  • I’ve got 4 groups.

    Groups 1 and 2 are small groups made of friends and we handle everything over text. We do tend to have a lot of “hey, are we playing today?” texts on the day of.

    Group 3 started as a work game and has a larger group with less consistency of who shows up week to week. We use discord. Creating events, hosting lore, and places to stash special/homebrew rules is nice.

    Group 4 is a west marches-ish game with about 10 players. Discord for that also, though once a group is set for a couple sessions we switch from the discord channel to a group message for communication.

    I’ve used Teams in the past as well but I find discord to be better for managing the various things I need to organize a game.


  • It’s my go to system for a quick one shot to introduce people to ttrpgs. Always fun, crazy, and simple to learn. And minimal work for the DM so long as you’re willing to bounce off whatever your players come up with.

    I’ve run some one shots for more experienced players that have been really memorable and full of creative play, too. The simple mechanics don’t hold it back. It excels when you’re willing to “yes, and” pretty much everything.
