Everyone thinks mazes/labyrinths are almost impossible to run in online #ttrpg games unless you wanna spend hours setting up hundreds of fog boxes or dynamic lighting.
Here's how I did it Theater of the Mind in a #dnd5e session I ran and my players loved it 🧵👇
I picked a funny time to boot back up the ol' dnd focused twitter account. wtf is happening with the #dnd community? is there a thread I can read? I'm waaaaaaay out of the loop I guess. help me out #ttrpgcommunity
what's the coolest storyline/thread/hook/reveal you've straight up ripped-off from a loved piece of fiction and woven into your #dnd / #ttrpg campaign?
if only we asked "am I actually having fun?" we'd have more people having more fun while playing dnd, and less people worried about aspects of a leisure activity that ultimately don't really matter.
ya know what's fun? playing. know what's not? dreading
It's been a while since I've dusted off the ol' account and sent some stuff out. I've still been playing LOTS of dnd, and building a new TTRPG system with a buddy (currently playtesting). Anyone able to point me to thread of what's happened in the TTRPG space in the last 2 years?
Do you treat HP like a scale of injury from "uninjured" to "dead", or like a theoretical scale of your stamina in battle, with true injuries only occuring when hp is very low?
Since hearing from a ton of you when I posted this a long time ago, I've started writing prologues for EVERY session - and epilogues for many. What about you? What do you do?
How many of you #ttrpg DMs write prologue narration for the session? What about Epilogues? If so, how do you anticipate what the ending will be for the session, or do you railroad a bit to fit it?
How many of you run multiple #ttrpg campaigns in the same world? Do the different parties decisions affect the world for the other? Or are they like alternate timelines of the same universe?
#TTRPG DMs/GMs: not counting encounters/statblocks - how many paragraphs/pages/bullets/whatever do you prep for a typical session? What percentage of that do you think usually gets "used"?
#dnd5e Online ONLY DMs: how many "windows/pages" (IRL pages or digital) do you have open at one time during session? What are the top 3 most referenced?
