Nothing better than good coffee and working on #TTRPG fun ☕️

interesting way to look at weaving your #TTRPG #GM notes directly into your game, from @phd20.com phd20.com/blog/artifac...

New Shadowdark one-shot just dropped! Check out "Kneel Before the Goblin King!" on DriveThruRPG and on Itch ! #osr #ttrpg #dnd www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... josephrlewis.itch.io/kneel-before...

I ran the Nimble #TTRPG for some friends. Excellent support in FoundryVTT a slick character builder. We had a lot of fun and hope to get a few more sessions in before starting whatever our next long-term campaign is.

Most #worldbuilding advice is outside looking in. Turn your GM notes into in-world artifacts—letters, journals, wanted posters—that make your setting feel alive. #TTRPG phd20.com/blog/artifac...

Have you ever found yourself bored with a #TTRPG campaign before its conclusion? Prep feels dead and you're just going through the motions? Here's how to fix that.

The Only Two Questions That Matter for Game Masters: PhD20 https://phd20.com/blog/atomic-game-mastery/ #dnd #ttrpg

Things got weird as I smashed inspiration from #DnD5E, ICRPG, and Nimble into one three-headed dragon. I promise it's cool. I do not promise balance. www.patreon.com/posts/three-...

Another #DnD5E campaign comes to a close. 2.5 years and 48 sessions. One hero died in the finale but it was an epic finish. Long live the Legends of the Nentir Vale 🤘

When players control the clock, the “what do you do” is often completely open-ended with no clear choices to make. When the GM controls the clock, they’re giving intentional situations for players to respond to—choices to make. #TTRPG #DnD

Great topic about who recaps the last session. I wrote an article last year outlining why I chose to do it as the DM. Who recaps in your group? #TTRPG youtu.be/m6XJXjbDMUM?...

This was a really fun watch. And enlightening. youtu.be/6-dUeIQHRYs?...

While there are a lot of tools like time pressure for pacing in #TTRPG, one big problem precedes most of them: controlling the clock. More specifically, who controls the clock.
