I'm in the Yukon! Of course I couldn't help but check out the local TTRPG scene in Whitehorse. Even this far north there's a hobby shop/bar called Titans Tavern and Geek Shop Food was way better than I expected, and there was a ton of people playing mtg, dnd, and warhammer40k. (1/2)

And as I keep trying to encourage my players, but they won't follow through because "morality": A magic weapon with The Orphaners soul would go hard. Imagine a bloodthristy weapon called The Orphaner that won't harm children. That's sick af. #ttrpg #dnd #worldbuilding

In my steampunk fantasy TTRPG setting Oddities In Engress: Rumours swirl of a serial killer who targets parents, leaving the child unharmed. The public has dubbed the killer "The Orphaner", and there is a sizeable bounty on The Orphaner's head. #ttrpg #dnd #worldbuilding

Lucy, a dragon girl OC commission. Really proud of the process I came up with to make the arm scales. I stream on twitch if you want to see more. #art | #ttrpg | #commission | #oc | #fantasyart | #ranger

This TTRPG sounds like you should just make foundational rules for how to apply properties with values to materials, abstract those values those for crafting, and provide some examples for game masters. IE: A tooth has values like hardness, sharpness. These values translate to defense or damage.

Books are nearly commonplace in my #TTRPG setting Oddities In Engress. Gangs even have their own weekly newsletters! Engress is a city steaming unchecked into the industrial revolution, its rapid advancement wouldn't be possible without the cities heavy investments in its university and libraries!

This morning my ttrpg posting has been maybe a tad unhinged. I apologize. It should be very unhinged, I'll do better next time.

Finally. Someone gets it! I expect you all to quit your jobs and join my dnd groups instead, please and thank you. #ttrpg #dndhumor

Just because you have a hobby like ttprg doesn't mean you're immatu- NVM YOUR USERNAME IS LUCIFER VON PENIS I SPOKE TOO SOON. Carry on. Have a nice day.

Me AF when I started with ttrpgs. It was my first big social experiment with being openly effeminate with my friends. I also remember always INSISTING that I just didn't have the gold in RuneScape to gender swap back to a male character...

One player in my campaign is a warforged artificer. He's put automated turrets on the company vehicle, brought satchel charges to a raid, and rigged the roombas to explode when intruders break into the agency!

Curiously, teleportation magic in my setting works best when mapping the planes as flat and using imaginary numbers to form complex planes, projecting a holographic 3d world. Despite their observed spherical appearance, planes are considered mathematically flat! #worldbuilding #ttrpg #dnd

The written laws have been broken so many times I can't count, but there is one big unwritten law that they have learned the hard way never to break: Never mess with Sir Vladimir Strode. The cities most loved philanthropist has a dark side feared by all the cities elite. #ttrpg #dnd

Gangs are feared and sometimes respected more than the police. Particularly, the leading syndicate, the Bastards Of Bastion (BoBs), whose crime fortress is said to be the second beating heart of the City Engress. It all sets the stage for wonderful drama in a dystopian steampunk fantasy TTRPG world

Someone signed up to play in my ttrpg campaign setting Oddities In Engress on Friday evenings! I'm super hyped! We only need two more to get started. If you are interested in a dystopian steampunk fantasy detective campaign, check out the startplaying listing! #dnd #virtualplay #tabletop

Nothing like a good old fashioned trolley problem to give a GM the chance to sit back with a bucket of popcorn and watch the roleplay unfold! Honestly, my favorite moments as a GM is when the session practically plays itself and I can just watch. #dnd #ttrpg

I've been helping playtest the TTRPG vibe check! It's a ton of fun and has a lot of character options for combat. Try it out! I recommend setting up a combat-oriented oneshot, like a dungeon crawl. Don't be afraid to try interesting combinations of themes and abilities!

That's how things go in my TTRPG campaign Oddities In Engress! The Players are employees of a detective agency: Oddballs with unique skills who each work a different suitable supporting role as their day job such such as accountant, lawyer, janitor, security guard, maintenance, receptionist etc

My description of attack rolls during my last #DND session felt inspired! The enemy was an occult feux-prophet who rested his hand on the shoulder of the player character whenever attacking. If he hit, the PC simply didn't resist as he casually plunged a dagger into their gut. Unsettling. #ttrpg

Shoutout to @leocaussan.bsky.social, creator of the bibites. I've been working with him and the other Omnia Studios contributors to run this tournament! Give him some love! The Bibites is an amazing years long passion project.

Hey all! I know I'm usually just ttrpg posting but SOMETIMES I do things other than dnd I've been collaborating with the creator of The Bibites to create a Bibite Battle Royale. Check out this official tournament announcement video! #alife #artificiallife #TheBibites #battleroyale #tournament

Is there a trope name for when a fantasy #ttrpg setting that has a technological/sci-fi past? #worldbuilding #fantasyworldbuilding #writing

This would be really neat, seeing all the branches and how various systems diverge. Problem is, a lot of that inspiration often goes unacknowledged. Are there TTRPG historians? Like historians that specialize in the identifying what mechanics originated where and how they co-evolved? #ttrpg #dnd

Introduce yourself with your top n* #TTRPG picks. No particular order... Goblin Punks Honey Heist DnD5e Psych-0 team Drakar och Demoner Unnamed (a totally homebrew system one of my campaigns uses that has no name yet) *Where n is a whole number greater than 1

Phase 2! Crashing the train, blowing it up along with Project: Manifest... it isn't enough. Time to finish this fight before something ungodly is unleashed upon the world. Ok the players managed to find another solution besides derailing the train but I had this prepared just in case! #ttrpg #dnd

In a campaign I kept very detailed notes, but all from the perspective of my character who was an unreliable narrator that believed she was a human in a world of giants. She was a fairy. At the start of each session, we recapped with the story of the last session from her perspective #ttrpg #dnd

In the fight I ran last night, when the enemy got to low HP he went into a berserk state and gained a second turn on the turn order. It went HARD, the players went from hopeful to fearful and excited. Big fan of bosses with multiple turns on the turn order to enhance their threat! #dnd #ttrpg

A superhero campaign I play in takes place in the real world, except there are super powered people and some politicians are changed. We go over the last week of events every session, often incorporating real world stuff. This gets interesting results (1/3) #dnd #ttrpg #tabletop #roleplay

Last night the dice chose to kill an NPC that I Ioved as GM It was hard to let it happen, but it was worth it for the storytelling and the resulting RP from the players. They are more motivated than ever to fight the BBEG! RIP to a real one, he didn't deserve to go out like that. #DND #TTRPG

#TTRPG #Worldbuilding prompt: How do the people of your setting shit talk each other? What are their insults, clapbacks, and devastating pun liners? #dndhumor #dnd #fantasyworldbuidling #writing

It really depends on the TTRPG system and roleplay style. I have two campaigns where we use foundryVTT all the time, one where we don't use anything despite still being online I think VTTs are strongest when they have automation that improves immersion by reducing the time spent figuring out rolls.

Im 14 and this is deep dnd this is like saying the key to creating a great TTRPG adventure is to draw the rest of the owl. No advice here, only the results to expect from a great adventure.

lmao this would never... this would... but it... Actually just roleplaying out the fight is perfectly valid and can run smoother than doing a full initiative combat encounter. I only go to battlemaps and initiative when character positions will likely get too complicated to do theater of the mind.

1 like = 1 TTRPG in my library (And quote this, #ttrpysky. I want to know what's in your TTRPG library too!)

The six elements are directly related to the composition of six of the seven stars of creation. All magic in my TTRPG setting, Oddities In Engress originates from the stars. Earth, Wind, Air, Fire, Necrosis, and Radiance. #dnd #worldbuilding #writing

Love this ttrpg character idea. Like IRL, you don't pick your family. You're stuck with what life saddled you with I feel like this could inform a lot of interesting character backstory and dynamics. Especially when those family members become your oc's nemesis. #dnd #roleplay #tabletop #ttrpgs

The great collapse is still visible today as large sinkholes dotting Preachers Promise in the city Engress. Once an underground city, and the wealthiest city in the world due to a wealth of precious metals. Overmining led to a series of major collapses, causing mass migration to the surface.

I think there's a reason a lot of TTRPGs put character creation ahead of the denser rules. Establish a basic foundation, then do character creation where players will get some of the other rules through osmosis, then the deeper combat rules. #ttprg #dnd #tabletop

Assuming new players will excessively struggle, or that veterans can't adapt, is a silly preposition to begin with. It tries to polarize along an axis that'll never be black and white. I have a preference towards those strong in roleplay. That can come from any level of TTRPG experience.

My ttrpg setting has a lot to say about capitalism and environmental destruction Oddities In Engress is a dystopian capitalist society where industrialization is literally choking the city with smog. The main groups fighting back are gangs, unions, and disenfranchised war veterans. #dnd #ttrpgs

I should also mention that I've started another TTRPG community where I'll be: - running various one-shots and campaigns! - Posting updates on the TTRPG setting I'm writing, Oddities In Engress! Join here: discord.com/invite/VMMGdgSg3M

In my TTRPG campaign setting Oddities In Engress, players work supporting roles at a detective agency and live upstairs in employee housing. Players take roles like accountant, lawyer, reception, costumer, maintenance, and more! It makes for some interesting dynamics. #ttrpgs #dnd #worldbuilding

Playtested the TTRPG Vibe Check with the creator @redshiftedgame.bsky.social yesterday. It was a ton of fun, and exceedingly silly. I was a defence contractor leading a mix of summoned workers and soldiers. My workers built two trucks and bunkers on the flatbeds. We rode them gallantly into battle.

Does anyone else get pre-session anxiety that just completely melts away the moment you start the session? Like I will be so anxious before I start running it, but completely forget about it the moment I start. I get that flow state instantly.

Um... wouldn't that become a roleplaying game about being a table? Since now you're talking about the whole unit and not the surface of play?

As someone who's written larps, judged larp game jams, and played plenty of indie TTRPGs: I often don't feel connected to the indie ttrpg community because of how many people have such vitriol towards dnd and its fans. It's pretty alienating. I dislike WOTC, but I just... don't give them my money.

Another look at the map of the city Engress, this time with an overlay showing all the gangs in the city and their turf! Ask me anything about the city gangs! I'll give you the answer, worldbuild it on the spot if there isn't one. #ttrpg #dnd #daggerheart #cartography #fantasymapmaking
