I don't often get to make TTRPG characters, but when I do, I like to think of other characters from media who fit that vibe or archetype I'm going for. Nervous academic young man is the vibe for this character.

My Games Week schedule is stacked. These are the places I will be over the week. Will I see anyone at any of these events? #MIGW25 #gamesweek #ttrpgs #ttrpg

Great typo for a Monday morning. Deck of Many Thighs, anyone?

I think I've come to terms with the fact that each year that I organise, record, and produce all of the content for Games Week at the Table, something will go wrong with at leaat one or more of the recordings. 😅

It was great to chat about how this long standing uni social club runs, especially the fresher campaigns, quiz nights and camps!

I've got some BIIIGGG things cooking up for October/November. So even as I am on my way to GM a couple of games, I'm also thinking about all the things I've got to do. Exciting but daunting.

I do love Good Society Collaboration. Quote from last night's game: "I can't believe my dad's a bottom." 🤣🤣

It's August 2025. You're preparing for a Good Society game while listening ot the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack.

What do you get when you mix hot sauce and dungeons and dragons? You get DTwenty Sauce Co! Dan and Stevie caught up with the founder of DTwenty Sauce Co, Jon, to chat about his business, process, upcoming products and more! open.spotify.com/episode/7hMS... #dnd #ttrpgs #ttrpg #ausrpg

Do you have Aus TTRPG trivia rolling around in your brain? Send it to me!!! forms.gle/dGGFEAa87Juv... #ttrpg #ausrpg #ttprgs #ausgaming #austtrpgdev

I have made more progress on my homebrew world over the last month than the last two years with these two simple hacks: 1) reading more fiction, especially in similar genre(s) 2) writing a few sentences (or more) every day or so. It's almost like inspiration+consistency makes progress. 😅

I'm crowd-sourcing quiz questions about the Australian TTPRG scene. Submit your question ideas! forms.gle/khanDMsigwrH...

There's a lot of overlap between being a writer and being a game master - e.g. unhinged Google searches. Today I've Googled "Demon name generator" and "Medieval mining techniques" and they're both related to the same story.

This was such an amazing chat! I learned lots of things and it's always a delight to talk to the Storybrewers.

In this episode @osullivankate.bsky.social and @ashtafelix.bsky.social spoke to Gemma Driscoll, better known across the interwebs as @geeofdee.bsky.social and they talk about TTRPGs, life lessons, and the journey of becoming a GM. creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/... #ttrpgs #podcasts #ausrpg

I (for economic reasons) still run a lot of D&D5e. I adore the system I've built up for session 0, which includes some of my fave mechanics borrowed from other TTRPGs like connection questions and letting players create NPCs to give to me.

My old person habit is sitting on the couch drinking whiskey and watching old episodes of Time Team.

My kid's teacher suggested we use chat GPT to generate editing exercises on topics that interest him. I said, screw that. So now I'm a 38 year old man writing bad Minecraft fan fiction with errors in it for my son to correct.

If I shoot a fire arrow at this, there should be a loot chest behind it, right?

If you missed our Q&A panel on Thursday, here’s the special episode, featuring @ashtafelix.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/656g...

On last night's panel with the @mastersofalchemy.bsky.social podcast, I mentioned my 4 step method for prepping for sessions when I'm feeling the blank page paralysis. G - Goals (party's goals) O - On hand NPCs L - Locations D - Dangers and Complications

Off to be a guest panellist at Fortress. We'll be answering common questions about being a game master.

TONIGHT 26/06 at Fortress Melbourne 7pm - Ask 3 Game Masters questions about running TTRPGs! I'm on the panel! Free Entry. Come for the Q&A, stay for the chance to find your next party! fortress.games/realms-unlea...

One of the bonuses about being a guy is that I can have scuffed painted nails and uneven eyeliner and people still think it's cute.

It's fun to think that in Ancient Egypt they probably used d20s as some kind of divination tool and we've kept that tradition alive in TTRPGs and Magic 8 balls. www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti...

Did I NEED to buy new dice to play Big Gay Orcs? Kinda. Every player needs 1 red, 1 black, and 1 white d6. I couldn't find white so I subbed in the light yellow. 😂

End of June is busy! I still have spaces in all of these games, though, so there's more room for shennnanigans! linktr.ee/ashtafelix

I am frantically trying to get a bunch of work done before my MMR booster takes me out. So far, it's been almost 24 hours, and I'm doing okay.

I have been a very busy little guy. Last week I ran 7 games. This week I've only run 2, but I've also had a meeting with members of the @melbqueerttrpgs.bsky.social community, edited podcasts and done a bunch of reflection on my personal branding.

Was at The Adaptation Game facilitators training today. It's an RPG that helps communities build resiliency and agency in the face of climate change.

I'm super pumped for Tabletop Open Day! Card games, board games, ttrpgs, artists, hot sauce, mega games! It's going to be EPIC! Sun May 4 Free entry St Kilda Town Hall. Doors open at 11am. www.arcrpg.org/games-vendor...
