jd vance coming to bluesky to rub it in everyones faces they’ve banned trans healthcare for kids is all the proof we need that they know what they’re doing, it is a politics of intentional evil and spite

Thinking of starting up some play-by-post #TTRPG games after a player complimented my writing skills recently. Honestly never really considered it before. Anyone have any recommendations/tips for this kind of game? #PbP #DnD

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

Fresh off the Presses: Some #TTRPG & #DnD / #D&D Advice for you: Got a player that Likes Crafting and want to keep the party from sitting still for 2d10 days while they make their super awesome Armor/Weapons/etc.? Give them a small mobile Crafting Station they can deploy on a Long Rest!

Just finished a Session, and had someone reach out to me for a oneshot to ring in the new year. Slowly but surely, getting busier bit by bit! #TTRPG #DnD #D&D #ProDM #ProGM #ProGMsOfBsky

There are few better feelings as a GM than a Player, days after a session, asking for an aside to pose a Lore question and them opening it up with "Have I lost it? Or is this right?" and they proceed to be entirely correct about the theory. I love my Lore Hound Players! #TTRPG #D&D #DnD

I have a new game coming up soon, and my players are chomping at the bit to get it started to the point that I’m scheduling backstory 1 on 1s ahead of game just to let them have that before they get to the full sessions #TTRPG #D&D #DnD

They promised to lower grocery prices but instead want to start war with Canada.

Happy Holidays Everyone! #HappyHolidays May you find warmth and joy with those you care for!

#TTRPG #D&D Today I Set up and released an early set of "Critmas" Presents to all of my Players. GMs! What, if anything, do you do for the holiday season? Players! Share anything your GMs did to make you feel special this season!

I'd say whenever I'm putting together a #TTRPG or #DnD / #D&D Campaign of any kind, the first thing I do is find a core concept, be it an idea, point of view, or something else I want to explore through the campaign. It can be relevant to the world, a wider philosophical view, or even just 1/ 🧵

#TTRPGtip An easy way to encourage players to roleplay and describe their actions as a GM for any system, especially newer players who may not know how to do so, is to open the door for them by taking their existing ideas, descriptions, etc. and adding to it a bit, then rewarding them for it too!

So, had to push back my session last night due to one player getting held at work late, and even though it was supposed to end at 2am-ish, the players powered through till ~3, and showered me with praise for an additional hour. Simultaneously exhausted and very happy. #TTRPG #D&D #DnD #ProDM

Absolute Cinema. I'm sold. So anyways, I'm going to disappear for a bit once this game drops, so don't be alarmed if I vanish for a week. #EldenRingNightreign

#TTRPGThursday Tip: Players! Roleplay doesn't stop in combat! Describe how you perform an attack, cast a spell, etc. with some detail! You don't have to Stop Roleplay just because you're rolling the dice, and Roleplay isn't just about speaking as your character

honestly pretty funny media organizations reported luigi mangiones manfiesto as “chilling text from a disturbed mind” and then it was leaked and the manifesto essentially said “i think the healthcare industry is parasitic”

It's bad enough that major media outlets refused to publish the manifesto (though they were happy to quote from it selectively); but they also won't even articulate a reason why. Shouldn't they at least have to explain the decision?

I may have just spitballed together a slice of life #TTRPG system for a game that’s not very slice of life centric and am now wondering if I should spin the mechanics off into a more fleshed out system/maybe a whole game system…

#TTRPG #DnD A gentle and kind reminder that the tables you play at should be a safe place for everyone playing. Safety tools, consent checklists, etc. are important and you wouldn’t catch me at a table without them either hosting or playing.

Just ran my Private Game tonight and had a jolly time doing an early Holiday Special for it since a player won't be able to play till Early January. Suffice to say, it was a blast and I just got a lot of praise for presenting them an option they thought was already forgone! #TTRPG #DnD #D&D #ProGMs

Additional #TTRPG #DM / #GM Tip! Rules, ideas, tables, and mechanics from other TTRPG Games and Systems can help make you a better GM in your preferred systems as well! And Advice for running the game is often widely applicable across almost every other system you can run!

#TTRPG #GM #Protip ! Make Randomized tables for making NPCs! Not only will this help you get out of a slump, the dice often help you spin better stories too! I was just making up an NPC and having trouble, and now I have a wonderful character that helps to tell a great story!!! #TableTopTuesdays

Have you ever wanted to get into a long term D&D or TTRPG game? I've played and run several games that have run for over 3 years, so here's 3 Quick and Simple Tips to help you get into the one of your dreams! youtube.com/shorts/wFJ6k... #TTRPG #D&D #DnD #Protip

No, the DMG (or system equivalent) is a good thing to read through, but if you know the system well enough you can generally get through most things without having read it. That said, you SHOULD always at least read the core sections and anything you aren’t familiar with in the book #TTRPG

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie, #TTRPG sessions/campaigns edition! (Show off some of the funny, weird, and atmospheric vibes of your sessions!!!)

Imagine being one of the richest billionaires on the planet and having a 16 year head start and being so wildly incompetent that you lose the battle for ‘best social media app.’

Especially if the text reads like a crappy ChatGPT rendition of what’s supposed to be there. Just tell me what I need and what to do so I can vibe! We don’t want the nothing burger backstory!

#Protip for defeating the #Thanksgiving family table conversion this year: 1) don’t bother arguing, instead just say you’re thankful that your family can afford your thanksgiving meal this year 2) if someone is insistent on arguing with you, just say “I hope that’s true.” 3) find what joy you 1/2🧵

#TTRPG Any other DMs/GMs love waking up after getting tons of love and praise for a session well played and filled with those sweet sweet cinematic moments? Got praised for over an hour by my Duet last night after session! #DnD #D&D #bskyGMs #bskyDMs

T-Minus 50 Minutes to the 1st Session of a New Campaign! I am definitely over-prepared (like always), but better over than under, eh? #TTRPG #bskyGMs #bskyDMs #D&D #DnD

This! Incredibly important for DMs!!! When you break the rules you need to consider: -is this intended to make the game more fun? -will it **likely** be more fun as a result? -will players enjoy this change/mechanic? -what other effects may this change have on other systems/rules in the game? #TTRPG

Morning #TTRPG DMs and Players Alike! In order to connect with more people in this space, why don't we all share an awesome or fun story with one another from our campaigns/games! I'll start! I was GMing for a party consisting of a Fighter, a Necromancer, and a Rogue. They'd just finished a... 1/🧵

Depends on what it is I'm running/planning to run. If I'm running my own homebrewed content or worlds, I usually set them up in advance to be a "self-sustaining system." More than writing out the possibilities, the world itself and the lore generate Content and Ideas easily. For Modules, I... 🧵/1

For my top 5 #TTRPG picks, I'd have to go with: 1. Five Torches Deep (FTD) 2. Dungeons and Dragons (5th Edition) #D&D 3. Lancer 4. Fabula Ultima 5. City of Mist Reasoning: FTD is a great way to experience a more flexible 5e eques experience, 5e is what I started in, Lancer scratches the Mech 1/
