5 TTRPG Mechanics That Just Work A Squirrel Plays 2025-06-05 | We’re gonna have a look at some TTRPG mechanics that I thought were either really helpful or really interesting. These are DEFINITELY not my “top picks” by any means, but just the ones I chose for this video. There’s definitely more to choose from, such as the wound system in Tales From Elsewhere, or the Point Pools in Ironbound, both of which I wanted to talk about (and completely forgot to but that’s neither here nor there). Hope you enjoy! If you’re designing your own system, maybe you’ll get some ideas. Or if you’re just a player, maybe you’ll have a fun suggestion or two for your GM. === Discord === Don't forget to join the squirrel community!

Making an EZD6 Playset - Week 1 A Squirrel Plays 2025-05-08 | Post Stream Notes: It's looking good! This was our first "real sit down and figure out what direction we're going" with this concept, and I already like where it's headed. The main goal is to test and see how well we work together, but if we can also get an awesome playset out of it at the same time, then that's just all the better. Looking forward to the next stream, but as we mentioned while we were live, I'm getting my novel back from the editor in just a few more days, and I have to hunker down and go over all of their notes and setup a call with them before the contract closes, so I'll be super focused on that next week. Still, I've already got notes and ideas for the next stream/steps, so I think we'll be in good shape! Look forward to seeing you all then!

Homebrew Horror - A Monster That Keeps You Alive A Squirrel Plays 2025-04-24 | I decided to sit down and make myself a monster. Oddly enough I got the idea while testing out some game mechanics in a solo run. Shows how much I pay attention to the current task at hand. Anyway! Hope you enjoy it and get some use out of it. It’s a fun, spooky beast I thought that can really shake things up in your world.

Review - Hellborn Descended (its pretty dang good!) A Squirrel Plays 2025-04-10 | Another TTRPG review! Been doing a lot of these lately. Looking forward to getting back to my “regular” stuff (which I still have no idea what is in all honesty). Anyway! This one had a lot of fun mechanics and played really, really, well. It’s super solid in my opinion. The only thing I’m not crazy about is the setting, but at the end of the day, that really isn’t much of a factor, as you’ll see in the video! Grab your snacks, it’s a long one.
