Our new book "Get It At Sutlers" proves that everything is fun as long as an ambiguous threat of violence hangs over absolutely everything. #rpgtheory

As Troika afficionados it behooves you to check out the new book by Daniel Sell coming in a couple of months. Get It At Sutlers is an enormous retail adventure generator for inclusion in sandbox campaigns within the city of Troika. Get a job! Meet the locals! Don't die! Get it at Sutlers!

After 9 sessions, the Big Squirm is complete. 1 PC was eaten by a Pretender Worm. 1 died in a poison gas trap. 1 was killed by deadly silver threads welded by an even deadlier assassin. Everyone else got rich but also got turned into a pig. Here’s our investigation board. @melsonia.bsky.social

Hey, stop reading about how horrible everything is. Go play with this name generator for Troika Citizens instead. It's got, like, a billion names and jobs and stuff. Chill out for a bit. perchance.org/4tpvv57r56#e...

It expels this methane through the hole in the cap, which bubbles continuously to the surface, leading many to believe a water nymph lives there.

If you were on the Troika patreon, rather than here exposing yourself to the yawning abyss, you'd be reading the world's longest rpg price list right now

It's Sunday, which means CAMPAIGN PREP DAY. What horrors are you planning for this week's game? I'm gonna make people deal with a boggart

Got @melsonia.bsky.social's Longshot City (beautiful box set!), and this web of baddies mechanic has really pumped me up in prepping for our 1st session this afternoon!

So wanna make it in movies (or rpg publishing), huh, kid? Well you better go find yourself an existing book made by someone who's got loads of followers for you to glom on to but doesn't want to deal with the nightmare that is kickstarter or posting books

Are you a TTRPG creative? Do you miss the thrilling interactions that came with bar/retail work? Well why not try running a Kickstarter! It's never too late

Since rewatching Columbo, every time I watch a giallo I can't help thinking he'd have solved this much quicker and without all the psycho-sexual fuss

What I want is hard process, raw output, dirty bits of cast off ideas. Piles of stuff!

Most days checking on social media is like walking in on that scene in Midsommar where they're all crying on the floor, except they also want you to buy HUEL and learn how they gained 100,000 followers in one month

If a financially successful creative career was a sponge cake, being good at the creative bit would be the pinch of salt. I often forget to salt my cakes and no one notices

Ignore the fact that we have a troika patreon, but the idea of sharing every half-baked bit of game development publicly is weird. If what someone shares makes sense and appears in the finished version, it's just advertising. Marketing is such terrible dark magic!
