Played two RPG’s this week and they both sucked. That is the first time that I’ve felt like a game I played in was a foul tip rather than a solid triple in a looooong time and it was two, right in a row.
That is the bad news.
The good news is we have a good idea of what went wrong and one of those game was a playtest and playtests are sometimes painful.
I’ll write up thoughts on both games later. It feels really important to talk about games that go into the shitter, likely even moreso than constantly flashing the horns and screaming, “Awesome!” at the top of my lungs.
I have to wake up tomorrow morning and deal with Zorro’s wake-up rituals and then go to the Saturday shift at work.
Ugh.
Tired.

These games are acts of creation. This creation, like birth, involves pain, is messy and bloody and sticky and involves otherwise ugly bodily fluids.
I have faith. And friends.

So… what went wrong?
What could be done better?
are you still friends with everyone over it?
No, it wasn’t that bad.
It just wasn’t the good that we are used to, lately. And it was tense.
But playtests, in particular, roll that way sometimes.
More on details later.
What are you talking about? There’s never any uncomfortable interpersonal tension brought up by playtests that makes you feel weird for a while. Ever.

Hey Rob, want to help me playtest my new game I’m working on? It’s called Making Out While Pooping.
