We're looking for a sensitivity reader for an upcoming #ttrpg who is connected to India and its culture. If you're interested, please PM us for details. #ttrpgCommunity #dnd #rpg #ttrpgsky #ttrpgs

GM Tip: Players often want to make highly competent characters and don't think to put conflict into their backstories. But conflict is great for making good stories! Ask the players to come up with at least one messy part of their past that can be mined for ideas in the campaign. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

What's the most creative way you've reskinned a monster to fit your campaign setting? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

This week's #ShadowsOverSol 2e progress is less about creative output (unfortunately) and more about juggling international printing & shipping logistics, as well as digital content agreements. Read more on our blog! #scifi #horror #ttrpg​ #rpg #dnd #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity​​

GM Tip: Don’t protect your villains. Let them fail, flee, adapt, or die. A dynamic antagonist becomes far more memorable than an untouchable one. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

What's the most unexpectedly wholesome (or bawdy) villain interaction that's happened at your table? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

What's your favorite #ttrpg setting? And what aspect(s) of it makes it your favorite? Bonus points if you share a map! #ttrpgCommunity #dnd #worldbuilding #rpg #ttrpgsky

GM Tip: Give players narrative control sometimes. Let them define a small fact about the world, a rumor, or a relationship to make the game feel more collaborative. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

Wonderful work done for us by @emilyofcraftoncove.bsky.social. Looking forward to seeing it in the #ShadowsOverSol 2e layout.

What's the weirdest romantic subplot that's developed between two characters at your table? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

Fun new corp logos by @eleeshepherd.bsky.social! They'll look great in the #ShadowsOverSol 2e layout!

GM Tip: Try to make your players feel their characters aren't failures, even if their rolls suck. A miss or failed skill test can often be narrated as misfortune or circumstances beyond the character's control. #tttrpg #dnd #rpg #ttrpgCommunity

Excellent new art by @artist-zelina.bsky.social! Excited to see how they'll look in the #ShadowsOverSol 2e layout!

What's your record for most NPCs voiced in a single scene? It's always awkward when have to talk to each other, too. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

Unlike many in the #ttrpgCommunity, my first #ttrpg wasn't #dnd, but instead was #MERP. From there I moved on to #Dragonlance Fifth Age, then #Starshield, then #WorldOfDarkness. What was your first #RPG?

GM Tip: When improvising, focus on the "why" behind an NPC's actions. If their reasoning is clear, everything else will follow naturally. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #ttrpgCommunity

What's the most heart-wrenching backstory motivation your players have surprised you with? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

GM Tip: Reuse themes and motifs. Repetition with variation gives your world a rhythm, builds symbolic weight and helps reinforce mood and meaning. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #worldbuilding

How persistent are your players when an NPC clearly has nothing for them? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

#ShadowsOverSol 2e marches onward! This week we reviewed the first art, proofed the poster map and made progress on the FoundryVTT support. We also expect the GM Screen soon. Read more on our blog! #scifi #horror #ttrpg​ #rpg #dnd #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

GM Tip: I like to divide long campaigns into shorter "chapters" of 4 to 8 sessions. This allows me to alternate between different campaigns with each chapter, preventing burnout. And it allows me to check in with players regularly, adjusting the campaign as needed. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #ttrpgCommunity

Which system completely changed your perspective on what tabletop RPGs could be? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

Follow a band of elite guards as they patrol the streets, navigate politics, face off against criminal organizations, uncover corruption in the highest echelons of society and discover an unknown subterranean civilization. What Lies Beneath is available! https://buff.ly/uDOBOt3 #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

A few weeks ago I posted a thread covering the basics of building a #ttrpg social media presence. I got a bunch of DMs about it. Great! Let's level up and talk about where to spend those hard-earned social media experience points. (1/10) #ttrpgsky #dnd #rpg #ttrpgcommunity #indiedev #socialmedia

GM Tip: Have backup encounters or events ready in case players deviate from your plan. Improvisation flows easier with a safety net. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #ttrpgCommunity

What's the most hilariously misguided get-rich-quick scheme your party has ever attempted? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

GM Tip: Build secrets into your world that not even the players' characters are meant to uncover easily. Layers of mystery reward curiosity and encourage exploration. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #worldbuilding #gaming

Hey #ttrpgCommunity! What's a common GM habit that you think should be reconsidered or even eliminated? #ttrpgs #dnd #rpg #gaming

GM Tip: Prepare meaningful consequences for failure. A loss shouldn't be the end: it should open new story paths that are equally compelling to explore. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

How do you handle it when the dice completely derail your planned encounter? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

GM Tip: While there's no need to prepare every detail, don't under-prepare because you were afraid your efforts would be wasted. Nothing you make is ever wasted. You can use it later, in this campaign or the next. Even if you never use it, the practice still made you a better GM. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg
