their warren, my youngest daughter offered up a sickly fox with a wasting disease that was voraciously hungry who constantly stalked the edges of the their Warren. She named it Creeper.
There will be balloon animal modelling, circus workshops and more fun and games at this year’s annual Fitzrovia Street Party and Community Dinner at The Warren, Whitfield Place, on Saturday 2 September.
Organised by Fitzrovia Youth in Action and is a free event.
Whitfield Street will be closed between Warren Street and Grafton Way for the event. Traffic diversions will be in place
12, the oldest game that I still play?
I don't really play old games anymore. I took a long hiatus from #RPGs after being steeped in them in middle & high school years. I picked up #Hackmaster Basic just to read at the 2009 or 2010 #GenCon where it came out.
Later I read #DungeonWorld & #Inspectres, & started running #TheWarren for my kids.
The closest I come to old games are new editions of them like #DnD5e or #CyberpunkRed or games inspired by them like #Cairn.
Going to running #TheWarren for the first time today. The group normally plays d&d5e so this will be a little different for us.
Smartest #ttrpg I have played?
I have played a bunch of smart #RPGs, but three of my favorites are:
@mease19's #TheWarren distilled #PBtA down to just what was needed to tell the very specific terrifying story of wild rabbits trying to survive in the wild.
@Epidiah's #Dread is unbeaten in telling a tense story. Using a Jenga tower as the tension/resolution mechanic is genius.
@jmstar's #GhostCourt is a comedy game that actually works as a comedy & is funny. It's brilliant.
“All the world will be your enemy, Prince of a Thousand Enemies. And when they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you; digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning. Be cunning, and full of tricks, and your people will never be destroyed.”
Richard Adams, Watership Down
I was going to do 5e for a one-shot, but actually now I'm thinking I'll try The Warren.
Anyone have any tips coming from 5e?

@ChaskaTheMagicDog I don't know about scaring them necessarily, but #Vaesen has definitely given my players creepy vibes.
While it wouldn't seem that way, #TheWarren by @mease19 (the game about playing rabbits), has really scared my players while playing. The characters are so vulnerable to the world that survival is difficult and terror is around each corner.
I have gotten obsessed with running an rpg where the PCs are frogs. Does anyone know if The Warren works for animals other than rabbits? #ttrpgs #TheWarren #pbta
@HyperLifeTTRPG A campaign of #TheWarren that was a mash-up of #watershipdown and #cthulhumythos where the Black Rabbit is actually an avatar of Nyarlathotep
...aaand Day 7 of #Sketches of #Hull -
1 - people mill about at an early #HumberStreetSesh (I think).
2 - a #NHS rally outside #TheWarren nr #QueensGardens - both do great work.
3 - A very famous local shop on "#PrinnyAve", ran by a well known local's mother. There's a pun in that shop name that might give a clue.
4 - "#Truelove" - A #sculpture by Stefan Gec, positioned on the waterfront of the #RiverHull, close to the #TidalBarrier. The history of which is worth looking up.

Trying a new game this week for game day! I'm an escaped pet rabbit new to a warren in the hills above industrial-era Pittsburgh.
