As for time, I pride myself on putting in as much time as there is for play, as well as being very solid on my feet when it comes to prep.
Plus, if they're interested in one of my existing fleshed-out settings, I could nearly run that for them in my sleep, given their mountains of existing detail.
Yeah, I've been pondering how I'll go about it based on how other GMs do and been looking around for someone to base my initial model on.
I'm thinking a minimum of 4-5 responses a day (as prompted by the player[s]), I have pretty easy ways to handle combat in a more theater-of-mind manner 1/2
Thinking of starting up some play-by-post #TTRPG games after a player complimented my writing skills recently.
Honestly never really considered it before. Anyone have any recommendations/tips for this kind of game? #PbP #DnD
itβs becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them
Fresh off the Presses: Some #TTRPG & #DnD / #D&D Advice for you:
Got a player that Likes Crafting and want to keep the party from sitting still for 2d10 days while they make their super awesome Armor/Weapons/etc.? Give them a small mobile Crafting Station they can deploy on a Long Rest!
Just finished a Session, and had someone reach out to me for a oneshot to ring in the new year.
Slowly but surely, getting busier bit by bit!

There are few better feelings as a GM than a Player, days after a session, asking for an aside to pose a Lore question and them opening it up with "Have I lost it? Or is this right?" and they proceed to be entirely correct about the theory.
I love my Lore Hound Players!
#TTRPG #D&D #DnD
I have a new game coming up soon, and my players are chomping at the bit to get it started to the point that Iβm scheduling backstory 1 on 1s ahead of game just to let them have that before they get to the full sessions #TTRPG #D&D #DnD
They promised to lower grocery prices but instead want to start war with Canada.
Happy Holidays Everyone! #HappyHolidays
May you find warmth and joy with those you care for!
#TTRPG #D&D Today I Set up and released an early set of "Critmas" Presents to all of my Players.
GMs! What, if anything, do you do for the holiday season?
Players! Share anything your GMs did to make you feel special this season!
That sounds awesome! If you don't mind my asking, what's the inciting incident?
something I think would make for a cool storyline to run and play through.
If it's one of my own settings though, it tends to be a story that comes from the "internal systems" I build into each world that allows them to generate content based on my player's choices, actions, etc.
Sandboxes are fun!
I'd say whenever I'm putting together a #TTRPG or #DnD / #D&D Campaign of any kind, the first thing I do is find a core concept, be it an idea, point of view, or something else I want to explore through the campaign. It can be relevant to the world, a wider philosophical view, or even just 1/ π§΅
In an era where 3rd spaces seem to be dead or dying across the world, the games i run can serve a similar purpose to them socially.
That weekly game for some is their main socialization avenue and I'm happy to be able to provide the activity they use to relax from a long week of work or their life.
#TTRPGtip An easy way to encourage players to roleplay and describe their actions as a GM for any system, especially newer players who may not know how to do so, is to open the door for them by taking their existing ideas, descriptions, etc. and adding to it a bit, then rewarding them for it too!
So, had to push back my session last night due to one player getting held at work late, and even though it was supposed to end at 2am-ish, the players powered through till ~3, and showered me with praise for an additional hour.
Simultaneously exhausted and very happy. #TTRPG #D&D #DnD #ProDM
The poster for the Upcoming game Elden Ring Nightreign, consists of a predominantly blue background with purple and orange/red accents and a warrior posed holding a large-two-handed sword by it's handle behind them and off to their side while standing over a winged felled enemy. It depicts the title of the game, various studios involved in production, the release year of 2025, and www.Nightreign.com, which is the game's official promotional site.
Absolute Cinema. I'm sold. So anyways, I'm going to disappear for a bit once this game drops, so don't be alarmed if I vanish for a week. #EldenRingNightreign
#TTRPGThursday Tip:
Players! Roleplay doesn't stop in combat! Describe how you perform an attack, cast a spell, etc. with some detail! You don't have to Stop Roleplay just because you're rolling the dice, and Roleplay isn't just about speaking as your character
honestly pretty funny media organizations reported luigi mangiones manfiesto as βchilling text from a disturbed mindβ and then it was leaked and the manifesto essentially said βi think the healthcare industry is parasiticβ
It's bad enough that major media outlets refused to publish the manifesto (though they were happy to quote from it selectively); but they also won't even articulate a reason why. Shouldn't they at least have to explain the decision?
I may have just spitballed together a slice of life #TTRPG system for a game thatβs not very slice of life centric and am now wondering if I should spin the mechanics off into a more fleshed out system/maybe a whole game systemβ¦

Pop me in the D&D one please, currently designing a massive module for it that will be published, and a bunch of other stuff I plan to publish between now and then ranging from maps to statblocks
