The groups I’ve played with have gone into the campaign understanding that the premise requires the dissonance in genres. Some of the best story beats actually came from us figuring out how to connect the plots of two very different recursions (story dimensions).

One of the most fun TTRPG campaigns I played in was The Strange by @montecookgames.com. I like the "any setting/genre/story is possible" theme, especially because it allowed our group with diverse interests to each get to explore the types of adventures they enjoy.

✨D&D/TTRPG Question of the Day✨ What’s your favorite kind of setting to play in or run? Do you like to use a setting that is not typical to the system that you like to run/play in? I love it when settings get creative and feel like they’re a little different to what might typically be played.

The words “Question of the Day” are placed in a serif font on a black background, written in white. There are stylized white butterflies and stars sprinkled across the black background. A TTRPG question of the day from Alex, @alexsgamingcorner!

I just started a TTRPG newsletter. I’ll be writing designer diaries and announcements for my games, what inspires my design and play styles, and reviews of indie/small press games. Mostly, it’s something to connect with and support my fellow players and designers. monarcwriter.substack.com

I'm rewatching all of the Alien films in preparation for seeing Romulus and this feels like a good reason to remind everyone that I wrote a solo journaling RPG very heavily inspired by it and you should play it. loottheroom.itch.io/wretched#ttrpg
