#TalesFromTheLoop is a horribly underrated series on #Primevideo. Based on a series of #scifi paintings by Swede Simon #Stålenhag, and powered by music by #PhilipGlass, the series is beautifully filmed, meditative and more evocative than #TheElectricState (also based on Simon’s work). Each episode is a mini sculpture of humans and storytelling.

Though I admit it requires the right mindset to fully enjoy.

Started running a campaign of Tales from the Loop with players experienced with other rules, but new to this.

And I am becoming convinced that the best rule in TftL is, "the land of the Loop is dangerous, but Kids will not die."

Upon reading that, all my players INSTANTLY KNEW what kind of tone the game is trying to achieve. And we had a wonderful, whimsical first session.

Best Board Games of 2024!

The last Best Of post! We play a lot of board games. Stems from our crippling Kickstarter habit. Step into my tabletop world...

Simon Stålenhag's art has this feeling of melancholy and foreboding that's perfect for a "how the email finds me" meme.

Hat hier jemand #talesfromtheloop Startabenteuer "Der recyclete Junge" gespielt? Auf den ersten Blick scheint mir die Lage der Orte der Szenen schwierig zu erreichen... So für Kinder in den 80ern... Gefühlt 20km auseinander und größere Gewässer dazwischen.... Habt ihr das einfach näher gelegt/ignoriert oder als Herausforderung genutzt? #FreeLeague #Rollenspiel #spielleitung

I started watching #TalesFromTheLoop yesterday. It's a really good show, wonderful stories.

Just finished watching Tales From the Loop. Can't believe I didn't know there was a show. But it came out in 2020, so I guess now I understand why...

Just curious-- anyone know of third party or homebrewed character classes for #talesfromtheloop? The core ones are good, but I'd be interested to see if others have new ideas. The Exchange Student, for instance? The Thespian? Class Clown? #ttrpg #freeleague

Game Night: In Too Deep, Terraforming Mars, what comes next?

Catching up on game night posts. We played with the super duper "all in" Terraforming Mars gear and finished up In Too Deep. What's next for Game Night?

Any Tales from the Loop players out there? Can we talk about Luck points? I think they're overpowered, or at the very least offer too much protection from pushing a roll ... which is the best mechanic of the game in terms of narrative, IMO. Instead of allowing a total re-roll, what other benefit could result from spending a luck point? Heal a condition maybe? #ttrpg #talesfromtheloop #homebrew #freeleague
