Flumph VII finale! Hopefully this dungeon will work properly, lol. youtube.com/live/4WW1lyS... #dnd #dnd5e #flumph #ttrpgs

I invite you all to die on the same hill I'm on, which is to say, the one where we all know The Extreme whips the pants off of Dancing Mad and One Winged Angel as far as final boss music goes. #finalfantasy #extreme #reallywhipsthellamasass

Still plugging away at this massive multiworld. We're at the point that I'm scraping games for checks two and three at a time. But I'll be cold in the dusty earth before I use a !hint. youtube.com/live/DNfwZCa... #youtube #stream #retrogaming

Is there a boomer humor comic, (e.g. about not being allowed to order black coffee, or musing about global warming while standing in a snow drift) about remembering a time when a video game console didn't have to update for 20 minutes every time it's powered on? #retrogaming

That moment in your 26-game Archipelago multiworld when you realize a whole continent of Final Fantasy XII has opened up: youtube.com/live/Gw_h6VU... #youtube #stream #retrogaming

I've searched YouTube and I can't find anyone who has done a solo Archie this big before. Granted, I haven't searched on Twitch, because searching for anything on Twitch is a futile effort and they don't keep archives anyway. Here's Day 8: youtube.com/live/ip_2V7w... #youtube #stream #retrogaming

Saturday multiworld stream! Last night we took about 300 checks out of Ocarina of Time so maybe today we give the Zeldos a rest for a bit. youtube.com/live/NPTMTQ6... #youtube #stream #retrogaming

Day five of this gargantuan solo multiworld. I had to pull two of the games when they wouldn't load properly, leaving me with "only" 26 to complete. youtube.com/live/ZjPKMli... #youtube #stream #retrogaming

We're on Day 3 of the 28-game solo multiworld. Still thousands of checks left. Starting things off today with Link's Awakening DX: youtube.com/live/Ebyj4pt... #stream #youtube #zelda #retrogaming

Whoops I tripped and dropped 28 different games into the soup and now the soup is just all the games mixed together: youtube.com/live/ao3aJdK... #youtube #stream #retrogaming #multiworld

Every character in Vampire Crawlers is the best character in Vampire Crawlers.

This is a rare and good year for film, apparently. Usually there are zero movies I want to see in theaters, but this year (so far) there have been two! Unheard of! #projecthailmary #coyotevsacme

I just typed something into a monster stat block that I'm pretty sure is against the Geneva Convention. I can't even share it here because I don't want black vans to show up at my house. My players are gonna LOVE this monster. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg

It's great when this happens because the encounter you designed just goes back on the shelf for later use. It's like getting a two-for-one!

I like alignment in D&D so much that I yapped into a microphone about it for about 90 minutes. I busted out my PHBs from across several editions to examine how the concept changed from 1e to 5e. Some of what I read surprised me! #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg youtube.com/live/zD02WHw...

I am incredibly lucky that I get to play D&D with exactly the people I want, year after year. If you asked me to list my five ideal players I would just hand you a list of my five current players. I can't imagine having a problem I can only fix by getting rid of my friends. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpgs

We are about 43% done with this Archipelago multiworld with 63 games and almost 50k checks: youtube.com/live/-do34M5... #youtube #stream #retrogaming

I end up with dozens of unused NPCs after my initial planning for a campaign. This isn't wasted effort because 1) I love the creative process of inventing characters, and 2) the unused characters go into a bucket for later retrieval. The main character of my novel spent years in that bucket.

I'm drafting a bunch of potential NPCs for my next D&D campaign. I have no idea how many of these I'll use or which ones will go on to be important characters. Just kinda depends on which way the players go. But fingers crossed for the old grouchy mouse knight. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg

The current Flumph dungeon is a grand library long since lost. Here's one of the weirdass encounters my players had to contend with: #dnd #dnd5e #library #tomato

Here's the post everyone else is doing, I think this is all accurate. #retrogaming

"Why can't I use skill checks instead of roleplaying? My DM doesn't make my friend prove he can swing a huge battle axe before he's allowed to roll to hit!" This is a DM problem, not a system problem, and certainly not a specific-to-5e problem. #dnd #ttrpg 🧵1/7

My ideal style of social mechanic for a TTRPG: Nothing. I don't want rules governing how I can or should roleplay, and neither do my players. We respect each other enough to operate without guard rails. The odd skill check covers our bases, and otherwise we just... talk to each other. #dnd #ttrpg

My favorite thing to do in response to the argument that D&D either can't do [thing] or does [thing] badly is to sit and smile and remember all the times my players and I had a blast doing [thing] in D&D. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg

So many youtube videos be like, is such-and-such game worth playing today? In 2026? And the answer is always YES. 100% of the time, yes. Play every old game, forever. Listen to old music and read old books too. Be nice to old people. My goodness. #retrogaming

Speaking as a DM who is about to run a game exclusively about talking animal people, this sort of post is exactly the wrong energy to be putting out into the world. An Uno reverse played on a mean-spirited expression is still a mean-spirited expression. #dnd #ttrpg #talkinganimals

There's still about 60% of this Mario 64/Mega Man X4/Cave Story solo Archie multiworld to go! youtube.com/live/Sq830xE... #youtube #stream #mario #megaman #cavestory

Hello, this is my 999th post to Bluesky. I decided to celebrate by playing Super Mario 64, Mega Man X4, and Cave Story all at the same time: youtube.com/live/wVpqtoc... #youtube #stream #mario #megaman #cavestory #archipelago

Taskmaster is the greatest TV show of all time, and I'm just not gonna argue with y'all about it. I've seen like 40 seasons and I would watch 400 more. I hope they figure out how to make a US version work at some point.

If I make a mistake while DMing that I can't quietly fix behind the screen, my solution is to just tell my players about the mistake, but then to let the mistake play out in the world to see what happens. This has led to some... interesting situations. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg 🧵1/5

A good buddy of mine made an impassioned argument that the part you hate most about the original Myst is actually genius. Or maybe he made a ragebait video, I dunno. Here, you can watch it for yourself: youtu.be/zfgfteCjVKc?... #myst #puzzlegame #minecart

Lots of discussion about whether D&D classes have combat roles (they do) or whether D&D 4e was the first to have tanks (it wasn't) and I believe we can all meditate upon this illustration from the Wizardry instruction manual, a game which was based on D&D and released in 1987: #dnd #dnd5e #wizardry

Doing some D&D dungeon prep. I have two little spice shakers on my desk for just this kind of work, labeled "gracious mercy" and "quadruple deadly encounters". I'll let you guess which one is empty tonight. #dnd #dnd5e #dungeondesign

Our D&D5e campaign seems to be careening toward an epic showdown between Duke Rowan Darkwood and Azalin Rex. You might not know those names unless you're into some oldschool D&D lore, but I assure you, we're all terrified. #dnd #dnd5e #planescape #ravenloft

I have a working theory that, deep down, every single person regardless of race/gender expression/sexual orientation/spawn point/generation/etc. just wants to be the prettiest princess. Some want it all the time, others only once in a while. But nobody NEVER wants to be the prettiest princess.

Three years ago the party's shadow monk was slavered upon by a werewolf and contracted lycanthropy. After the session I asked the player if we should cure the affliction or if he wanted his character to suffer with it. His response was, and I'm quoting, "eff me up fam". 🐺1/2 #dnd #ttrpg #werewolf

One of the things I love about D&D is the same thing that drives a lot of people away: the ability to change or adapt whatever I need, to plug or unplug individual rules or entire sets of rules as I see fit. Some folks call this a flaw but to me it's a joy and an opportunity. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg

Sometimes writing a fantasy novel feels like building a bridge, except you don't know where the bridge is supposed to connect to, or what's holding it up, and when you look back you're surprised to see it's not connected to where you thought you started, either. #writing #amwriting #fantasy #bridge

So my next D&D campaign is about woodland critters, so I went ahead and added otter-folk as a playable PC race (as you do), and I was like, "Hmm... how can I make monks even MORE obnoxious?" 🦦 #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg #otters

I am a world-class champion in missing the point. Here's an example. You know AM's famous "I Hate" speech? The devastating and terrifying fulcrum of a story about torture and despair? It never worked for me, because I just don't believe an infinite supercomputer would measure anything in miles.

Time for another unpopular D&D opinion? Sure, here's one: I don't care about player character backstories. Not even the eensiest-weensiest little bit. I don't care if you wrote half a sentence on a cocktail napkin, or a 300-page epic you keep under your pillow. Not my zoo. #dnd #ttrpg 🧵1/6

Someone asked me if I still had the world map from the very first Flumph campaign, from back in 2015. I don't keep very good archives, so I didn't have it, but I took a YouTube screenshot and tried to re-create it. So here's Trennus, the Known World, from Salute the Flumph. #dnd #dnd5e #ttrpg 🗺️1/6

You know what, if an endless parade of mediocre superhero movies and live action Disney remakes is what this industry needs to accidentally make something like Project Hail Mary every couple of years, then I forgive all of it. I can't wait to own this on blu-ray and watch it fifty more times.

Mysteries are notoriously tricky in D&D. A mystery is usually punctuated by an "Aha!" moment, but usually those moments are scripted and performed, not arrived at organically. You're not going to get the same nutrients from your D&D mystery that you did from Knives Out. #dnd #ttrpgs 🧵1/6

I like "fail forward" as a tool in my belt when I run D&D. But I reject the concept as being axiomatically correct. I also reject the idea that failing stalls the story. It's often best to just let the players fail, and then attack the problem from another angle. 🧵1/6 #dnd #ttrpg

I want to read how folks are having fun with D&D and other TTRPGs. I want to see their artwork and hear about their adventures and watch my favorite hobby bring people together. I don't really know how to do that. Social media seems designed to amplify maximum anger at all times. #dnd #ttrpg
