Let’s celebrate May Day, the International Workers’ Day, by continuing the never ending task of promoting and expanding our workers’ rights against the capitalists and rich exploiting our labor. Solidarity is how we do the work and get there.

Humans have value outside of production and money.

Ran a #Session0 for the new #wod #CofD #queer #ttrpg group we’ve gathered. We discussed safety, our premise, and themes. I think it went pretty great. We’re going to do a prequel of teenage mortals at summer camp, for group cohesion, as people are thinking of playing different supernatural templates, with #changelingthelost as the majority. Then jump to the present day. Hoping as GM I can plant a lot of plot seeds and foreshadowing with this premise!

So how was your weekend?

I spent time with the kiddos. Younger middle got sick. Cleaned the whole house, finally mopping our floors that badly needed it. My partner Mer cooked an amazing dinner for the new Sunday game night (more about that next).

#treehouse coming along! About a 1/4 of the deck done.

So we’re almost finished w/ Phase 1: a) concrete footings; b) posts; c) 12’x16’ deck

Then Phase 2: a) ladders; b) railings; c) the 8’x12’ main room; d) 6’x8’ sleeping loft

Phase 3 is a “crow’s nest” around the pine tree; Phase 4 a platform in the deciduous tree; both reached by rope bridges.

At the rate we’ve been working at (I’m trying to let the kids do most of the work and weather permitting), I predict we’ll be done by next summer.

I’ve also been pushing forward with trying to create a 2nd group. We might have finally gotten some traction with forming a #trans rpg group, and I can’t even begin to say how excited I am about it. Looks like I’m running (surprise! not surprised), and I’ve already set up a discord server. The energy and vibe is so different. We are doing a #Session0 this Sunday, and talking about playing #WoD with a mix of vampires, changelings, and mages.

It’s much easier for me to get a quick creative fix with GMing something.

While my kids’ Tales of Xadia #cortex game has halted in exchange for being outside in the beautiful spring weather working on the treehouse, my #V5 #vampire game is finally getting some momentum. We had a blast last Tuesday, with me hamming it up as a Brujah human rights activist and some great rp with the PCs as they try to establish an Elysium in their domain.

I haven’t been posting a lot, but I’m lurking. Just wanted to say Happy Thursday to everyone with some #ttrpgs updates 💜

My “Palace of the Labrys” has taken a big pause and pushed on to a back burner. I love being a stay-at-home parent, but to achieve any kind of sustained creative flow is so difficult.

So many cool mobile frame builds out there, esp the 2013 kickstarting hey day. Can’t wait for the 2nd edition (TBD).

Lego lends itself to slick iPhonr builds especially when doing SNOT (Studs Not On Top) micro scale builds. Stellar if that’s what you want.

But where all the steampunk-junkyard aesthetics, all greebled out to hell??? That’s what my GenX 90s post-apocalyptic goth-punk heart wants.

You know, as if Tank Girl married Mad Max and they built a frame?

For this mobile frame, I started w/ basic CHUB build, went from there.

The head - some unintentional inspiration based on my childhood toy the transformer Jetfire? Didn’t see it until done but now can not see it. Possibly intrigued by the idea of a transforming mobile frame now.

Got carried away by greebling on the legs - chasing the ideas of gears and pistons. Not sure I’m happy yet.

I repeated the feet I love from the Rascal scout - maybe same manufacturer/military force?

With this mobile frame, I was inspired by the Rascal build.

I am imagining a scout, something fast and light w/ lots movement, minimum defensive shielding, lots of comms for spotting. Never playing I am uncertain as to the wisdom of those systems.

But I am happy with the build. I really took a liking to the feet. Super steady but they look agile.

#MobileFrameZero #MF0 #MFZ

I have worked from what I had on hand, mostly focused on structure. Once I have builds I like, I can place an order around color schemes.

Next: the builds so far

After several weeks of scheduling conflicts & sickness, my #V5 #VtM #VampireTheMasquerade #WoD game #ttrpg set in Portland, OR finally got it’s 2nd session.

The 1st sesh was back in Feb: a prequel 5 yrs earlier, recently embraced, establishing mentors, the city’s politics, & main themes.

This sesh was an In Media Res wight hunt cleaning out the PCs’ domain. A fun night making the PCs sweat, and for us to learn some of the new edition’s mechanics (3 veterans of older editions & 1 newb).

I’ve been doing this long enough, the story is interactive with #changelingthelost #werewolftheforsaken and #vampiretherequiem all in Portland.

Each chronicle influences the other and I’ve actually ran the others. 1 player has gone through the 3. While he is interested in doing the Mage chronicle and see where the whole metaplot leads him, we both agree it’ll be hard to find the right group.

For me, it’s a urban fantasy game of hubris, identity, and (sur)reality.

It largely uses #MageTheAwakening 2e’s system but with influences from #magetheascension #UnknownArmies and #dresdenfiles

The setting is also an unholy mash up of all the above, taking place in Portland.

Who else gets gendered correctly more often when out with their partner?

She’s femme leaning but definitely has futch dyke energy. It makes me giddy to be seen as a lesbian couple.
