Hey folks, see below for a quick poll about a potential Game Jam! We're very excited about hosting one here in the Lab, but we want to make sure there's enough interest to get a few games circulating around. Since this space is all about learning from one another, we'll probably have lots of times and spaces leading up to the games where GMs can ask one another for advice, swap ideas, and test concepts for their game. For those with no experience in game design, this can be a great shot to try something (simple or complex) and get some feedback from experienced Game Masters! There'd be discussions, time to test out the games, and prizes! Check out the poll to gauge interest here; if it's a little low, we'll revisit the idea once the lab has grown some more.

Tonight at 8:30 PM EST, we'll be answering questions, discussing TTRPGs, and just hanging out! We'll see you there!

Hey everyone, in observance of elections in the US (and the media coverage that some of us like to sit and watch on the big day), we will be canceling our weekly call tonight - see you next week to talk about your games! (Sorry for the late notice, I forgot to mention it last week!)

Hey everyone, due to changing schedules (and Tristan running like four games a week), we are discontinuing our Wednesday night Prep Night... ...and we will instead be holding an Open Q&A on Tuesday evenings (EST). The last one we did was a lot of fun - people game out, workshopped their goals, posed questions to the group, etc. So the calendar for next week will reflect that. Hope to see you there - come hang and talk about your games and plan new ones!

I have the first proper session of a new campaign tomorrow, and I will be prepping the world and some encounters at prep night tonight. Three of the players have gotten some pretty clear goals around their high-level characters (we are starting at the high end of the power curve). Simplified, they are: - Identify disguised devils in positions of leadership - Learn ways to combat the infiltrating devils (true names, anti devil magic) - Make powerful allies to take the fight to the Pit - Form alliances between human Astral Sea explorers and gith space pirates I will be making some factions that unite a few of those goals using the buildings blocks I already have, and probably some locations and NPCs, too. If this interests you, or if you are working on something similar, then you should come by! 8pm EST tonight.
