Essen Spiel 2024: My Indie TTRPG Picks & Convention Recap!

[@VanillaJoe]

Love the new presentation, man! You picked up a lot of cool looking stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@BarlowKeep]

Thanks man! I really hope i'll get to visit a more TTRPG oriented con sometime next year and actually be able to do some filming there :)

[@juauke]

Cool stuff! Looking forward to your next content!

[@BarlowKeep]

Thank you!

Really enjoyed this recap ─ and the new sitting pose! Definitely excited to hear more of your thoughts on Cthulhu Eternal: I really like that some of its recentmost modules have also come with all the rules needed in the back of the book. All-in-one capsules like that are excellent bridges from narrative heavy boardgames to TRPGs I think

[@BarlowKeep]

Thanks! Glad you like it :) On the note of Cthulhu Eternal, i haven't tried the modules ...since i started running it we are in our homebrew campaign, but i will certainly talk about it at one point! I'll go over the rules and the system. For the last session i modified the rules a bit to fit what we want from the game, where I collapsed multiple skills down into one and created a new character sheet. That is also something that I want to cover.

@@BarlowKeep certainly keen to see that! I much prefer a slimmer skill list if there isn't a truly open ended one

if getting to Britain is easy enough, UK Games Expo in June is quite good for trpgs these days!

Geographically, I am a couple of hours away by plane....Politically I am "3 months of visa waiting with high chance of not getting it the first time" away 😅 But i am making some plans with Rich from RenegadeRolls to try and meet at the UK Games Expo next year...so fingers crossed :)
