    Summary

    In the grand tapestry of the multiverse, Katarina Claes, the venerable villainess, had long since carved an indelible name for herself in the hallowed halls of Societer. Her life, a grand opus of cunning and indulgence, had not only granted her the singular honor of a resplendent harem but also the bittersweet blessing of mortality. Yet even as the sands of time slipped through the hourglass of her existence, fate, with its capricious whims, had deemed her story not yet complete.

    Reborn as Monkey Girl Chiaru once again in a world unmarred by the specter of danger, the erstwhile villainess found herself once more graced by the presence of her erstwhile paramours, their souls intertwined across the ether of eternity. And in this new life, unshackled from the yoke of peril, Chiaru and her coterie of comrades discovered anew the true essence of existence - the joyous pursuit of camaraderie and competition in the realm of gaming.

    I have two versions of this story, this is the newer one but I kinda broke up the original one because of RL issues.

    Summary

    What if the unlucky adventurer was just a meek high schooler?
    What if the useless goddess was a lonely otaku?
    What if the explosion loli was a sensitive chuunibyou?
    What if the masochistic crusader was a closeted transfer student?
    What if all their nonsensical adventures, were just the machinations of a depressed GM desperately trying to wrangle a story out of these peculiar individuals' bountiful shenanigans?
    Kazuma, Akari, Megami, Luke, and Yuzaki are all members of the Tabletop Roleplaying club. At the table, they're the motley crew of abnormal adventurers we all know and love. In real life, they're a gaggle of awkward teens trying their best to be good citizens.
    This is the story of both.

    TLDR: Basically Konosuba, but everything is a tabletop roleplaying campaign.

    Summary

    Warp is, after all, incredibly dull, when you spend more than a thousand years there--not that you'd understand it has already been a thousand years, as the very concept of time is alien to the warp.
    And when you're bored out of your senses, you try to find some...amusement.

    Is it heretical to play games with the fallen primarchs? It should be.
    But Kaldor Draigo cannot become a heretic, so it is not.

    Summary



    You're never gonna be alone
    From this moment on
    If you ever feel like letting go
    I won't let you fall
    When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on
    We’re gonna take the world on
    I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone

    Peter doesn't fight the smile that creps it way to his lips.

    They died.

    Every single one of them died.

    He is so freaking happy.

    Summary

    An account of a real TTRPG group's experiences of Tablestuck, and the stories spun therein.
    Following will be an overview of three earlier sessions, then sessions four and five, which is the most prolific of the bunch, and the one the tags reflect. One through three are roughly connected to a canon in this universe. Four through five (which is currently ongoing) are connected to each other, and are by far the most prolific. Tablestuck four and five have been going on for a little over a year, and I am the sole writer of the campaign, including the terminal prompts, NPC dialogue, and overall story.
    I consider four and five to be where a larger story begins to play out, and as such, a lot of this piece is going to be focused on that.

    *The tags are reflected in Tablestuck four and five. If you can skip the preamble to get to all that; chapter four should be where the Tablestuck four narrative starts.

    Summary

    "C'mon, dude, you should loosen up a little bit," The Star says to him with his usual smirk. "I can help you, if you want.~"
    Somehow, the guy manages to sound flirty every time, Klein thinks. But soon, unaware of his tone, Miss Justice joins him too in his efforts of hyping their Game Master up.
    "Yes, you have to do it! Gehrman is your avatar!"
    Klein tries his best to keep and impassive face under the two pair of glowing green eyes as he throws the dice into the tray. It rolls until it stops with the number 20 facing up. There's a second of silence before the whole table breaks into cheering and laughter. This time, Klein can’t help the smile that creeps from his lips.

    Klein has never have many friends, spending most of his time focused on working to help his family and using the free time he had to consume any type of fantasy or mystery story he could get his hands on. Until one day, a bright young girl asks if he could help her play a multiplayer game she has found and is interested in. For some reason, Klein accepts her request and his life is forever changed.

    (or: the tarot club ttrpg au that nobody asked for.)

    Their task? To find and retrieve the six Lights of a long lost world.
