What

D&DBeyond finally caved and is calling the 2024 update "5.5e." ...time to go make about a million label changes on the Redcap Press website 🫠 #dnd #ttrpg

Don't panic if your players do something unexpected that completely upends everything you've been planning. You don't need to come up with all the ramifications of what they did on the spot, you only need to buy time till the end of the session. (Plus, that's what makes the game fun!) #dnd #ttrpg

This will 100% be worth checking out, Perils & Princesses is an absolute blast!

It is surprisingly hard to find a cool font with an old-school / fantasy / TTRPG vibe that doesn't hurt readability. Anybody have any favorites? #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: If you're going to surprise your players with some big reveal, do it when they least expect it. Fighting some goblins in an unimportant random encounter? One of them knew your long-lost father. #dnd #ttrpg

Everything's going great until you accidentally describe a large double door as having "huge knockers" and bam, session over. #dnd #ttrpg​

Redcap Press tools all live purely in your web browser. Our most-requested feature (by far) is to add a log-in so whatever you do can live beyond your browsing session. The more I work on that, the more I realize how much work it'll be. Posting to keep myself honest: IT'S COMING! #dnd #ttrpg

Happy Valentine's Day! Celebrate by messing with your players in your next D&D session with a Cupid. Cute little angel baby? Mischievous prankster that just might get somebody killed? Who knows? Link to stats: redcap.press/creatures/cupid Also: last day to shop our Valentine's sale! #dnd #ttrpg

There is no better feeling as a GM than watching your players figure out the plot twist you've been subtly hunting for months. #dnd #ttrpg

If you're handling your party's shopping between sessions, keep it fun with a custom shop! Choose what's for sale, add custom items, and make shopping easy for your players with a shopping cart that handles discounts, etc. redcap.press/shop-manager #dnd #ttrpg

Only a few days left to get any and all Redcap Press adventures for 60% off! #dnd #ttrpg

I have @andyserkis.bsky.social singing as Tom Bombadil stuck in my head, and it's making me wonder why I'm sitting at work instead of dancing in a forest.

Nothing is more satisfying as a DM then bringing back the party's favorite NPC from ages ago, when the party thinks they'll never see them again. Bonus points if they're from a previous campaign, and even more bonus points if their life is now different because of what the party did. #dnd #ttrpg

Thanks to the folks at "Tales and Tankards" for this awesome review of our Die Hard one-shot, glad you liked it! talesandtankards.com/reviews/one-...

All our adventures are 60% off (only $1.99 each!) through Valentine's Day because we love TTRPGs! Check them out here: redcap.press/adventures #dnd #ttrpg

I saw this post and feel like this is a really important opportunity to talk about gender and my own background and the creation of Perils & Princesses and what it means to me as a personal piece of self-expression and as a communal piece of work as a role playing game community. 🧵

This is a picture somebody posted of the (awesome) hand-drawn map they used to run our Die Hard-themed one-shot. I'll never get over how fun it is to see actual evidence of people having fun with our stuff out in the real world! #dnd #ttrpg

It's a great day when your game is tomorrow and the stars align and you don't need to prep anything because you're already ready to go. Today is not that day. #dnd #ttrpg

People that have written RPGs or create for them, which games have the best licenses for third-party creations? Which do the best at maintaining a balance between maintaining ownership and making it as easy as possible for others to create? #rpg #ttrpg​

RPG tip from the archive: End your mini-campaign with a "what happens two years later?" montage. Let the players drive it. #dnd #ttrpg

Re-reading (technically listening) to The Lord of the Rings for the first time in a long time. Hot take: this Tolkien guy is pretty good.

Shower thought: pull out a karaoke machine the next time a character in your D&D campaign is going to perform on stage. Their Performance check determines how much auto-tune they get. #dnd #ttrpg

Every TTRPG campaign: "The fate of the world hangs in the balance! Should we mobilize the army? Call upon our archmages? Summon our ancient dragon protectors?" "No need! We have 3-5 violent idiots!" #dnd #ttrpg

Lord of the Rings changelog, 1938.

Do RPGs need balance? If that question has got you yelling affirmatives or negatives at your screen, enjoy this article on the role balance plays in tabletop, and how we might toss it all out! READ MORE: bit.ly/45kzf0O

Imagine if the box text in a TTRPG adventure module contained half a page of song lyrics like in the Lord of the Rings. Who's brave enough to try? #ttrpg #dnd #lotr

When the players decide to head to that place with a cool name that you threw on the map 6 months ago and definitely totally have figured out already: (If anybody has clever ideas for a section of the Underdark called "The Singing Tunnels, let me know!) #dnd #ttrpg​

Just heard about @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social's old DMsGuild book: "My Dad's Monster Manual" Absolutely hilarious idea, I can't wait to see what his dad thinks of MCDM bugbears (or literally anything in the Demons section). #dnd #ttrpg #DrawSteel

Everybody says to not worry if your players bypass a cool thing you prepped because you can always re-use it later. This is true. Except for maps. There's only so much dry-erase in my house; sometimes I need to erase an awesome volcano temple to make room for an awesome wizard tower. #dnd #ttrpg​

Who needs AI art when you have absolute banger public domain art like this from the 1600s?

RPG tip: Keep the spotlight moving player to player when they split up so no one gets left out. #dnd #ttrpg

DM Tip: Remember to hand out Inspiration! It's really easy to forget it when you have a million other things to focus on, but it's worth it to reward (and therefore encourage) the player's being extra clever! #dnd #ttrpg​

Watched "The Rise and Fall of DMsGuild" by @trekiros.bsky.social; definitely worth your time! As somebody starting out in the 3rd party space it definitely resonated. (Also, in the theme of the end of the video, if anybody stumbles across my profile and is interested in a collab, please reach out!)

Fun D&D puzzle you can steal: ​Our party split up. One group found a journal covered in arcane runes, and unlocking it required touching them in a certain order. The others found a paper with the solution. Watching them try to describe ​a bunch of runes using Sending was incredible. #dnd #ttrpg​

When you order a proof for your first Print on Demand product and see that it'll show up in 4-6 weeks 🙃

Update: This is as close as we got. We'll get you next time, @criticalrole.bsky.social! (Also, I just downloaded my copy of Daggerheart and it looks awesome) #dnd #ttrpg #CriticalRole

The one shot Dungeons and Dragons adventure by indie designer Redcap Press throws unarmed heroes into a hostage situation with a familiar baddy ⬇️ #DnD #DungeonsAndDragons #DieHard www.wargamer.com/dnd/one-shot...

DM Tip: Have a ladder handy in case that smoke detector that's really hard to reach starts chirping in the middle of your game 🙃 #ttrpg #dnd

"Awaken" may have replaced "Reincarnate" as my favorite spell. Somebody at @dndbeyond.com must really like Druids, they get all the fun toys. (Also, please give a warm welcome to Bob the potted plant, our party's newest best friend) #dnd #ttrpg

Who's played Brindlewood Bay? How'd you like it? How does the fact that mysteries don't have a fixed answer feel when you're playing? Specifically worried about players new to TTRPGs in general, where a more guided system might be easier. #dnd #ttrpg​

Reincarnate is just the best spell ever. Feel bad about your character dying? Don't worry, now you get to be a gnome! #dnd #ttrpg

Oh... uh... I guess "I'm coming for you, @criticalrole.bsky.social!" or something like that. (Really, this just makes me question the sanity of DriveThruRPG's algorithm) #dnd #ttrpg #DaggerHeart

Quick update: our new Die Hard-themed adventure, "One Shot to Die Hard" is now also available on @itch.io (as well as @drivethrurpg.com, like before). Check it out here: redcappress.itch.io/one-shot-to-... #dnd #ttrpg

Happy New Year! #dnd #ttrpg

Itch's "Open Revenue Sharing" model (a.k.a. "Pay us whatever you want, even if it's nothing") is generous enough to be mind-boggling, especially these days. Fantastic work, @itch.io, you rock.

Polishing up the first of a series of adventures that could accurately be called something like "a small town in the middle of nowhere has a disproportionately large problem and oh boy was it convenient that you showed up" #dnd #ttrpg​

NEW ADVENTURE! Throw your party into their very own action movie in this single-session adventure inspired by Die Hard. Explore 6 floors of a wizard's tower, play with custom magic items, and defeat a criminal mastermind. Yipee Ki-Yay! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/550463 #dnd #ttrpg

From last night's session: "They wouldn't be heading there, there's nothing there but a bunch of spliffed-out xvarts." #dnd #ttrpg​
