I played What We Possess for the first time a couple weeks ago. It's a no-prep GM-less story game/RPG where the players play ghosts haunting a location, collectively pushing the living towards helping you accomplish a goal or solve a mystery. Just about everything--the location, the living people and animals plus the things present, the minimal details about your ghost, the goal or mystery, and the clues uncovered--are all randomly pulled from card decks.

It requires a lot of improvisation and trust that a story will emerge. The game provides set pieces and expects you to work out what the story is, collectively. It says: Here's a bunch of stuff to play with, now start moving things around, fill in the details and go work out how your ghosts accomplish their goal. Or maybe they won't, running out of energy and fading into the void before they can move on, that's an option too.

(I've tried several times to write how the game is played, but it's gone over a toot's character limit each time.)

It was everyone's first time playing it and it definitely felt shaky for the first couple of scenes. Once we picked up some momentum, a story did start forming, we arranged the various pieces into a plot and were able to wrap it up in a couple of hours. Fun, but we had to sit with a lot of uncertainty during play.

The photo is my attempt to recreate our setup at the end of the game, since I didn't think to take a photo at the time.

A layout of cards describing various story elements. Some show people and things, like Priest, Van, Spirit Board. Four cards describe how a ghost died and what power they get because of that. Three cards show vague clues: a Photograph, Markings, a Book; each with questions to prompt thinking about how they fit into the story. Plastic cubes in several colors sit on various cards, representing ghost energy expended or fear rising in the location.

It feels like there has to be something for #TTRPGs as a medium beyond copying theater, TV, film, radioplays, etc.

Imitation is self-destruction. What does this medium do that others cannot?
Strip away the idea of storytelling being the goal and really consider it. I wanna see it.

Let's take this from the top, one last time.

I'm Diotima (obv not my real name) and I'm:

- A tiefling (horns and a tail, yes)
- Kind of obsessed with #BaldursGate3
- Writer of stuffs, SFW and NSFW.

I'm silly & weird. But my soul is also full of broken glass and rusted metal. Consider that like, fair warning.

Likes: #BG3, #ttrpgs, #adventure, #spicy things, and #travel.

Dislikes: Reply guys, fashies, and other icky things.

So there. That's it. That's the #introduction.

¡Hola, gente de Mastodon! Por fin decidí hacer mi #presentación. Soy una civil común y corriente de Puerto Rico que anda siempre en busqueda constante de aprender temas #sociales, #políticos, de #literatura y de #escritura en general. Soy fan de #startrek, de todo lo que sea ficción literario y terror, soy una sucker por los #ttrpgs, los gatitos, los gótico y lo dramático.

Les dejo una foto de mi niño (mi gato) como final de la presentación 🫰

Un gato de pelo largo y rojizo acostado debajo de una mesita.

I have a USD$2,425 D&DiaC company credit voucher that I am hoping to sell (this has been approved by the company). If you have plans to attend in 2025 and have not yet purchased your tickets, please consider purchasing this from me to use towards them.

I've been trying to sell this for some time now and am having another crack at it because even if I could get the money to afford attending the event, the US and UK are not safe travel destinations for a non-binary person.

We were originally meant to go in 2020 and a series of events have meant that I both can't and SHOULDN'T go, which… this was going to be my absolute dream holiday and I won't bang on about it, but I have gone through a lot of emotions about the whole thing.

Anyways, check out www.dndinacastle.com and see what they're about. #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPGs #DnDInACastle

Few things are as disappointing as seeing a popular #DnD YouTuber publicly endorse the use of AI.

No sir, it's not "inevitable , so might as well use it". AI might have a handful of legitimate uses, but supplanting human creativity is not one of them. It sure as hell does not belong in #TTRPGs.
