What do you think are the biggest differences in running a #ttrpg for kids vs adults?

Seems like a very good deal for folks in the USA

Mapdrop. My players made a detour to Candlekeep, so here's a study hall. Map is free from my #inkarnate, and hopefully clonable too.

Ok ttrpg designers. What do you give players after the game? So they can follow you and play more A business card? A website link? A discord invite? All I have right now is the player sheet doubles as a brochure, but I need to put a QR code to a website or something #rpgdesign

Paid DMing from a different perspective. Let's be honest, DMing OSRs can be a ton of fun and rewarding, but there's a lot that can go into it. We have a friend who's an amazing GM AND revels in it. Not everyone's that lucky though. If folks have the money and everyone's having fun, then why not?

Daily DnD Would you rather: As a new year gift your GM offers you one of the following. Would you rather: - the total amount of XP needed to level up between your current level and your next level. (Including roll over XP) Or - a feat of your choosing from official sources

Interesting and important insight into paid GMing.

No discussions mid combat, right?

The Stranger Things finale shows the party back together at the table, fighting Strahd. Things are going poorly, and it all comes down to Will. Everyone at the table starts chiming in with advice on what he should do. Do you allow players to stop and discuss strategy mid-combat?

What I’d do if I started making ttrpgs in 2026: - Create zines initially - Pitch to established publishers - Focus on less art and better layout - Don’t chase trends or awards - Collaborate more - Don’t rely on crowdfunding - Promote unashamedly - Judge success against your own progress

I often get asked how I make monsters for #dnd, especially after the 2024 update! So I put together a video laying out my process for making quick, easy monsters that will fit right alongside the published monsters.

Happy New Year! If you are digging into a daily dungeon writing project this year, let me remind you about the Dungeon Design Course. Follow along with the guide step by step with examples, prompts, worksheets, and links to other resources. dungeons.hismajestytheworm.games

Good morning and Happy New Year! 2025 was tough but we've come out stronger and hopefully, wiser. I want to thank the many people in the ttrpg community here who helped make the year better. Here’s hoping 2026 brings more chances to talk, create, and share our favorite hobby together.

There is no nation on earth so enamored with fireworks as the Dutch. This is not a municipal celebration, it’s every fucking neighborhood in the entire country! It’s literally insane. There’s no way to comprehend the Dutch infatuation without experiencing it. Happy New Year!

Early D&D combat wasn’t loose or arbitrary. It was procedural. It wasn't about realism or grind, but helping to manage risk, reduce uncertainty, & telegraph danger to players. My latest video is about early D&D combat procedures, why they worked, & what we lost: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7mF...

Ruin a band by making it D&D: New Order of the Gauntlet

Classic bank heist in Gelsenkirchen (the city most hated by UK press) After busting the vault they took an estimated 30 million EUR

Why do I love RPGs? Why do I especially love horror RPGs? They inspire deep emotional exploration. I did a 2-shot that shows it. Watch these players fall into what the people they made go through. Liminal Horror: Unland (ep 1) youtu.be/o1grYpV5a0E

Reading a bit of a long winded rant and I believe the general point being made is that statistically speaking, most TTRPGs out there aren’t for you, but the trick is knowing the difference between “not for you” and “bad” when talk about them, because those usually aren’t the same thing. 🤔

I just finished reading a short article about podcasts, and now I’m curious. Do you prefer the traditional audio only format or video?

Ran the first session of Tomb of Annihilation for the family. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun (they love Port Nyanzaru) but am uncertain how well the boys will do if I don’t take it easy on them.

I've been talking about Castle Automatic a lot, but I want to make sure I pull the camera back and talk about the game system it's built for, HIS MAJESTY THE WORM, too. Gonna make a 🧵 about the core game's principles and add to it over the coming week. (First post below!)
