Day 2 of the dice advent calendar is a nice pearlescent green d20. Keeping on theme with Christmas colors. Can't wait to see where this goes. #rpgdice #dice #ttrpg

My fantastic wife got me a dice advent calendar! Today's dice, a nice red d6. Hopefully, the first of a set. #rpgdice #dice #ttrpg

Played in a game of #Dolmenwood today. My first time with the system. It was a blast. My human friar, Brother Crump, nearly died twice, and the second time was nearly a TPK. But in the end, we brought two ghostly lovers together. Amazing time. #TTRPG

Confession time. Thanksgiving has become one of my least favorite holidays, because it's just really stressful for me, and I'm more thankful when it's over than I am during the day itself.

Okay, I tried, really hard, to keep up with Campaign 4. I did. But I realized that it was stressing me out to try and watch 5 hours every week, and I wasn't enjoying it all that much to boot. So, I just decided to give up. And I feel much better about that decision. #TTRPG #CriticalRole

Hot Take: The "Anti-Mariah Carey" memes are old and stale and I am sick of them.

Played some #D&D today, and had an absolute blast. Now, I just want to play more D&D. #TTRPG

Random #TTRPG campaign setting idea. We're watching Critical Role do a game where the setting is "What if the Gods were dead?" and Forgotten Realms did "What if the Gods became Mortals for a time?" How about a setting where the Gods were new? #D&D

RPG tip from the archive: You can run multiple battles for a split party simultanously by running one initiative order and jumping back and forth between the two scenes as the init order rolls out. #dnd #ttrpg

I've been thinking about something a lot lately. Ever since a member of my gaming group lamented not having the skills to do art (after showing them a picture I drew). Now, I realize he was talking specifically about drawing, but I think he also meant it more broadly. #ttrpg

Today was the final day of my #ForbiddenLands campaign. After nearly 2 years, it all came down the the final battle. After assaulting the city of Vond with an army of allies, the party made it to the fortress and started climbing the mountain. #TTRPG

Okay, coloring is done for my #ForbiddenLands party pic. I'm excited to give it to them today in celebration of our last session. #ttrpg

It's slow going, but I think it's coming out really nice. #ttrpg #forbiddenlands

Playtest game 2 of EverCrawl just finished, with some changes made to the rules from game. I am really happy with it, I think I have a solid core set of rules. I'll make some minor adjustments, and I have some GM stuff to add, but overall, I'm happy with where it's at. #TTRPG #GameDesign #Writing

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

Work in Progress: my Forbidden Lands is reaching an end, so I wanted to do something for my players. So, I thought I would draw the party here at the end of the game. I plan on inking it and coloring it, but here's the pencils. #ttrpg #ForbiddenLands

So, today I got to play a game of Tribes in the Dark, the remake of Tribe 8 using the Forged in the Dark game engine. I have to tell you, it was amazing. The rules work seamlessly with the setting of Tribe 8, almost like it was made for it. Totally worth it. #TTRPG #TribesInTheDark #Tribe8

Christian extremists in LA raise a stink over a kid's book. Why? It's "pornographic." Because it says some kids have two mommies. Well LA school board president Goldberg has a few choice words about =that=. Wow. Just wow. Madam President, take a bow. 💐💐💐 #lgbtqia+ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjaa...

All this week, I'll be posting lesson plans and materials from my History of RPGs class, where I ran micro versions of historically significant TTRPGs like AD&D and Apocalypse World! Every day I'll post a new game I ran in my class. Stay tuned!

Today marked the beginning of the end of my 2+ year long Forbidden Lands campaign. Next session (in 4 weeks) will be the final session as the party faces the BBEG. It's exciting! It's been a long time since I reached the end of a story like this. #TTRPG #ForbiddenLands #FreeLeague

Pro: It's raining! Yay! Con: It's not getting any cooler! So, 80 degrees outside AND it's raining. Ugh!

No brush, no pencil. Just a typewriter. Artist James, using a 1930s Smith Premier typewriter, typed out this painting. #art #printer #unique #typewriter #illustration

In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.

Just finished my first EverCrawl playtest, and it went really well. Everyone loved it. It worked mostly well, but got some good feedback on how to make things better. They're all excited to play again. ##ttrpg #gamedesign

Getting ready to run my first playtest for EverCrawl tomorrow. I'm freaked out. The rules I have are mostly combat oriented, because that's a big part of the game, but do I have enough other stuff prepped for tomorrow? I don't know. How interesting will all this be? I DON'T KNOW! #TTRPG #GameDesign

Today's GM Mantra: I should prepare for the game I'm going to actually play next, not the one that I'm not even going to run for another few months. #TTRPG #GameMaster

Something really cool happened today at my game, the kind of thing that, as a GM, makes you super happy. So, the game I am currently running at my local game store, Forbidden Lands, has been running for a little over 2 years now, and is coming to a close. #TTRPG #GameMaster #ForbiddenLands

Okay, I think I have a decent enough working character sheet in Roll20 for my EverCrawl game. Now, to put together an adventure to actually play out these rules and see how well things work. #TTRPG #Writing #GameDesign

I have a confession. I hate Spotify. Maybe it's my age, but I cannot figure out how to make it work. I look up an artist, click on one of their songs, and it... plays something else, from a different artist. I hate it.

Okay, I have scheduled my first ever play test for EverCrawl, my RPG about dungeon crawling in a never ending mega dungeon. Looking forward to getting some feedback! #TTRPG #Writing #GameDesign

Holy Shit! I did it! I got enough rules written down for EverCrawl that I feel like I can actually give this thing a playtest. It's not a complete set of rules by any stretch, but it's enough to get started. I feel good! Now comes the terrifying part. Actually play testing it. #TTRPG #writing

New Outlook sucks. That's it, that's the whole post.

I've made some real progress in this RPG I am working on. I'm surprised at how much I am enjoying this. Hopefully, when I get enough down to play. I'll follow through and actually playtest it. #ttrpg #writting

Fantastic game of #ForbiddenLands today. The party discovered that the mythical Mother of All Dragons was, in fact, real, and trapped beneath a dwarven stronghold. #TTRPG

Working on writing my on RPG & I find myself repeatedly asking "is that going to work? Will that make things too hard? Will this be too deadly?" And I realize what I need to do is stop tweaking it, get enough rules written out to play test, & move on from there. But, man, it's hard. #TTRPG #Writing

I have a question for the RPG crowd. This is aimed at players (so, not specifically a Game Master question, but of course GMs are free to answer). #ttrpg

There's something specific about Donald Trump that has bothered me since he first road down on that escalator. And that's that he constantly refers to underage girls as women. Not young women, not teens, and especially not girls, but just women.

I say this with all the respect I believe is owed to the man... Fuck Hulk Hogan.

Okay, potentially stupid idea. A #D&D adventure (probably a one-shot) based on Smokey and the Bandit. The party has to get a wagon of ale from one kingdom to another in a very short period of time, the whole while being chased by a guard captain and his stupid son. #ttrpg #eastboundanddown

I have what I think is a hilarious idea for a series of TicTok or YouTube shorts. A merchant from Oerth (the world of Grayhawk) who uses a crystal ball to project his conspiracy theory that the world is NOT flat, but actually a sphere! "Open your eyes, sheeple! The world is a globe!" #D&D #Greyhawk

Using the 8 steps of the Lazy DM from @slyflourish.com to prep for my Forbidden Lands game this weekend. #ttrpg #forbiddenlands #lazydm

ITS OFFICIAL. MURDERBOT SEASON TWO. #Murderbot reactormag.com/murderbot-ha...

As a believer in God, but not someone who identifies as a Christian, I've always wondered why it is that American Fundamentalists are always so focused on the 10 Commandments from Moses and not the Beatitudes that are actually from Jesus.
