So I had some idle thoughts about Paranoia again lately, which kind of fits into the global zeitgeist.
I mean the roleplaying game of course, although who's to say really?
The game has gone through a few editions over time, and I feel it has risen to thematic relevance again in a way I didn't think possible ten years ago. 1/?
One realization I've just had is that when a scene is described in just a handful of words, players can imagine so much more to it than is initially revealed about it. Objects that the GM didn't think of, but are plausible to be there, can just suddenly exist at any moment and help make the story richer.
In contrast as soon as you introduce any kind of map, it feels like you are "collapsing" the scene to one very strictly defined state that feels difficult to escape from. Instead of imagining what COULD be there you only look at the very narrow slice of what IS in front of your eyes.
Other than just being too lazy to make maps every session, I genuinely wonder if they might be just inherently an obstacle to the imaginary nature of the game.

Hey everyone! 🎲✨
I’m super excited to share that they hit their goal for the TTRPGs for Accessible Gaming Charity Bundle! Because of your amazing support, DOTS RPG Project can now team up with Die Hard Dice to create awesome braille dice for the visually impaired and blind community.
This is such a big win for making tabletop gaming more inclusive, and I couldn’t be happier. I’m really looking forward to snagging a set of these dice myself! I'm not in anyway involved other than a supporter but you have no idea how long I've been waiting for this.
This is just my personal huge thanks to everyone who chipped in and helped spread the word. You all rock! 🌟🙌

#AccessibleGaming #blind #BrailleDice #DOTSRPG #DieHardDice #TTRPG #ThankYou
To my last boost. Please boost this for wide spread. This is an opportunity for #braille dice sets to enter the realm of #mainstream and mass manufacturing. I haven't been able to read of full set of #dice as a #TTRPG player in 20 years since I went #blind. It would be beautiful for something like this to be added to life and make me feel like I'm right up there with everyone else. Thank you!
Just going to add the link directly here as well.

What tweaks have you made to the standard monsters to make them even more terrifying?

Right now, I am musing how a traditional "treasure chest" full of gold and silver coins and gems and jewelry and whatnot would actually be worth in modern currency (Euros, by preference).
To be precise, what it would be worth _before_ paying for legal fees and/or bribes, black market markup, and all the other things that could get PCs into trouble. 😁
Hi everyone, I'm Paul Czege. I make roleplaying and storytelling games. Sometimes I make board games to play with my ten-year-old son. If you know any of my games it's probably My Life with Master. Though someone shared one of my checklist NPCs to Reddit a few weeks ago:
