Fantasy taverns need stranger drinks. Give me: - the name - colour - side effect of a tavern drink from your setting. I’ve been creating random tavern details for this month’s Dice and Design.

Help me introduce my character! #mythras #ttrpgcommunity

GM question: What’s your personal “panic move” when players derail a session? Mine is introducing an NPC and pretending I planned them all along. 😂😂😂 #gamemaster #ttrpg

How do you handle consequences in Mythras?

What matters most after combat? • Injuries • Reputation • Resources • Story impact

What’s the best consequence you’ve used in a game?

What should happen after combat?

Scenario: Your players start a tavern fight. No one dies. What happens next?

If you’ve ever frozen when your villain speaks… I made something for you. Villain Lines Series 4 volumes 52 ready-to-use lines No prep needed 👉 £2 each or £5 for the full set

Small vs big - ONE REALLY matters! #ttrpgcommunity

Consequences don’t need to be big. They just need to be consistent.

After every fight, ask one question: “What changes now?”

One question fix - INSTANTLY!

Just proofreading the location spotlight for June's Dice and Design Fanzine! I've added excerpts from people's journals to add depth It is certainly a mystery! - Reading the final words made me smile a job well done! https://f.mtr.cool/auzjwovyjy

They resolve the fight— but not the aftermath.

Short. Simple. Dangerous: “Run. It makes no difference.” That line alone can define a villain. 👉 Calm = confidence 👉 Confidence = fear
