#RPGaDay2023 Day 31: To choose my favourite #ttrpg, I need to think in terms of the only one I'd keep if I ever had to, and that would be #Hillfolk. Its system, #DramaSystem, allows me to imagine any kind of setting on the fly, and to help generate that side of the #rpg hobby I absolutely love above anything else: emotions, in the characters, in order to be felt by the players afterwards. I love drama & I love #DramaSystem. @robindlaws @pelgranepress #jdr #RPGaDay #FirstEdition #FirstEditionRPG

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 27: I'd love a new edition of #Hillfolk, maybe with a clearer name: #DramaSystem. I'm sure there's been a lot of retex in the last 10 years, plus storygames are more popular now & many drama oriented #ttrpgs could provide some inspiration. Some rules could be improved, other ones heavily revised, I'd love to see plug-in tools to add it to any #ttrpg.
I love how fantastic Hillfolk already is. I'd love it to be even better! @robindlaws @pelgranepress #RPGaDAY #rpg #jdr

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 22: My best 2nd-hand #ttrpg purchase was #Hillfolk & #BloodontheSnow, a couple of hours before sitting at my very 1st Hillfolk game, run by @robindlaws himself. He signed my books, and I absolutely fell in love with his #rpg. So much so that #DramaSystem is now one of the rules set I used the most. Then a few years later I got to purchase the token bag & the card deck, 2nd-hand too. Sweet memories! #jdr @pelgranepress #RPGaDAY

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 17: I've ran and played many games and many game sessions that were fun, as in smart, thrilling, hilarious, but right off the top of my head, I'd say the funniest game I have in mind is a very recent one I run: #TheGoodPlace with #DramaSystem. The Drama scenes were so witty and clever, wild and crazy, and I had to put my microphone on mute so many times as I was laughing so loudly! What a game! #ttrpg #rpg #jdr #Hillfolk @pelgranepress @robindlaws @foundryvtt #RPGaDAY

66. #Playtest (#Incognito) Back to this mystery game and a proper session zero in which we discussed setting, theme and what the PCs want from each other, and can't have. So a little bit of #DramaSystem creeping in there.

I've just discovered that @pelgranepress, publisher of my two favourite systems, namely #DramaSystem and #Gumshoe, is preparing a new #One-2-One game called #FirstEdition. This new #ttrpg will mix both systems, so try to figure out how excited I am now! Pelgrane Press, you were already the best, and now you've managed to become even bester! @robindlaws #Hillfolk #GumshoeOne2One #rpg #jdr

@craigmaloney I enjoyed reading the #Dramasystem books, especially the huge range of high-concept alternative settings - from Mad Scientists Anonymous (PCs in a support group for recovering mad scientists) through Moscow Station (cold war espionage) and Paged (literary characters escape pages of British Library books and become flatmates in North London) to The Throne (angels scheme and war for control of a Heaven abandoned by God). I think many of them would make fine #FiascoRPG playbooks too!

I've finally managed to start GMing a game of #DramaSystem using #TheGoodPlace as a setting. Tonight we created the characters and we've already had such a blast! Besides, it's always a joy and honour to welcome newcomers to the #ttrpg hobby, people who got there with some DnD expectations about #rpg and who end up excited by a completely different approach. @robindlaws @pelgranepress @foundryvtt #Hillfolk

Ken and Robin talk collaborative worldbuilding, more 90s SF cinema, exporting DramaSystem, and the magical assassination plot against Edward II.

Alas not a Drama System sourcebook for the Muppet Show.

And now don’t you want a drama system sourcebook for the Muppet Show?

@PlaneSailingGames @pelgranepress @AllenVarney The way I see things, from a France-based perspective, #Hillfolk was released when story games started to gain traction but were still quite impopular. Nowadays, it's easier to find players with similar tastes and the glut with story games and narration-oriented RPGs make it easier to run #DramaSystem.
So perhaps just give it another go by dropping the procedural scenes altogether and by just sticking to the dramatic ones. That will be easier.

#Hillfolk / #DramaSystem has had a HUGE impact on me as a player, as a GM but also on that tiny "storyteller" side of my job as an English teacher.
One of my favourite roleplaying games ever hands down. #ttrpg #rpg #jdr @pelgranepress @AllenVarney https://bundleofholding.com/presents/2023Hillfolk

Just in time to run the fight to control a media empire, crash survivors concealing their dark secret, or a barbarian hill raiders working out their family issues, Hillfolk returns for a limited time to the Bundle of Holding.

Tonight's session of Gastro Maestro, our cooking show for #DramaSystem got an apocalyptic tilt and a friendly resolution to conclude this #SeriesPitch. In a way, we got to play a game of #Fiasco with different rules. And we had so much fun! @pelgranepress @robindlaws #Hillfolk #ttrpg #rpg

An enjoyable session of Human After High, a homebrewed #SeriesPitch for #DramaSystem. I'm looking forward to seeing how all the relationships, desires and expectations created today will play out in the game in two weeks. #ttrpg #rpg #Hillfolk @robindlaws @pelgranepress

Another session of the (homemade) #SeriesPitch Gastro Maestro for #DramaSystem. The cast's ambitions lead to dangerous promises, the crushes are getting more and more one-sided, and cheating confessions are turning this game into a fantastic game of #Fiasco.
Last session in two weeks, and I'm absolutely ready for this kitchen apocalypse!

I added more free community copies of Malandros, the #ttrpg of swindlers, street fighters, love, hate and community in the last days of imperial Brazil — https://porcupinepublishing.itch.io/malandros

Looks like there's a #ttrpg #shelfie trend going on here on #mastodon. So, let's jump on the bandwagon.
Here, We've got some #NightsBlackAgents #Hillfolk / #DramaSystem #TheEsoterrorists #Mutant CityBlues #TrailofCthulhu and #TheFallofDeltaGreen .1/6

Welcome to Gastro Maestro a competitive culinary reality show powered by #DramaSystem. And the relationships are already scalding hot between a competitor, a cameraman, a judge, a makeupartist and the show's presenter. Next session in two weeks and I'm so looking forward to it. #ttrpg #rpg #Hillfolk @pelgranepress @robindlaws #MyOwnSeriesPitchoftheMonth

Lots of little ideas for upcoming games of #DramaSystem. #Hillfolk #SeriesPitch #FoundryVTT #ttrpg #rpg @robindlaws @pelgranepress
