Hey #ttrpgCommunity! What's a common GM habit that you think should be reconsidered or even eliminated? #ttrpgs #dnd #rpg #gaming

GM Tip: Prepare meaningful consequences for failure. A loss shouldn't be the end: it should open new story paths that are equally compelling to explore. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

How do you handle it when the dice completely derail your planned encounter? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

Our friends at #TerraAlpha just launched a #Kickstarter for their official #ShadowsOverSol #AudioDrama today! I've heard some of their preview samples and they sound fantastic! It's based on our best selling #SirensCall campaign. If you like #scifi audio dramas, I recommend you check it out!

GM Tip: While there's no need to prepare every detail, don't under-prepare because you were afraid your efforts would be wasted. Nothing you make is ever wasted. You can use it later, in this campaign or the next. Even if you never use it, the practice still made you a better GM. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

What's the longest description your GM has given for something that should have been simple? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

GM Tip: Looking to set a regular schedule for a #ttrpg campaign? Set it about 50% as frequently as you know you're capable of running. You will inevitably have other games or life events occasionally, and starting at 100% is a one-way ticket to burnoutsville. #rpg #dnd #ttrpgCommunity

So you've designed an RPG and want to publish it? Here's a thread on how to break into TTRPG publishing. (1/11)​ #TTRPG #IndieDev #RPGdesign #Publishing​ #IndieRPG #dnd #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

GM Tip: Help your players set goals for their characters. One of the best questions is: "What does your character want, and why can't they get it?" As a GM, these answers give you a lot to work with. #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgCommunity #rpg

Have you ever seen a GM's carefully laid plans devoured by a cursed item and player ingenuity? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

Great review of #ShadowsOverSol over on @wargamer.com! #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgsky #rpg #tabletop #gaming

Has one of your player character's casual attitudes ever clashed hilariously with a serious campaign moment? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

Some tips for breaking into tabletop RPG design! (1/9) To create an RPG, you must first WRITE one. Pick a concept and go for it. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Just get something on the page. Your journey begins with that first paragraph. #TTRPGdesign #GameDev #RPGdesign #IndieRPG

GM Tip: Your players don't know what you have planned and they probably won't know if you screw up somewhere. Corollary: Your players don't know what you have planned and no matter how many hooks you hang for them, they are going to do something you didn't plan for. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #ttrpgCommunity

I was on the fence about backing SHADOWS OVER SOL - I have a half-dozen sci-fi horror games on my shelf, and eventually they all blur together - but I stumbled across this 2018 write-up from the designer and was so enamored with their thoughtful approach that I snuck in a pledge.

When has one of your character concepts or your game's campaign premise unexpectedly overlapped with another player's or the GM's? Any funny stories? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

Backed #ShadowsOverSol 2E last night. If the digital bundle pledges grant access to any potential Foundry VTT unlocked stretch goals, then it's a fairly cheap pledge for granting VTT access. I also have zero familiarity wth Shadows Over Sol so this is my first real exposure.

GM Tip: When prepping a session, aim to craft short scenes with concrete details. Within each scene have something like 3-7 bullet points reminding you of things you wanted to mention, details about the room, beginnings of an NPC speech, etc. #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgCommunity #rpg

What #openGaming license would people in the #ttrpgCommunity recommend these days? It used to be that OGL was the go-to license for #ttrpgs, but its use seems to have withered away after the events of 2023. Would you recommend ORC? Creative Commons? Something else? #ttrpg #dnd #indiegame #dnd

GM Tip: Want your players to hate the villain? Have her impose annoying inconveniences on the party. For example, if the villain is a corrupt city ruler. Have her soldiers impose a tax on the party, or search their possessions and seize an object of moderate value. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #ttrpgCommunity
