#ttrpg
It's all coming together. A magic item (possibly cursed), a 28 line Burtonesque poem telling it's terrible, murderous lore, and a rival who's seeking it.
Title: The Piper In The Well.

My very first published #dnd book - #ShotglassAdventures volume 1. Contains my all-time fave adventure “Murder in Seaforth” plus 9 other awesome one-page adventures. I love this book (and based on the feedback, so do lots of others!) 😊

Breathing has been extra-tiring these last couple of days, so it feels like the week has gotten really sluggish as far as the writing goes.
I think today will just have to be a mapping day. Mapping is my "curl up in a blanket because brain cannot brain" activity, and I have a lot of building interiors I need to do more drafting on.
I've been trying to work on my fantasy character designs.
Here's a Tabaxi Druid I painted for a friend a while back. Sadly not a played character yet, perhaps in a one-shot some day?
Done with finerliner and watercolour. The rock colour is a reference to a local beach, lots of purple/red slate.
I was particularly happy with the cape lighting and the faux-metallic gold effect on the bangles.

And an intro portrait for a character in my Shadowrun game.
It’s been a great day so far. Had a session of our family DnD game this morning before heading to an escape room (we escaped!). Now I’m about to sit down finish Waybound. Great day. How’s your Friday shaping up?
#DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG #waybound #WillWight #EscapeRoom #AmReading
Driving back from work through the sunny fields and forest of East Holstein every day, and making myself more familiar with the rules of #Dragonbane, keeps inspiring me to take another shot at creating an Elfgame Fantasyland setting based on 13th century North-Eastern Europe.
But I don't think I actually have anything new to add that hasn't been done hundreds of times before, and I already got a Sword & Sorcery and a Space Opera setting in the work for which I have plenty great ideas.
Cthulhu Hack 2e—Investigation and Revelation in a Dark Universe. A simple #TTRPG game of #Lovecraftian nightmares, pitting ordinary people against the terrors of a Dark Universe. A 156-page book with almost all you need to start — just find yourself some dice and something to write with.
Released to backers today.
Released to DriveThruRPG tomorrow.

I really don't understand how there are people getting hissy fits in response to "System matters".
Do they actually believe "system does not matter"?
In all my yrs of #roleplaying, many adventures were in #dnd. I saw #dragons only twice. The 1st one was an ice dragon in a metadimensional prison. It was a #dnd4e campaign so using trickery we managed to kill it in combat.
Last session in #dnd5e, I met the 2nd. In a complex situation we took its side. During the aftermath, we got #high with the bronze #dragon & promised to retreive his best #stash that got #stolen by other dragons in exchange for a favour. Precious #ttrpg moment!
On June 15, I'll be kicking off my first Crowdfundr campaign!
Please join in on the pre-launch so you can get in on day 1 rewards and PLEASE help spread the word to make this a success!
Also, check out The Librarian's Apprentice, featured in the example article below, who is kicking off a their own campaign at the end of the month!
You wanna know how widespread #TTRPG Actual Play is?
My student researcher let me know this week that students at the campus station are pondering starting an AP.

Inspired by my day, I give you a Title.
What #ttrpg plot/module/scenario would you write?
"You Can't Get Quicker"
Seems I might be down a player for tomorrow's #DungeonWorld #TTRPG session, which means only 2 players for the adventure I've been preparing. It would really work better with more, and different classes... time to set this one aside and think up something else.
I'm trying to find detailed documentation of the melee "Interlock" combat system from The Matrix Online.
I played the game and know the basics, but I'm interested in how the special abilities functioned.
(Yeah, this is #ttrpg combat system research. ;) )
@PDStorrie favorite #TTRPG Fantasy setting is definitely Talislanta. But I’m rather fond of Glorantha and Earthdawn as well. And Pendragon, but that feels like a different category really.
Hah! This is literally perfect as a flavour image for the #ttrpg I'm working on, #cosmoboros! Shamelessly snatching it.
Among the many reasons this is possible is addictive combination of this good entertainment clause and the ability of #ttrpg to just ask its participants, "What's most likely to capture your interest?"

Conversation on discord I shocked the Mongoose Traveller players with my experience house rules. In CT I give players a new skill every 2 years in game. For T5 I bump that to every year.
For CT that’s actually rather generous. Original rules it took 8 years to improve 2 skills by 1. With two dedication checks.

Progress so far on my solo Twilight 2000 game. Yellow markers are for the first game, orange are for the second (current) game.
Triangles are for encounters, stars are travel markers (start, stop, destination etc)
Really liking how this is filling out in to a persistent map for future use already.
Unleash the adventurer within and explore the harsh desert world of #Zalanthar!
Immerse yourself in ancient ruins, wield powerful magic, and navigate treacherous factions.
A new system-agnostic #TTRPG setting!

In addition to the richly detailed setting book, we are excited to announce the release of "Sandswept - Tales of Zalanthar," a rules-light RPG game that captures the essence of Zalanthar's thrilling adventures.

This ebony wood wand is adorned with silver symbols. A malevolent force seems to exude from the wand, as if offering to bargain for greater powers.

Navel-gazing and moaning ahead.
My current #PersonaeSRD #PersonaeRPG #ShadowlightRPG #ShadowlightAndPersonae letdown? Regret? Not really sure what the right word for it is...there's a generic #TTRPG rules system, but it doesn't do much in the way of heavy lifting to evoke what the game is supposed to be about. There are games that offer the most effective tech: Gumshoe, Hints & Hijinks...Brainstorming in Atomic Robo could be reverse-engineered.
Been doodling the dungeon. I want the floors to all fit together and kind of make sense. I realize this is probably largely illegible and I will eventually redraw these in a useful form but I have decided that this is the project I will show my "process" insofar as I have one.
I want this to be navigable entirely by text so I'll do text writeups first.

Out of curiosity… what’s the best “looking for group” sites for #notdnd gamers these days? Particularly for European time zones. Ideally somewhere you can get a sense of the players and vibes, at least more-so than reaching out to random folks on reddit or whatever.
Open to GM or play almost anything. Already got a D&D group and don’t need another. #ttrpg
@losthavenart most recently I had the earthdawn game masters guide bookmarked multiple times, and it was on the poison section and the particular trap I was modifying because I had to go back and forth and put it down to add info to the vtt entry I was adding. So basically the sections I was referencing during my session prep.

When I was writing Dead Letter Society (i.e. vampires) I was thinking "but what if I want to be a werewolf?!"

Massive statues are a standout feature in numerous #fantasy settings and #fiction #writing.
Here is one particularly monumental example in our world—the largest statue ever built (so far).
This is the Statue of Unity, which stands 182 meters (597 feet). See image 3 for a comparison to other famous statues.

Second proper #ForbiddenLands session, and I thoroughly enjoyed it even though I was rather tired from the beginning.
Having no string to follow still makes me a bit uncomfortable, but it actually matches my usual GM style rather well - just let the players wander around and try to let the world react in a believable way. And I also always enjoy improvising quirky, or even crotchety geezers to irk the players.

Inspired by PF2e, the Black Hack and Dave Clark (yes, those are all very different sources), I did a small thing to let you answer the hard-hitting and important questions with swiftness and consistency:
How many kobolds can you carry on a ladder?
How many daggers should one person feasibly be able to carry?
How can I make +1 arrows not feel like total booby prizes?

I played the #ttrpg #MyLifeWithMaster by @paulczege yesterday, with three friends. We created a master and the three minions, and then played a few initial scenes. Next time the story will really start unfolding. But this was already a lot of fun -- four people creating the characters and the setting in an atmosphere of joyously shared creativity. Some #ActualPlay notes, and #GMAdvice, in the thread below. 1/n

Soliciting #TTRPG #Advice from DMs
How do you get player engagement w/out whacking them over the head and screaming "MAKE CHOICES!"?
I find that, except for 1 or 2 (out of 7), my players are much happier being railroaded than guiding their own course in game play. When presented with a choice in the narrative (other than combat), they're silent until an NPC tells them what to do. When I ask OOC for things they want or what could be done to improve enjoyment of the game, I get crickets.

Running two #DungeonWorld #TTRPG games this weekend, and the prep inspiration is flowing well today for a meme-based adventure for one of them.
My journaling game about going on vacation, Souvenirs, just received its update! ✨
It's a visual update that doesn't change the content of the experience but makes the rulebook more beautiful and pleasant to play with, with a colorful & improved layout and some new illustrations.
Get it on @itchio 👉 https://remi-tootata.itch.io/souvenirs 👈
Boosts are very much appreciated, thank you 🔄💐
ICYMI, Souvenirs is a solo role-playing game about writing the journal of a character that goes on vacation for a week, discovers charming places and gets items as souvenirs of their visits. It's an introspective game about the memories we associate with objects and places!

We have decided instead to play #BrindlewoodBay, a delightful #ttrpg about an octogenarian book club who solve murders in their seaside town. The town, of course, has a strange history that leans towards cosmic horror.
Which is to say I have somehow ended up with a new project on my hands, as this is out of our usual GM's wheelhouse (& he's long overdue some time as a player, anyway).
@periaptgames @illumniscate
Also me.
I just really want to know why things in a location are the way they are.
Entropy plays a part, but usually I'm just thinking about significant, habitual, or trivial actions by previous inhabitants that set things in their current state.
#TTRPG #Dungeons
Another change, and one I have mentioned before, is that my #ttrpg group recently lost a member. The remainder of us decided to shelve our #BladesInTheDark game, at least for now. I'm rather disappointed to leave our characters in the middle of an arc, but a fresh start seemed like a good idea.
Just signed up for Dexlite 2023 - the scaled down version of the Dexcon gaming convention.
Planning on running two games - My Judge Dredd/Traveller scenario and my procedural starship crawl - Nautilus of Time.
If you're in NJ at the end of June, check it out.
The template is now also available in Canva - a different kind of platform to the original Google Docs, but a whole lot better than MS Word.
https://hlashbrooke.itch.io/ttrpg-adventure-pamphlet-template
That rounds out all the platforms I intend to create the template for, but if anyone has a suggestion for another freely available, online platform that is good for this kind of thing, then I'm open to suggestions.
Less than an hour left before I host a session of the Brindlewood Bay TTRPG. Very excited to try this one! Let's see if the elderly Murder Mavens can solve the mystery around a suspicious death in town... 👵🏻🔍

Gamemastering when players does something totally different from what you planned 😅
#ttrpg
OK, I'm gonna talk about the method I'm using to run this long-term #TTRPG I'm running right now. It's working well for me! I call it: **a pile of index cards**.
1/7
Just a reminder for #TTRPG folks:
The game is supposed to be fun for everyone.
If someone doesn't like sexual content in their games, don't force them to RP sexual content.
If someone prefers combat to RP, try to give them chances to shine.
If someone has triggers, work with them.
If someone needs a few moments to process something or think... let them have them.
The DM is not the villain. The players are not your enemy.
When it stops being fun, it stops being a game.
Let it stay a game.
The Queer Games Bundle itself is here: https://itch.io/b/1812/queer-games-bundle-2023

My problem with miniatures is they're not convenient to store, transport, and I don't have the time to paint them. Just found this solution on #backerkit and while it is a little spendy, it comes with a lot. That and the built in storage makes it super convenient.

#Dungeon23 #TTRPG #NSR #PRIMALQUEST
@juergen_hubert @germany @folklore One thing that I suspect is not altogether uncommon in folklore but is really super rare in modern fantasy is giving "real" ethnonyms to imagined and semi-mythologised concepts. Might be an interesting thing to play around with as an idea for #TTRPG design and suchlike (though also given some magic associations tend to be with minority cultures in the real world, something to work with carefully).
I think this is the one I'm most pleased with recently, since I think it's the one where the post-work makes the most difference.
It's somehow 22°C here in Scotland, so I think that means it's time for my SUMMER SALE 2023.

We weren't up for posting about it on the day, but on Saturday the 27th we posted our thirteenth free 200-word #ttrpg on our Patreon: repurposed spaces, a worldbuilding game about a structure that was employed by one group and has been reimagined by a later one. We think it's really cool when a world has history, and this is directly about making that history visible.
