Merry Christmas, y’all! Barnaby here wanting to wish you a fantastic end of the year and the best foot forward into the next from everyone here at Tabletop Tea Party! We’re gearing up several projects as we speak, with more merch over at Amazon sure to drop in the next few months. Also remember to check under Adventuring Journals for more Ass of Ages chapter uploads. Due to real-world constraints, that’s the only TTRPG campaign Read more…
(Spoilers for Paizo’s Carrion Crown adventure path, The Outsiders, and The Heart of Snow) By this point I’ve played five major PCs (Player Characters) in our Pathfinder campaigns, and I’ve run/am running two of them, A Very Muppet Gigantomachy and The Ass of Ages. Steve and I’ve also played some non-Pathfinder stuff (Fiasco, Fate, etc.), so I’ve been regularly playing something since 2016. I feel very comfortable when it comes to the roleplay element of Read more…
(MAJOR (if vague) spoilers for The Ass of Ages incoming) In most roleplaying games, the success of a character’s actions is decided by dice rolls. That roll is almost always done with a twenty-sided die. In Pathfinder, the system we use, all actions/skills are separated into categories. Wanna jump onto a moving horse? Acrobatics check. Bluff your ass off to get another mug of ale? Roll for Deception. The GM (Game Master) decides how high Read more…
Two more Tabletop Tea Party journals are now live on Amazon! The first one up, for all our cat fans out there, is Feline Fine! Next up, you can’t be the GOAT if you don’t own one of these: Remember that you can still go ahead and grab a monkey, gnome, or (because Christmas in July) an elf! Collect ’em all!
He should’ve stayed fat. THE PREMISE I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in the Real World, Too (yes, that is a complete sentence and the title) is an anime centered around Yūya Tenjo, a goodhearted fat boy who life loves to shit on. He finds a magical door in his dead grandfather’s house that leads him to a fantasy, monster-filled world, and comes back super powerful and hoooooooooot!!!! Before I Read more…
“Can’t be as bad as Dots.” Whenever I start a new project, or I’m struggling in the middle of one, I focus on the above six words. That usually gives me the push I need to keep moving forward. But to explain what Dots is, we need to go back a whole decade, to the year of 2013. We’re jumping into 2013-Barnaby, a high school senior going to school in a town in the middle Read more…
Three people. Poldaran, Steve, and me. It was just us at an early showing of The Machine. A theater employee came to check in on the screening and see if anybody had shown up, and I don’t think he noticed us because the lights came on a little ways through the movie. Not enough to be distracting, but it did set the tone for the next near two hours. It felt like the world was Read more…
Hey there! Easter’s come and gone, and now that the rush to get Easter Egg Delivery Service out on time is over (you can get it here for next year!) I want to talk about the hows of it all. How the concept came together. How we decided to self-publish a children’s picture book. And how the process of putting it all together went. Here’s a sneak peek of the answer to that third one: Read more…
Hey! Happy holidays! A lot changes in a year! Draconic Barnaby has now been rebranded as Tabletop Tea Party. And we now have merch! Presenting, now, our first (but not last) TTP-Original journal: Stupid Elves Makes Stupid Sounds! Containing 120-pages, it’ll help you keep track of the holidays while also putting a smile on your face. It’s not much, but it’s the first of many good things to come, we hope. Order your own Stupid Read more…
MAJOR spoilers for future The Ass of Ages Adventure Journals incoming Context: Throughout the Serpent’s Skull Pathfinder Campaign, your party is supposed to be occasionally threatened and taunted by a creature called the Flying Shadow that will eventually be revealed as a winged Chupacabra. It’ll fly overhead, scoping the party out as a threat. Eventually (as written) it will drop a goat’s head at the party as a taunt before then flying away to its Read more…
