I’m building the most delightful soundboard for TTRPGs. Because epic sound should be a cantrip, not a ritual spell @ bardic.tools

Hello adventurers, I’ve been working once again with @bardic.tools to create some new chilling horror ambiances. It has evolved a lot since our first collaboration, and I cannot recommend it enough, as it has turned into my got to audio soundscape. Happy hunting, Kris

I’ve been obsessing for weeks: We should film a high-quality show where I interview amazing GMs for their tips. 4 guests in mind, but great production is 💸… Eff it. @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social @matthewmercer.bsky.social @ginnydi.com If any of you comes, we’ll fly you to London to film S1.

A very kind user at UKGE came to our stand and brough to my attention that one of the two fonts in Bardic Tools is really hard to read for people with Dyslexia, to the point of *gasp* distracting them a lot during the game. Unacceptable! So here it is, a toggle to use a much friendlier font #dnd

"Will I one-shot the bard with my Fireball?" Ah, the age-old question. To help with that, we've just released a new small, gorgeous calculator for #dnd5e (and #ttrpg that uses dice). Try it now down here 👇👇👇👇 bardic.tools/calculators/... 👀

Tomorrow, it may very well be the last session of a 4-year Curse of Strahd campaign. 73 sessions 😱 I'm now preparing a playlist called "Fighting the Gods", and I'm getting a SO hyped. And little emotional, honestly 🥲 It's not how it ends in the book, but I wouldn't change a thing. #dnd #ttrpgs

Great thing about using paper standees instead of minis for #DnD? You can more easily represent, say, when a dragon tears its own broken wing off to hit the players with it.

You have prepared the perfect music playlist for your players. The perfect forest ambience. For next session, you want “the same music, but in a mountain” Just copy the whole thing! I can’t believe I never thought of this until a Discord user asked for it. 👇👇👇👇 #dnd #ttrpg

... Look. Sometimes you're building a farm scene for D&D. Sometimes, finding the perfect sound for a D&D soundboard is hard. Sometimes... you have to experiment. And sometimes, those experiments end up creating a *demonic pig sound* 🐽 Sorry. 🐽 #dnd #ttrpgcommunity #ttrpg #homebrew

Here are the most cool things that came to our #DnD soundboard this month (long version here: blog.bardic.tools/bardic-tools...). 1.- 164 new sounds, including a myriad of professionally-produced gems like this one (use headphones at your own peril. Read the name. It's gross.): 1/

It’s always a great day to go out and capture some interesting sounds for #DnD. Did you know that a bathtub draining sounds exactly like a big, mood, slimy monster growling in an abandoned mansion?

So, I just launched a major update: I re-wrote The Library, from the ground up! 👉 Sleek new search bar with arrow navigation. 👉 Landscape mode to fit all the features we have planned for this year. 👉 It's *so fast*. Finding the perfect sound just became a cantrip. Like it? #dnd #ttrpg #dnd5e
