Merelymatt - Merely Matt

2024 is the year we stop “consuming” and go back to “reading/watching/listening to/playing” things

The latest Monster of the Week mystery on Merely Roleplayers just finished! HUGE consequences for a couple of our cast this time out. But you have to expect that when you chase your prey all the way under the hill to Fairyland...

Please take your seats for the finale of Vigil: Fear Itself

Smoke. Shadow. No one walks through that and returns unchanged. Same goes for getting what you’ve always wanted.

Introductions are due, I suppose

Hiya, I'm Mod Azzy, She/Her, the main (and Basically, only) mod of this little place, I just wanted to make a quiiiiick post trying to get some guidelines, goals, and other such things out of the way

What is the goal of this blog? While the joking answer is "to get them kids away from 5e", and while that iiiiis partially the goal, the primary goal is just to give more attention to quality, independent works, to encourage people to create their own stuff, and to support small creators. Though that last bit might uh, take a while! we're very very small as of the time of writing this, but here's hoping! What are your guidelines for posting a TTRPG? That's... difficult to say, my main qualifiers are: - Cannot be from a large corporation (for the purposes of this, projects made by small creators but published by slightly larger groups, such as Evil Hat or even Dark Horse now I believe? do not count) THIS DOES INCLUDE PAIZO, PAIZO IS NOT A SMALL COMPANY - Cannot have any hateful content (duh) - Must be either complete, or in active development (nothing sucks more than being recommended a cool game only to discover it's been abandoned years ago by the developers) - Must be under $25, a large issue with getting away from 5e is the sunk cost fallacy and pricing, so by choosing cheaper games I wish to dispel this excuse. Games that have robust quick starts or free versions but are above the price tags are fair game too

reblogs appreciated!

Have you played WRECK THIS DECK ?

By Becky Annison

Wreck This Deck is a dark urban fantasy game of solo journaling, demon summoning and deck crafting. Summon and bind demons into your Demon Deck, defacing the cards as you go.

(Poll Runner Note : God I want to try this game, but I can't bring myself to buy a new deck. Plus I am really bad at art and crafts)

Keep getting lost in my current music fixation (everything everything) and I’m like “why don’t more people listen to EE?” and then I come back down to earth and remember most people don’t enjoy listening to a shrill British man sing-rapping absolute fucking nonsense into their ears at Mach speed accompanied by the sounds of a Dell laptop falling down a flight of stairs. BUT I DO !!!!
