Alas, after my brief moment in the sun, I am back to no 2 behind the unstoppable juggernaut that is @daggerheartrpg.bsky.social 🥲 @darringtonpress.bsky.social #ttrpg #5e #dnd

I hear Necrotic Gnome are planning to release new Old-School Essentials tomes, and they're ditching the box set model. I always thought they looked great. Was thinking of buying them, but should I hold off? I'm dipping my toe into #our play… #ose #ttrpgs #Dolmenwood

😱 #dnd #5e #ttrpgs

Sorry, folks… I’m having to do a bit more shameless self-promotion after the last post got taken 🤦‍♂️ If you’re able to upvote these, I’d really, really appreciate it. Beat the algorithm! (More below) #dnd #5e #ttrpg

Aaaah crap. I'm so used to using the DMs Guild that I completely forgot DriveThruRPG can take up to three days to approve your product. I'm meant to be releasing The Campaign Handbook tomorrow 😭 Hopefully all will be well . . . #ttrpg #5e #dnd

The 2014 DMG suggest five hexes pee inch for drawing maps (local area, regions, continents). Is this a standard size? It seems very small to me… #osr #ttrpg #dnd

There's obviously a lot of overlap between #hexcrawls, #sandbox games, open tables, and the #WestMarches model. Q: is it possible to run an open-table sandbox with more than one town? Or do you need that West Marches–style limitation of a single base for the open table to work? #osr #ose #ttrpg

Seconding the suggestions for Hexcrawl Toolkit & Cairn 2e! If using abstract hexes: use the Realm generation procedures from @bastionland.bsky.social's Mythic Bastionland If using representative hexes: use @jedediahberry.bsky.social's (Cairn compatible) Valley of Flowers Difference explained 👇

I absolutely love Otherworld minis. I only have one set—a selection of drow—but they're gorgeous. Really should finish painting them at some point…

#OSR fans! What are the best #megadungeon and #hexcrawl products I should explore? I'm thinking about an open table samdbox-style game and want some inspiration. Probably #OSE? ##ttrpg

It’s still remarkable that Disney produced - and released - this segment in 1940. A horror short that should rank with its Universal monster movie contemporaries… The animation is lush and experimental, and really shows off the Disney special animated effects team…

Tonight we played 'The House on Harrow Hill' from the AD&D First Quest starter set. It was great :) Happy Halloween! #ttrpg

I've been playing a lot of Might and Magic VI recently, and it's making me think again about whether I want to try a more old-school kind of game like #OSE —maybe even an open table or West Marches model? #ttrpg #mm6

I never loved the terms 'demihuman' and 'humanoid' in #dnd. They sound too sci-fi to me, and also weirdly othering. Are there better alternatives? Kin? Folk? Mortals?

Hadn't heard of DURF before today, but it looks really fun! And the graphic design is GORGEOUS. Who's played it? @emielboven.itch.io #ttrpgs www.kickstarter.com/projects/emi...

ONE WEEK TO GO! New post: how to prep fast with The Campaign Handbook. And a back cover reveal! #dnd #ttrpgs #5e scrollforinitiative.com/2025/10/28/o...

From the official announcement it says there are no plans to alter the current licensing agreements, so no. At least not yet.

So Asmodee now has the rights for #LotR. Does this mean Free League's #TheOneRing RPG is dead? I'll be fuming if so. And seriously, can we stop passing around this license? I was sad when Cubicle 7 lost it, and Free League is only just getting started… #ttrpgs

Anyone used the Deck of Worlds from @storyenginedeck.bsky.social? It looks pretty snazzy. storyenginedeck.com/products/dec...

I can't believe how many people have DMed Curse of Strahd and have never seen this masterpiece #dnd

Blade Runner Star Wars Star Trek Terminator Then probably Alien, Jurassic Park, or The Matrix. Shame so many of these franchises have really garbage films in them, though. Tricky.

Who's got #Halloween #ttrpg plans this year? I'm hoping to do either a CLASSIC #adnd First Quest adventure or something from the #Dragonbane starter set. What about you?

Revised edition of GURPS 4e? I have a lot of fondness for that game. Never actually played it a table, but tinkered with it heavily, ran a play-by-post game for a while. I love the ambition of it.

Am I mad to think about a three-column grid for an adventure module? (Awesome map from @phildyson.bsky.social - see here for more! dysonlogos.blog/maps/multi-p...) #dnd #5e

Tonight's work: a 'fungal queen' from Dungeons & Lasers. Just a base paint so far, but I'm aiming for Zuggtmoy. #dnd

Me: I should probably do something productive with my precious hours of freedom today. My brain: would you like to spend a few hours playing an open-world RPG from 1998?

The 2024 encounter building rules seem kinda broken. Eleven kobold warriors (CR ⅛) for four 1st-level characters = 'low difficulty'? Really? I appreciate 1st-level characters are a bit beefier in 2024, but not THAT much beefier, and the monsters hit harder than they used to! #5e #dnd

Silver Marches sandbox campaign. What do we think? Awesome map by the awesome @mikeschley.bsky.social #dnd #5e

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Painting minis: fun! Finish minis: really fun! Clipping, assembling, priming minis: really not fun!

Apparently there's art of a woman in a wheelchair in the new starter set, and it's brought all the ableists out of the woodwork again. Sigh. #dnd #5e

Don't know if this is legit, but I'M VERY EXCITE

I've been using this image of Castle #Ravenloft as a creative writing prompt for years. So far, none of my kids has recognized it, and this makes me sad. #5e #dnd

Still can't believe I got all of these amazing #ttrpg people to write back to me. Would love to expand it one day! #dnd #5e scrollforinitiative.com/2023/12/02/f...

I've never watched Scrubs or played Zelda, amd the whole emo/indie sleaze thing totally passed me by. I'm only ashamed of one of these things.

TIL that there is no dire bear in #5e. How have I never noticed this before? (Reason: it's called a cave bear instead, which I guess was a real-life predator.) #dnd
