Always making the adventure personal, even a pre-written. NPC's become friends, rivals, lovers, neighbours or just plain interested. Weaving backstory in effortlessly.

My favourite GM is brilliant at rendering incidental (?) NPCs. Each one has a personality, an attitude, and relationships. Nobody is "Castle Guard Two", or "Local Peasant". Princes and beggars alike have individual attitudes, motivations, homes and stories. This makes the gameworld feel real.

Think of your favourite DM/GM Tell us a small habit/quirk/custom that makes them so good...

In the World Cup of your favourite podcasts, which two would be the finalists? 🏆🎙️🎧

In this week's episode, the gang spot an automaton looking upset Which is weird because sentient automatons are supposed to be extinct and illegal in Elestia... 🤖

Seeksorrow tries to have some fun - but it backfires horribly! What's his secret? Only one way to find out... 🎧🎲👉 dicecompanypodcast.com/chapters/cam...

Here's a peak at what's going on in this week's chapter of @dicecompany.bsky.social - check it out here (or wherever you get podcasts): open.spotify.com/episode/3a60...

We FINALLY hear more about SeekSorrow’s background! And it’s… a lot.

🚨 ALARM 🚨 Chapter 102 of our Small Embers campaign is out now! If you're enjoying the show PLEASE DEAR LORD PLEASE leave a review wherever you listen 🙏❤️🎲

I’d quite like to know this too. For scheduling if nothing else…

Give me a dump truck full of money and I WILL make it my full time job to run a mecha rpg with 3d battle maps every Tuesday at 7pm EST on (whatever popular streaming website) dot com

What system should we try next?

This is so cool! I might do a lil retrospective of all the games we’ve run on SH and thoughts on them all! 😁😁😁

What's the best system for Actual Play podcasts? We don't know - so we're trying loads! Here's the list so far: (with thanks to @benniequez.bsky.social for updating this) ❤️🎲

A 1st edition Augustus Zeno liquid core chonk I made for @alexmorrison81.bsky.social of @dicecompany.bsky.social fame. I set it aside while testing & tweaking colors & glitter & only recently found it. Sorry. It's in the shop & there's a 25% off sale going on. Code SUMMER. #dice #dnd #ttrpg

Ever recruited an NPC for a vital task? Tell us the tale! We'll start. We give you... Old Pete 🎲💣

@dicecompany.bsky.social has been a comfort listen for me since I found them just after they started. For a trip I'd recommend their Mothership series Dark Star - The Galaxy's Local Service Provider, because I have never laughed so much at an AP before

Oh yeah I've added the Shelleys to this thread! bsky.app/profile/wobb... ... On top of sharing stories, they played a collaborative poetry game popular in the 17th C.--one Charles Sorel compared to a variant of the collaborative storytelling game the jeu du Roman: gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/b...

We’re not secret millionaires who can fund the amazing responses here. But we can offer the second episode in the FINAL season of our Small Embers campaign. dicecompanypodcast.com/chapters/cam...

Call for a millionaire to prove their worth and fund all of this IMMEDIATELY!

*cracks knuckles in this is what I used to do* Any cast any budget any system anywhere? I'm partnering with the network to stream a 4 episode mini series of Eldritch Care Unit by Chris Falco with the cast of Scrubs (who will be playing the cast of Scrubs) run by Deborah Ann Woll

I would get @lauren-urban.com, @bdavewalters.bsky.social, @travismcelroy.bsky.social, @theedoctorb.bsky.social, and @theoperageek.com to play in a Little Game Masters campaign. I would GM, and make these absolutely hillarious individuals who are known for performance and gaming play a kids game.

I give @naomithinksit.bsky.social and @michellicopter.bsky.social a blank check and I wait for the massive success that will undoubtedly follow.

You’ve been tasked with creating a TTRPG actual play! You have access to any players, any system and any budget. What you running? With who? And how?

Yes, it's chapter 100, but it's also a good place to start if you've not listened before.

This is an absolutely amazing achievement by a gang of tremendous people! Congratulations to @dicecompany.bsky.social and onwards and upwards towards 200!

Chapter 100 is out!!! I actually can’t believe we’ve made it to triple digits.

@dicecompany.bsky.social just finished listening to your Sablewood Messengers #daggerheart playthrough. I really hope you finish it. It is really good. Why did Barnacle sound like Gingy from Shriek?? Love you guys!

Last time I got Charlie with the fact that numbers don't actually stop going up which was a real highlight. For me. So naturally I'm preparing a whole sheet of accusations and general slander for this one! People should come along, it is going to be chaotic fun I can guarantee that!

This was lots of fun last time. Come join the stupid madness.
