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 🧵👇

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?

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?
