I ran an initial session of #RootRPG last night. Just character creation and a few opening moves in the Gelilah's Gulch scenario from the book itself. Which, to be honest, I don't love, but it does a fair job of complexifying perceptions about the dominant factions, and lets me get the hang of the moves and special rules before I have to start improvising characters and scenarios.
You can see #RootRPG straining here and there against Powered by the Apocalypse's neat division between player moves and GM moves. A trigger like "When you meet someone important for the first time…" might be a player choice occasionally, but presenting an important NPC is more likely to be a result of the GM's initiative. But the move triggers a roll, and #PbtA rolls are supposed to be player-facing, so Meet Someone Important ends up being a player move.
I foresee missing that trigger a lot.
Back from #GenCon ! My first convention experience ever. It was a blast! Played #TrailOfCthulu , #RootRPG , #AvatarLegendsRPG , and had maybe the most fun I can remember in a #TTRPG with #NightsBlackAgents

@SymbolicCity I love the #pbta system. I run #rootrpg #motw and I own but haven't run yet #tsl , #avatarrpg #apocolypsekeys and others.
I really like the rules light system and how the system makes me and my players flex our yes and muscles.

I have to many missing players today so had to cancel my morning session. My evening session is also on hiatus for a month. I guess I'll use today to do some game prep and work. I need to get #Rootrpg #MOTW back into my schedule and my new intro to ttrpg improv added to my schedule.

#RPGaDay2023 Day 3: First #RPG bought (this year).
If we stick to actual RPGs rather than supplements for RPGs I already own then it would be #RootRPG bought at #7HillsRPGConvention after playing in a game there. I’d not been interested in #PbtA games previously but I really enjoyed Root. I’ve not been able to get it to the gaming table myself but I’m hoping to at some point.

Bundle of Holding has a great collection for the #RootRPG. https://bundleofholding.com/presents/RootRPG
Well-worth checking out, particularly for anyone who likes cute RPGs and/or Powered by the Apocalypse variations.
Fascinating as an example of a board game jumping to an RPG, too.
oh yeah and i got this year's #RootRPG quickstart but it's already in the Root RPG satchel and i'm not deleting all that to take a new photo, you can use your imaginations
Played a couple games at #FreeRPGDay at the #FLGS today. First up was #RootRPG, which continues to be a mostly good game. Second game was #DragonBane, which I DO NOT recommend for two reasons:
1: One of the pregen characters in the handout had a personality descriptor of "Bigoted. Nightkin such as orcs and goblins are evil and need to be fought." - Yikes.

My birthday loot is all pretty sweet (and self bought). Now I just need to find some time to read it all...

A couple of games of #LiminalRPG today at #7HillsRPG. One I ran myself this morning as a replacement (Ghosts of Glencoe) that ran short but the players seemed to enjoy it and one run by @SavageSpiel. This latter one was a great investigation with really interesting PCs. Great fun 👍
Picked up the #RootRPG after yesterday's game and won the #BlueRose Quickstart in the raffle. Looking forward to giving them a read/run out.

Giving this Gauntlet character keeper a try tonight for #RootRPG: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1H7WHuh3wSqeJxEOr5MdrQWEji4Ss4-py
(Re-listening to @orklord’s love of character keepers on old +1 Forward episodes has me excited.)
Any of you folks try soloing this with oracles similar to Ironsworn or Mythic GM Emulator? #RootRPG
Trying a new trick for my new campaign of #RootRPG. I’ve copied the NPC name list from the reference guide into the NPC index section of my campaign journal.
When I need a name during the game, I’ll be able to pick it and immediately have a place to note who they are.

And now that we are at it #7ttrpgs :
- #Numenera (very flexible, very easy to play)
- #CypherSystem (same system as Numenera, applicable to any setting)
- #CallOfCthulhu (easy for new players to understand as the characters are normal people)
- #RootRPG (really easy to set up, prepare one shots or a campaign and very fun)
- #d20 (open source and my first DMed campaign was a #fatestaynight homebrewed one)
- #L5R (like it a lot,but very unwieldy sometimes)
- #Magetheascension (just incredible)

Eichhörnchen beißt Fuchs? In dem von einem Brettspiel inspirierten #RootRPG spielt man wenig possierliche Vagabunden in Tiergestalt, die sich im Wald durchschlagen und den tobenden Konflikt um den Ortschaften auf den Lichtungen mit ihren „Heldentaten“ beeinflussen können. Dave #Thaumavore stellt das Spiel von #MagpieGames vor (🇬🇧): https://youtu.be/NGiiaiRIOWI
Einen Quickstarter der nichts kostet, findet man bei Magpie Games. Die Regeln basieren auf #PbtA. Werde ich ausprobieren.
