Today I want to talk about Touchstones in TTRPGs and their importance to shared play experiences. My games: andrewbeauman.... My podcast, One Shot's Tavern: oneshotstavern...
Oh I love Ender's Game. Those novels blew my mind as a kid. And good call on touchstones. I've been writing one shots lately, but I think they would make sense to include even there too.
World of Darkness, actually all of the Onyx Path splats, have touchstones at the outset of their book. It's what got me into reading Tanith Lee's "Night's Master," to better understand Exalted. I love that about their games.
