#RPGaDAY2023 Day 3 catchup: First game bought (this year) - "Liminal" by @TheTweedmeister. On the very-back-burner for years I'd had ideas for a game of British police team investigating the occult/magical (after Paul Cornell's "London Falling" and Ben Aaronovitch's "Rivers of London") likely using the #Esoterrorists system (#Gumshoe game by @robindlaws) - and beautiful #LiminalRPG looks tempting for material. (Guess the licensed #RiversOfLondon RPG should get a look too now it's published!)

Over at @pelgranepress, @mytholder details the differences between clues, hints, and leads, and shows how they stitch #Gumshoe scenes together: https://pelgranepress.com/2023/03/08/a-taxonomy-of-investigations/ #ttrpg #AshenStars #Esoterrorists #FearItself #MutantCityBlues #NightsBlackAgents #SwordsoftheSerpentine #TrailOfCthulhu #YellowKingRPG

Looks like Elmo pulled some wires again over on the bird site so here's a short shoutout to trebormills for running #Esoterrorists (I got in on the last minute because several people had dropped out).
It started with a grisly multiple murder of students of witchcraft and weird shit in the USA. During the main investigation phase we found our target location: a stone circle in West Wales where the final showdown with heavy weapons (a flamethrower and RPG, gotto love big Preparedness spends).

Last 5 #ttrpgs I ran:

1. Trail of Cthulhu #cthulhu
2. Old School Essentials #ose
3. Lady Blackbird
4. Dungeons & Dragons (5th Edition) #dnd
5. Ashen Stars #gumshoe

5 ttrpgs I'd like to run?

1. Medieval horror - either #wfrp or #Ravenloft
2. Pulp adventure - #fate, #SavageWorlds or #ActhungCthulhu
3. Sword and Sorcery - #dnd, #pathfinder?
4. Thieves and conmen in a steampunk city - #bladesinthedark
5. A horror game inspired by urban legends and 1980s horror - #esoterrorists? #KidsOnBikes?
